BLOGMAS DAY 13- SECRET POSTS

(hello in Icelandic) sorry ended up not posting yesterday my Father decided to remove my laptop when I was brushing my teeth and so I never actually got round to posting it but oh well you have it now and you get two, you will probably (hopefully) get two tomorrow as well just so that I can catch up and also two on Thursday. Something very weird happened on this blog today, so I normally get 20ish views a say but today I have got 165 and I just kind of sat looking at my screen thinking who is reading my stuff. So please comment if you are reading because otherwise I get worried I may have a stalker. Anyway on to the post today and it is all the post that I started then never posted so prepare yourself for some cringe.

This one is called “As I see him Standing there”-

In year 8 (7th grade) I was having some serious friend problems which consisted of me being friends with many different people, this left me feeling insecure and not sure who to trust, so much so that when someone doesn’t  reply to my message I get panicky and worry that they hate me. I am now very attached to all of my friends who I trust, but that’s a whole other blog post about my life as a teenager. I am telling you my life story because this is when it all started. I began worrying about really stupid things and would come home from school crying.

Apparently I really hated my friends; this one is simply titled “friends”-

Friends, they support you, they talk to you, but most importantly they love you, but what if they don’t what if they don’t love you back? What if they are just there? Just another person?
aThen it hurts, hurts so much all you want to do is die, huddle up and die. Sometimes friendship just feels like a balloon, you can hold on to it for as long as you like but you have to take care of it, or it will pop and float away never to be seen again, but what happens when you’re protecting the balloon, but actually you’re only holding the string, the balloon has floated away. That’s how I feel at the moment, I always try to take care of things and find it hard to hurt anything, and if I do hurt something I will be like a broken disk stuck on saying sorry. Which is why my friendships last, or so I thought. Now I just feel like my friend has floated away and all I’m left with is the string that I’m supposed to use to try and tie everything up, fix what can’t be fixed.

***
So there are actually only two posts that I have written then never finished but I also want to give you a link to some of my favourite posts that I have written this year


Honestly I love these posts they remind me of when I wasn’t as confident and when I wasn’t the strong person that I have become. Anyway I hope you liked that throwback post.

Lots of love Tavia xxx

Bless( goodbye in icelandic) my favourite so far

BLOGMAS DAY 11- "CAMPING" IN DECEMBER

Hallå (hello in swedish) so yes, I may have disappeared, but I have been camping and doing homework so yes life goes on. Anyway it is definitely not the 11th today but I can’t just miss a day, so I will have to post two or three one day. As I was saying, I have been camping this weekend and so I thought that I would write about it.

So you all may think that camping in December is crazy but I go to scouts and they make me do all sorts of crazy stuff that makes me cold and smell of wood smoke. I am currently doing this thing called the “Dragon Camp Challenge” and we have to camp out once a month for one night, every month for 1 year, and so this month is December and that is why I am camping in December. Now when I saw camping I should really put some commas around the word “camping” as I wasn’t actually camping I was hammocking, and it wasn’t actually too bad I did also bring a tent as I wasn’t sure what was going to happen but I didn’t actually go into the tent the whole time I was there #proud. We arrived where we were camping at about 3.00 after a long and hard walk of 9km so we only had 1 hour to set up everything which just about manged to do. Then there was the fire to start because if your camping in December it is advised that you make a fire, so that was done then we played some wide games (basically big games of hide and seek and stuff). And then disaster struck and we realised that it was raining, not little feeble drizzle proper rain, and so we all got soaked, always bring many clothes when camping in wet December, I think I got though 3 different pairs of trousers, 2 jackets and 5 tops, and that wasn’t enough. Overall I had an amazing weekend as always with scouts, and I am so excited to do the next camp so I will report back to you about that also.
  
Bit of a side note here but you must may now call me a hero as I have saved a sheep (I will put some picture in) we found Billy the sheep on our walk back and being the nice people we are we saved him and I hope that her is doing very well.



So I shall see you very soon, sending you all my love xxxxxx

BLOGMAS DAY 10- CHRISTMAS DAY ROUTINE

नमस्ते (hello in Indian) How are you all? Today I have been to ballet and I have also done 30 lengths swimming, but this week is nearly over so I guess that is an upside. I’m going camping this weekend and everyone thinks I am mad to go camping in December but I am actually looking forward to it, and it’s not actually looking to cold I think it’s going to be 7°C so I will survive at least. I also have to tidy my room so that’s gonna be a bore (does anyone want a Christmas room tour?). Today I want to talk about Christmas day and what I do on Christmas day…

o   1 am- get in from midnight mass and go straight to bed
o   4-5 am: get woken up my Naomi my little sister
o   6-7 am: have to get out of bed as my sister keeps shouting at me, I then remember it’s Christmas day and get really excited
o   8 am: go back to bed, it’s far too early
o   8.01 am: release I can’t actually get back to sleep so go and examine the haul of this year’s presents
o   9 am: get banned from the living from because me and my sister won’t stop shaking all the presents
o   10 am: pick out one of the 10 outfits I will change into today
o   11 am: discover I’m hungry and so ask when breakfast will be ready, then discover it’s another two hours and so eat a mince pie instead. Also realise my family has done to church without me
o   1 pm: eventually eat brunch
o   2-4 pm: PRESENT TIME
o   4 pm: go on a walk with all of the family
o   6-8 pm: EAT
o   9 pm: play games and do other fun things which I really enjoy
o   Midnight: realise it’s all over and be very sad so I’ll pop off to bed

Hope you all enjoyed that I now really need to pop off to bed or I might die of exhaustion


अलविदा (goodbye in Indian)

BLOGMAS DAY 8- #RANDOM****

こんにちは(hello in Japanese)today has been very tiring and feel like I might fall asleep any second soon, honestly if this appears half typed its because I just want it to be the weekend, I’m having a “Urg I can’t be asked” week. My friends made me crawl under the stage in drama today, they’re all so mean to me it was dusty and I think I might have found a dead mouse. On a nicer note I got a B in my biology which is bad but a lot better than I expected. Anyway onto the post which is about (as I write this I have no idea but I’m going to have a shower and come back with a good idea).

I’m back 24 minutes later and I’ve accidently given myself a cut on my ankle, giving love to razor blades right now, not. As it turns out my shower did not help me come up with any ideas so I’m just going to give you a quite post about…

DUOLINGO- which if didn’t already know is a site aimed to help you learn languages and just generally make you appear clever. I use it to help me improve my French as it is not my strongest subject, but I do enjoy it which is what matters. Anyway back on topic; Duolingo helps you set goals and see how well you are doing with your French (I am currently 23% fluent and level 5, almost 6) so go have a look and I’m going to stop talking as I just looked up and saw that I am rambling *whoops*.

So of you go to learn a language and of I go to revise for a maths test.
さようなら(bye in Japanese)

BLOGMAS DAY 7- MY HALF TERM

Salve (hello in Latin) I have had an excellent night with scouts, we went to laser quests and I may or may not like someone that goes to explorers, but nothing is being revealed there ;).

Today I am just going to give you a quick life update, so today I did a maths test which I most defiantly failed and I have another one on Wednesday I also got a D in chemistry and probably going to get a F in my biology tomorrow, at least I got an A* in my chemistry, right? Also I think I may have developed a small crush, but not so much of a crush more of a, “shit your hot” so overall not been a good half term. However I have watched mokingjay and omfg it is just so good, everything about it so good. The acting, the cast and the actual screen play, so good. I am now mentally preparing myself for insurgent, god can’t cope with that ending kills me every time (if you don’t know what I’m talking about just go read the book). On another note I only have two weeks left of school and as much as I like seeing my friends at school G.C.S.Es are so much work, like I actually need to revise I have never properly revised in my life, oh well there’s a first for everything I suppose.

Anyway hope that you have had a good half term or semester, see y’all tomorrow.

Vale (bye in Latin)
