Commitment

Today i'm going to talk a little about stuff i want to commit to.

Recently I've started training. It is something called crossfit and it is three times a week. Before i started i knew what crossfit was, because i'd tried it before a couple of times. I knew it was going to be hard work, but it was so much worse than i remembered it. I tried it with my P.E. class in school where we did one and a half full hours, i think. Yes it was tough and i was beaten up afterwards, but i kinda liked being pushed to the edge. The second and third time i tried it, my mom had dragged me with her around Christmas. There was a lot more running in this kind of crossfit but it was what i needed, because I've always hated that i cant run very far before my legs start giving up on me.

So this time around i started at the same team i tried out this Christmas - almost a year ago and about 6 months after my last workout. In the time i wasn't working out, they got another trainer to get some variation in the way we workout. One of the trainers likes running a lot (NOT my cup of tea!) and the other likes to do a lot of exercises (Better, but still really tough!). Oddly enough i like the one who likes to run. She lets me off a bit, so i don't have to do as many reps of the exercise as the ones who have been training for longer time. The reason for this is to prevent injuries - you can't really just throw yourself out there and just go at it if your muscles aren't used to it!

I've been going for a week now and my body is aching all over! You really don't know what you use your muscles for before they are hurting with every little movement. I'm gonna commit to this kind of workout and there is nothing called "I don't want to go." I'm going unless it is cancelled or if i'm sick. I need to do this. Not because i want to drop a lot of weight, but i want to get more trimmed. My drive and kinda the reason why i'm doing this, is because i was surprised about the fact that I've put on 3 kilograms since i stopped school. Now, this might not sound healthy or a reason to want to loose weight, but I've always been one of those people who could not put on weight, no matter how hard i tried. I've always been underweight with a BMI on 18 or 19, but now my BMI is 20,66 which means that i have a normal weight. It's not like i want to be underweight, i just felt better and feel i looked better when i was a little lighter. I can definitely see the the kilos on my body, but it is probably because i know that it is there and that it annoys me, so it is the only thing i focus on when i look at myself in the mirror. 

But i'm going to keep going until my body looks the way i want it to, or until i don't have the time because of studies or a job. 

Another thing i am gonna get committed to, is writing applications. I am on a job hunt right now, the only thing holding me back is the fact that i don't want to write applications. And that is a pretty big problem! You can't really get a job without applying for them. So that is definitely something i need to do.

A last thing i'm gonna commit to, is my blog. I want to post twice a month at least. It shouldn't be that hard but sometimes i just don't feel like sitting down and writing a whole lot. But i'm gonna do it! There is probably something to talk about and if not, i'll have to find something. 

My life and my piercing..?

Yet again i haven't been blogging.. A lot of things has been going on in my life, working on Lolland and having all of your social life back at home. It's been pretty difficult for me and at the same time a life lesson.
Even just thinking about all of the things i have experienced can bring me to tears, that's how overwhelming it has been..  The thing is, when you have a lot of people you care about at home and you are about 160 km away, it is hard not feeling like you miss a lot. And i would lie if i said that there hasn't been days where i didn't want to be here. It's been an emotional roller coaster and it is all done in about a week. Next Wednesday is the day where i pack up all of my stuff down here and head home for good.

Then you might ask, well what are you going to do at home? Get a job? Start applying for whatever i'd like to study?.. The answer is: I don't know. Simple as that. I'll probably start applying for a job, any job that i can get really. I'm not being picky right now, i just need some money.. Hopefully i will be able to get some more free time and be able to see all of my friends when ever i want. 

One thing i know for sure is going to happen when i get home is, that i will join a gym.  I need something to spend my time on, instead of just lying around, doing nothing while trying to get a job. I've already set somewhat of a goal. I want to get down to the weight i had a couple of years ago. It's not because i think i'm fat - i know that i am not. But over the last two years, I've gained 6 kilos. Some of it has been 'good weight' - the kind of weight that has given me some curves, but i would like to tighten everything up and drop around 4 kilos if i can. The thing is, i also want to build some muscles and then you can't really drop kilos, because muscles weighs more than fat. I know that i am not even above 60 kilos right now, but i want to get down to 55-54 kilos. Just because i loved how i looked when i weight that. I still love my body, but i would love it a little more, if it weight a little less. So when i'm done here, i'm gonna buy some small weights and maybe some protein powder to get my workout started. The weights is for workouts at home for the days i want to work out, but not go to the gym. I wanna try to go 2-3 times a week and it doesn't matter what time a day i'm going. I will follow up on this on the blog and update how my workout and goal is coming. 

Now for something else! I'm going to tell you guys about my piercing experience!
As some of you know, i got a tragus piercing after my math exam.
Right after getting my grade in school, Iben and i took a train to Copenhagen train station. We were a bit early, so we walked down to the shop called Gorlubb Piercing and stood outside it for a couple of minutes before continuing down the road to some shops where we looked at some shoes until 10 minutes before our appointment. Once again we stopped outside the shop, Iben had a cigarette while i put up my hair, and then we went in.

Right when you walk in, you come into this little store with a lot of show windows full of jewelry for piercings. We sat down across from the pay desk at a little table where i got some papers to fill about allergies, health and such stuff. After filling it out i had to pick the jewelry that should go in my ear, i picked a 1.6 mm bar in chrome steel (i think) and which ear to put the piercing in. After that, i met the piercer, Sakko, and we got shown into a small room where the piercing was going to happen. I sat down in the big chair in casually and then he told me where he thought my piercing would look the best. After that he talked me through how it was going to go down. We talked a little bit more before he counted to 3 while i tried to breathe as calmly as i could. We had arranged for him to count down, so i knew when the needle came. When he reached 3, he poke the needle in my ear and yes, it did hurt. Then he told me to keep breathing while he pushed the needle all the way through my ear. This was when i had a bit of difficulty breathing calmly. He did it and put in the jewelry and then started wiping off the blood and then we talked a little bit more. He told me how to take care of my piercing and i also got it in writing so i wouldn't forget. Then i payed and we went to get something to eat.

That is about 4 and a half months ago now. I am really happy that i got it done, i have no regrets!

This is how it looked when i got home: 

It has a little blood around it and i stuck our from my face to allow the ear to swallow if it needed to. 

Now it looks like this: 

It is in my left ear, just to be clear and now it has a silver jewelry with a clear stone in.

I am really satisfied with the piercing and really happy that i got it and i can only recommend Gorlubb piercings! 

Vacation and other stuff!

I am very much aware of the fact that i haven't been blogging.
The thing is.. I just haven't had the time..
Yes I've been on vacation and yes i could probably have blogged there, but i didn't. I just didn't feel like sitting in front a computer all night for a blog post.

I can tell you what i have been doing, if you want me to?
I graduated from school and the week after that, there was a lot of parties and fun. Then i came down, where i am now, to work for a little week and after that i went to Langelandsfestivalen. It was great, even though the music didn't really come first. There was quite a few artist i wanted to see, but didn't because of the weather. Not because it was raining or too cold, but because it was too hot to stand in the sun and when your energy have been drained all day by the sun, one of the last things you want to do is standing up for an hour or two. I was also sick for two days and there my energy was even more drained. I slept the whole day, didn't really eat and only moved outside my tent if i had to go to the toilet. Everyone at my camp was really nice and helpful, asking if i wanted something to eat or if i wanted to lay outside in the shade, they were taking really good care of me.
When we got home, which was one long trip!, I spend the night at Simon's and the next day was my birthday. So at night my grandparents and I drove in to my sisters apartment and ate dinner and the next day, we were off to Spain. We spend almost two weeks in Barcelona going around the city and watching everything that had to be watched. I think i'm done with Barcelona for a while.. unless it is on a shopping vacation and in that case, i need to make some more money!
After we got home, i had about 2 days before i was going to Lolland, more precisely, Nysted, to work for my godmother. That was about a month ago and I've been every now and again taking the train back and forth if i had to do anything at home, like a party or a birthday or something like that.

Since my last blog, my addiction has moved from The Vampire Diaries to Two Broke Girls. I'm actually waiting for a new season on that, on Awkward. and on Pretty Little Liars, so maybe i should get back to watching The Vampire Diaries? I mean, I am only 2 seasons in that and I know for a fact that there is a lot more! I've also come across a problem i haven't really had before. I don't have enough internet on my iphone. 2GB is enough when you are going to facebook and so on, using your 3G like that, but for watching series and films on youtube, it is definitively not enough. Maybe it's because it's the only thing I've got to watch down here. There is no working TV, no Wifi and almost no signal.. Great.. so for the last two month i have bought 6 and 10 extra GB just because i ran out. It's really not that expensive, but 2GB on 40 days is not enough for me anymore..

I am actually at work right now, but there is no one on the streets and therefore no customers.. Really boring! Because when there is no customers, we have to clean... and I'm not a fan of cleaning.. So right now i am waiting on my godmother to get back from a meeting so i can get home to little Ganløse and have some real fun!

Busy, busy, busy!

Sorry that i haven't been blogging. I've just been so busy lately. All i do right now is study for my finals and it is getting pretty boring..!

There is about 4 days until i'm done and i can't wait! I am sick of reading all of this stuff that i am probably never going to use again, but it might help on my finals.

I am happy to say that i am going to graduate and get my hat, but it has been a journey to get here. During the last three years i have had the greatest time of my life and made some really good friends. Hopefully we'll keep the contact even though some of them are going to uni. 

For the last couple of weeks i have been going to finals. The written exams were okay but in the lower end of the scale. The others have been pretty good and i am pleased with the results. Now my final exam is this Monday and it is in religion. I don't really know how to prepare but i'm trying. I am the first to go to this exam and the first to get my hat, but it is kinda nerve racking. I have no idea how this exam is going to run and when you are the first one, it can go so wrong or so right. Hopefully it will go just fine.

Even though I've been studying for my exams, I've also done some other things. I've been out with Mette and Iben to finally get the sushi I've wanted for so long, I've gotten a tragus piercing, I've been to the beach with my friends, I've been to Buresø with Iben, I've been to Ballerup with Iben.. I've been doing quite a few things actually and my summer is pretty booked as well. 

Monday i'm getting my hat, but i am staying on the school to see my classmates get their hat too. Also i have some packages i need to get at the post office and that evening, we have family and friends coming over to celebrate me graduating. Friday is the day for graduation on the school and the day I've been looking forward to since prom. We are going on our truck ride. It is going to be wild. My entire class are going to have a party in a truck where we are driving from one students house to the next. It is just going to be awesome! And after the party bus ride we had at prom, my expectations are high. Then comes the parties. I am invited to 6 graduation parties and i am throwing one myself, but mine is mixed with my birthday. I believe that the girls and i are going to hit some clubs to celebrate as well, but you never know.

Hopefully there isn't going to be any parties while i am on Lolland. Just because i don't want to miss anything, but i also need the money that i am going to make. I promised my godmother to come down between the 8th and the 12th. Then i have a few days at home before going to Langelandsfestivalen for about two weeks. The girls and i will be down there fro the 16th and we will go home the 28th. The 29th is my birthday and i am home alone.. But I've made plans with my grandparents so i don't have to sit home alone. The 30th  i am going to Barcelona with my sister and her boyfriend and when we get there, our parents will come get us at the airport. We are going to stay there until the 10th and then i am probably going to Lolland again before either starting a job or start looking for a job. I already feel kinda stressed out about all of my plans. 

That was all for this time! I better get back to my reading.. -.-'

My Week, Finals, Graduation and Mybeautybox

Finally i have some time to sit down and actually write a blog post.

This Tuesday was my last day of school and because of that we had a great time, with breakfast in school, fought with water, played football against the teacher, dressed up in costumes and partied all night. The students actually won against the teachers and sadly, my iphone got water on it so it kind of has a water damage now..
We slept in tents on the school grounds, but it rained and we were 3 persons in a tent for 2 so the rain kinda went right through the tent... We were told our finals Wednesday morning at 8:45 and i apparently drew the short straw, because i have not one, but two math exams and i, if you don't know, hate this kind of math, so that is great.. My last exam is religion and i'm quite pleased with that :) I am officially done with school the 24th at 9:18, where i am done with my last exam and on the 28th there is graduation and then there is the truck ride around to all of our parents and it is going to be wild!

I had my first exam this Friday, it was danish exam and i felt like it went okay :) after the exam i went down and bought some snacks, for the party the entire class was invited to, and picked up a package. It was in my teachers apartment and it was really cozy and fun, but i went home at 00:30 because i just felt too tired to stay anymore.  Even though i went home early, i had a great evening and i actually ended up being grill master. I was so good! It was delicious!

Before going to the party, i opened the package that i had gotten and it was MyBeautyBox! It is always a surprise what you get in those.

 I got a Sally Hansen nail polish with a crackle effect in Ink Splatter, a Astor VIP 3 tone blush in the color 003 - brown, a W7 mascara  called Show Stopper in blackest black and a Sinful Colors Extra Shiny Lipgloss in 2280 Virginia Beach. All full size products with a total value of 290 kr for the prize of 129 kr. It was okay, but i was more impressed with my last box. This box' theme was Fun and Flirty Beauty.

The nailpolish is great. I already know, and i haven't even tried it on my nails yet. I have a nailpolish in the same style from OPI, but it was really expensive and it has already gotten thick. This one is only half the price and i know and love the Sally Hansen polishes.

Here it is over some white nailpolish. 

The 3 tone blush is not something i am impressed with. It has a brown/orange color and it is just not something i would use as a blush. I can probably make it work at a bronzer, but not as a blush. I am more into the pink and peach shades when it comes to blushes.It is also very shimmery and it is just not that good. It feels smooth and silky, but i am not into the color of it. Hopefully i can make this work for me, because if not it is just a waste..

Here the blush is. It is more orange in real life though

The mascara is another thing that i am not that impressed about. When i go out looking for a new mascara, i look for the most volumizing mascara because i already have the length and the curve. This mascara is a fiber mascara, which should attach to the lashes, making them longer and fuller. For me, it gives more length than volume and it is sadly not what i am searching, but i think it could work if you layer it with some other mascaras. Is has a flat cone shaped brush and i am not really into it.

A picture of the brush and my eyes with and without the mascara. 

The last thing was the lipgloss. It has a nice pink color, but it is also very pigmented and i didn't really expect that. It has a vanilla scent which isn't very pleasant and it is kind of sticky. I am not really into it, right now, but maybe i can make this one work also. I don't know yet. Maybe if i only wear a thin coat?

 Here is a swatch and the lipgloss on my lips. 

All in all this box was kind of a miss for me. The only thing i really liked was the nailpolish but let's just see if i like the others in some time.

Yesterday i spend with Simon. It has been so long since we were together, just the two of us and yesterday we both had time, finally. We didn't really do that much, but i really enjoy spending time with him. 

Today has been a day where i have been relaxing before the reading begins. I have to study before going to the exam on Wednesday so i can do just a little bit better than the tests we have made.
