How I did it
How to get a tattoo
It took me
1 year
It made me
inked

How I did it: I decided I wanted a tattoo of a gecko a year and a half ago when I was in Fiji but didn't want to risk getting one done there! Then I just never got round to having it done at home and didn't think I could afford. But a couple months ago my friend decided to get a tattoo too and knew someone from work who could do them cheaper than the average place. So I found a design on the internet, went and had it done! I went in expecting the pain … Read how I did it…

How to cook healthy tasty food
It took me
3 months
It made me
Healthy!

How I did it: I moved to a student house at university so had to fend for myself!I think most students partake in plenty unhealthy habits as it is, so a good diet is very important.When I have too much junk food, I feel terrible, tired, moody, bloated unable to concentrate. So I had no intention of living off take-aways and ready-meals!Luckily, my housemates were in the same boat as me. Now we cook dinner together most nights, from fresh ingredients.

How to go to fiji
It took me
3 months
It made me
blissful.

How I did it: For my gap year, I wanted to volunteer somewhere abroad so I looked into it on the internet and found Lattitude Global Volunteering, who offer placements to volunteer in Fiji.So I applied for it, had some interviews, paid the fee and off I went :).While I was there I learned some Fijian, learned some Fijian sign language, helped disabled kids pass their class 1 exams, made some best friends, went snorkling for the first time (what a place… Read how I did it…

Gym

Wow, after reading my past entries for this goal, I can definitely say I am more active now! I joined the gym in September and also joined the University Basketball team. I’m not very good at basketball haha but my energy levels are higher and I’ve started to actually enjoy exercise!

However, I feel this goal isn’t complete yet. It is after all the new year, and this morning I went to the gym for the first time in over a month and I can feel the effects of Christmas, new year and my 21st birthday unhealthiness!

So now, I’m currently incorporating the gym into my revision timetable (I have 2nd year exams this month). So I’m going to the gym at 8am (give or take half an hour) every other morning until at least Sunday 22nd January. After that, basketball starts again :) so I should have my fitness levels back up by then! After that, I’ll decide if this goal is complete yet…

volunteer in the local community
Training begins!

I’ve just been invited to start training to volunteer for the Samaritans after being successful in the selection event! Training starts 5th February and lasts the month. If they still think I’m suitable at the end of it, I start volunteering for them for at least 4 hours every fortnight, with 5 hours (I think) night shifts every 6 weeks. Sounds like hard work but it will be so worth it! :)

Also, I’ve started training for St John Ambulance. Completed the induction weekend and now waiting to find out when the course begins.

This goal is almost complete… I just need to finish training and get on duty! Exciting!

Went for a run...

...nearly died.

No, it wasn’t that bad… but I was shocked at how ridiculously difficult I found it. I think I have the stamina of a Sloth. Will try harder on Saturday.
