Starting the 8th July, I’m taking a 10 (?) week course on beginners conversational Arabic. I’m excited! There isn’t any pressure, or deadlines, it’s just as fast (or more likely; how slow) the class learns collectively.

How I did it: I had a rough time in senior high school, I had a bunch of auto-immune problems and fell too far behind to really excel in my subjects. I was at a selective high school for gifted and talented, so the bar was set high in academics and creative subjects. I took a couple of steps back, and made a list of everything I could do to rectify and improve my grades - from breaking down my course load (I did year 12 over two years, though an option… Read how I did it…
I didn’t get an offer this semester, because my results from the previous semester weren’t in and therefore I didn’t have enough units to qualify for application. Epic cut. Out of no fault of my own, I missed out. It sucks too; that I worked so hard the last 1.5 years to get into a position to apply, and still got knocked back.
I’m pretty cut; but life is knock backs. It is. Anyone who says it isn’t obviously hasn’t lived.
I have re-opened this goal after almost 2.5 years, because I’m interesting in acting once again. YAY! I’m currently a member of a theatre, which means I can audition for the productions they put on. I’m not going to set myself any immediate goals, or create any pressure, I’m just going to say this: one day I will get into a drama company production. And every day I feel positive about this, is another good day.
