I partly stole this idea from Denise, but its a good way of getting things done this summer, and i HAVE to keep to it.
My plans for summer are as follows...
1. Do My Portfolio.
This is quite a good first goal, mainly as it decides whether i get into college or not next year. I have to start drawing more and what not.
2.Work out.
Mainly just to keep myself active, i think maybe start again at one hour a day, my whole routine got fucked up when my exams started so i must get back into it again.
3.Read more.
my aim is 20 books, im starting simple as i have read most that i own and i can't afford to buy more.
4.Save money.
This is because i want to go to America next year after my leaving to see Denise and a few other people.
5.Ties in with number 4, Buy less, again as i want to save, its proving hard as i was in town earlier and wanted to buy at least 4 things >_<
6.Do some extra shifts at work.
Again to get more money up as i may have to stop the job after christmas in order to study.
7.Finish watching some anime.
I have alot to get through this summer, maybe 2 episodes of 2 different shows a day, so one of one episode and one of another.
8.Finish some TV shows/ Movies.
Again i have alot to get through and it would be nice to lighten the load a bit.
9.STUDY.
This is one of the important ones. I was disappointed with my results so i might study a bit over the summer just to keep myself up to date instead of going back in september and having to learn it all again.
10.Learn to speak more fluent Irish.
I would like to speak irish more fluently, mainly for my own amusement, i love the language and would like to be able to uphold a proper conversation.
11.Do up my room.
I have already started on this, i have pulled down all the posters an im packing things away as i write this post, i am going to Ikea on tuesday to get things for my room then i might start painting wednesday.
12.Take a few trips.
I just got back from italy yesterday. I will see about this, i might just go to a few places for the day around Ireland, but nothing big as i can't afford it, i might go to England in August but i will see. I would love to go i love seeing my grandparents but financially at the moment it doesn't look feasible.
13.Spend more time with friends.
Well the way things are looking most people are away for a while, but i would like to spend time with my friends this summer unlike last summer where i barely saw them, now that i have a car it may be easier.
14.Cook more.
I like cooking, i need to get more recipes, so we shall see how this goes.
For now that is all i have they're all quite long winded goals, mainly as i have big expectations haha.

*P.S. Thank you Denise for doing your goal updates, its a really good idea, hence why i half stole it <3

Italia
I was going to do a blow by blow account about Italy, but I'm thinking now i might just outline a few of the things that happened.
I would also like to just add, the first day i was there, i got so frustrated that i went out and bought a pen and notepad so that i could write down my thoughts.... I'm such a geek it is unbelievable.
The first fiasco was before we'd even left the country. First off let me just say, I was driving one car and mom was driving the other, now on the way up the motorway, we were constantly overtaking and as we each passed each other, someone would end up giving someone in the other car the finger, so it was all good fun.
When we got to the airport, there was no check-in desk open for us, so we waited around for about a half an hour, where i was mostly watching the other desks and famous-person hunting, i was secretly wishing to go to America, haha, wishful thinking.
We were the first to check in which was all fine, no over weight cases, and as always i beeped in security, i swear they just like feeling me up ¬_¬
Food was the next priority, there was so many fuck ups with the food, and the fucking alarm kept going off, we waited over an hour to get food, which was just stupid. We ended up having to just go down to the gate right after, which is about a 15 minute walk as its down a huge passageway >_<
When we were waiting by the gate, i needed caffeine so i went off to get coffee just about sat down when i got back with my coffee and people were standing ready to board, so i burnt myself with the coffee >_<
Then up on the screen it flashes delayed.
We ended up being delayed by about an hour.
When we landed we had to get our cases etc and get onto this bus out to the car hire place. As we were sat on the bus i noticed a sign on the back which was in italian and translated (Very badly) into English which read
"For Attention to Kind customer, we do not take responsibility for The Lost Object"
I nearly keeled over laughing, i couldn't decided whether this was an actual object or they meant lost belongings. *giggles again*
Again another delay when we got the car there was an accident on the Autostrade and we had to be diverted, we got to the hotel at about 12:30 Irish time, 1:30 Italian time and 7:30 American time. (Well Denise Time)
The next morning we walked into Desenzano for breakfast, like a 2 minute walk if even, and i had no sunglasses, as i think i said in a previous blog, they had got broken, so i was squinting and looked quite annoyed. Anyway we sat down at this cafe and ordered coffee, i ordered a hot chocolate, and they ordered croissants, now i do not like them, i haven't for a while and no matter how much "But you used to like them" and "Come on they're really nice" was not going to convince me otherwise to eat them. The hot chocolate also turned into disaster, it was literally melted chocolate in a cup, i am not kidding, i should have taken a picture, but i was in such a bad mood already that i was in no mood to laugh/joke etc. As i have possibly said before, i am NOT a mornings person.
We walked around for a while, i bought 2 pairs of sunglasses for like €12, (Thanks Denise for that idea <3) and a new belt. Now baring in mind its about 11am it was about 32 C and getting hotter. We got back to the apartment and went swimming (We had a pool)
Shortly after that we all got ready and off we went again, this time up the mountain in a cable car type of thing, it was really really pretty.
Oh on the way to it, we had some weird conversations. For Example
Adam tried to Ro-Shambo me for the Naboo Island Retreat in Lake Como, but i have dibs on it. This all started as Shelly called dibs on a castle we went past so i called Como palace and Adam decided he wanted it too, i made the HUGE mistake of saying Ro-Shambo my ass, when he said he would ro-shombo me for it >_<
If anyone is wondering Ro-shambo, is when you kick each other in the groin until one of the two falls down.
Anyways, we also went past a crazy golf (Denise, remind me to show you video sometime)
and a place called Movie Land, we wanted to go there but dad said we were too old, to which Michelle yelled "We're NEVER too old for Movie land!!!"
Oh Dad missed the cable car on the way back down and he had to wait for the next one.
Oh we went to this sports shop and i managed to get the Vans i had been looking for Prison Issue #23
In the evenings when it got dark was the best, all the lights it was amazing, and it was really warm too. The first night there was classical music playing in the center of the town, and it was soooo pretty.
So the next morning i got rushed out and i forgot to take a spare t-shirt which was a HUGE mistake. We were heading to Venice and i love Venice. Again it is incredibly hot, and it was gradually getting hotter as the day went on, i had stupidly worn a 3/4 length sleeve top, it was thin but my god was i hot, i thought i was going to melt, i had a very uncomfortable experience while there, my back got so hot, the weirdest thing was i was dying of the heat, but you couldn't tell, if you touched my skin i was like ice. Weird.(Which i have been informed is a sign of sunstroke, alot of things now make sense)
We ate in the same restaurant as i did in March and i loved it, i got a waiters number, heh, he was very very nice, and the service is excellent ^_^
We walked around Sr.Marks, i bought i new t-shirt as i was too hot in the other.
On the way back to the car we stopped int he infamous Billa supermarket, i heart Billa, its cheap and has air conditioning ^^
500ml cans of Coke FTW!!
Oh shit i nearly forgot we went on a gondola tour around Venice, definitely worth €100 that was for the 6 of us, its a fixed price i think, so it was amazing, i would recommend it for sure. We went past Casanovas house ;)
Again got back and went for a swim, i was lucky this holiday that my hair didn't turn green.
Didn't do much on Thursday hung around mainly. Oh went to the Simply market in the evening i spent 30 minutes picking pasta and i ended up going with normal spaghetti as i couldn't choose ¬_¬
The last day no one wanted to leave, we packed up the car and headed out to Verona, went to Juliettes balcony, again it was very hot, i like Verona its very very pretty.
We headed off to the Orio center after that, i won't even go into that ¬_¬
and finally to the airport.
We finally got home at about 2am i think. God i missed my bed.

Overachiever? Psht....
I hate school reports.
I don't understand why they can't send them out like 2 weeks before school starts again. I got mine today and now i'm going to feel shit for most of the summer.
In my defense i had just got stitches the week of the test and i could barely write so writing fast and for about 2 hours SUCKED!!!
Really it was quite good i mean i only failed maths and that is because i suck at it and i hate it with a firey passion.
I am one of those students who likes to get A's and B's and is quite annoyed when i don't get it. I managed pretty well couple of B's and 2 A's i think but i most annoyed about my science subjects. I LOVE Chemistry and Biology and put the most work into them, and its seriously disappointing when it doesnt show. I got a B in Biology and a C in Chemistry, (Weird don't you think?) I have the same teacher for both and she is excellent.
I'm really pissed at myself as i know i can do o much better and i am usually getting A's in both.
I think now that i have seen that i am more determined than ever to get back up there and get in the A's and if that means studying those two over the summer as well as doing my portfolio then so be it. I am NOT going to get crap results again.
Anyways thats my thoughts for now

Why must you do it?
Opinionated people.
They annoy the hell out of me.
Seriously though what is their problem? Now i'm not one to say "You can't have an opinion" I love peoples opinions, its the people that have and opinion on EVERYTHING and even things that do not concern them.
Even that doesn't annoy me as much as the opinionated people, who have an opinion on things that don't concern them, and they seem to want to argue their opinion to the point where you HAVE to believe what they believe.
Why do people do it? I will listen to your view, i may even comment, by saying i disagree, this is NOT an open invitation to lay into me as if i personally attacked you.
I respect your opinion, i may disagree, but i will not force my views onto you, so why do it to me? it is most annoying and it's as if your views are more important.
At the point when this happens i usually just shut up and let them have the last word, until they personally attack, not so much me but if you judge someone you don't even know and try to say "Well this is this and you have to believe it" i am NOT having it, i will let my views known.
You people make me sick, i have had enough of you and no more will i let you force your views on other people!!!!
I would like to make it crystal clear, i like opinionated people, it makes for interesting conversation, but its the people i have outlined above that i do not care for.

Raindbow Six Vegas 2
I HATE it.
Not the gameplay but the game.
I had to go fetch it for Adam today, which imo was pointless as hes not going to play it anyway, as he still has to pack and he's not even staying this evening so for a few hours in which he will be working here, was pointless.
I did it anyway.
Because of this i was juggling with that fucking game, my keys, phone and wallet. I ended up dropping my sunglasses on the floor and breaking them. They snapped.
They cost me €25 in Orio in Milan last year and i can't afford to pay that much on glasses again. I have no money going away this year as work fucked up my wages so i have a whole of €30.
So i'm not in a happy mood at all today.
What have i done to become karmas bitch?
Then again i suppose i over reacted, but i mean i love those glasses and i got blinded on my way home from the sun, eugh. This has been a bad bad day.
And Adam did not make it easier, he knows exactly what to say to piss me off, and no matter how much i ignore it, i can't get passed it. Things like bimbo and other such offensive derogatory words really really upset me and i can't stand it. I hate being called names, i think its a really shitty thing to do.
So anyway, i am going to calm down and scavenge cents under the couch and bed.

Our Electrician and Irish Time....
He's a bastard.
He is, it really pisses me off. This is the 6 or 7th day now that he has said "Yes i'll be there"
He's an unreliable asshole. This is where Irish people REALLY piss me off. Irish time is SHIT!
If you say you're going to be there, damn well be there. I have things to do, appointments etc, i cannot waste my time waiting for that bastard to come, so he can tell me i need such and such a part and he'll get it and come back next week.
It's stupid. The tiler and plumber are reliable, at least if they're going to be late, or not come, they will at least ring.
I wouldn't mind if he rang, i wouldn't be pissed off just a simple"Look, i'm running late, i'll be there in an hour or two"
Instead its nothing, he just won't turn up. It's awful. Anywhere else he'd be fired.
I am currently sat waiting for him to come so that i can go grocery shopping. What makes matters worse is, dad will not give me his number to call him, which i suppose is a good thing as i would more than likely start getting angry with him and ask him wtf is going on.
*Aghh*
I loath "Irish Time" with a passion. Does it make people superior to stand people up and be late? No it just makes you an asshole who thinks he's better than the rest of us.
Well that was an angry post....
i'm done for now

Cleanliness is key
I need to shower. I have to shower at least once a day or i feel disgusting. I love being clean, i keep an incredibly clean person, i cleanse my face about 7 times a day, brush my teeth at least 3 times a day, floss, etc.
The reason behind this is, no matter how much i clean, etc, i still break out with teenage skin. *Curses hormones*. At first i thought it was the amount of crap i was eating so i have cut all but a few things out of my diet. It's unavoidable. So i'm not going to worry anymore i think.
What is more annoying is, i want to go shower now before i go into town, we have 2 showers in our house, i can't use either because of the back to front bathroom and theres no lock on the other one and i don't fancy the plumber walking in on me... ¬_¬
Anyone feel like letting me borrow their shower?

P.S. My msn is a huge arse, i'm going to restart go get a few things done and see if it will work for me....
