How I did it

How to learn tae kwon do

It took me

2 years

It made me

Time consuming

How I did it: Rang Moon Lee Tae Kwon Do, my local school, and showed up! I got to yellow belt which is about the 3rd level. It costs about $15 a lesson when I was going. The classes are warming up, and warming down and you learn moves in between. You also get taught your routine which is assessed at grading, and obviously the longer you are in the class, the more complex this becomes. At Moon Lee, the biggest philosphy about self defence is to fi… Read how I did it…

How to be a journalist

It took me

4 years

It made me

Hardened.

How I did it: I studied at the University of Queensland for 3 years, worked for free at The Courier Mail, AAP and Wangaratta Chronicle to get experience and references, and was successful. Persistence and willingness to relocate are very important. Work for free and make sure you have a portfolio. Make contact and follow things up. I am now aiming to use my experiences to work in Marketing and PR because I found the fierce competition and stress … Read how I did it…

Keep a list in the car, of why I should never drink and drive.

Untitled 11 months ago

I have been really selfish and stupid in the past and have taken this risk many, many times. I haven’t done it since my boyfriend started crying, begging me to stop doing it because he is so afraid that he would lose me to either death or jail.

This is my list:
1 Could kill or seriously injure an innocent couple just walking along after a movie;
2 Could kill or seriously injure a mum taking her baby out for a walk in the pram;
3 Could lose my licence;
4 Could end up in jail;
5 Could affect my career when people find out I have a DUI or manslaughter conviction;
6 Would mean that I could not travel overseas due to crminal conviction;
5 Lose my boyfriend and friends;

Definitely a very good idea.

Stop drinking so much (read all 8 entries…)

Fell off wagon big time 14 months ago

OK….so I really stuffed up on the weekend. On both Friday night and Saturday night I was up til 4.30-5am drinking on my own. Feel bad, really really bad as this was the very thing I have been trying to cut out.
I guess I am going to have to go back to the “STOP DRINKING” Post rather than “STOP DRINKING SO MUCH”.

I was doing so well before this :-(

Facebook is taking over my life! 14 months ago

Unless I am sleeping, it seems like I am checking facebook all day everyday! Instead of working, instead of doing assignments for uni, instead of looking up better things, its Facebook Facebook Facebook. Checking to see if anyone has new photos, tagging photos and then deciding its too gross. And its the biggest no no at work. Could so lose my new job over it :-(

Self discipline….I will only check Facebook once a day, and that is after work and uni stuff is done. From now on. Its so May 2007.

And like someone else said on here, 43 things could well be the new vice for the masses! At least it is more constructive, like keeping a journal in a sense. One day you can tally up all the stuff you wrote on here and make it into a novel! Now that’s more constructive than snooping on your friends and friends of friends that have open facebook profiles!
NO MORE FACEBOOKING 24/7.
