Hello people of the twenty first century! So far, I have really enjoyed writing these blogs for you guys, it almost is strange to be able to read about your own life. I know that it will take a while for more people to start reading my blog, so for those few of you that are reading this now, and enjoy it, I would really appreciate if you could tell you friends or fellow bloggers to come on over and have a read!
It is obvious that getting a part-time job around my age is a rite-of-passage. I have been contemplating whether to get one or not for a while now, and although I am a fan of the idea, I just can't seem to find the time. Some of you will be thinking, are you serious you have heaps of time? But honestly, I'm always busy doing other things. Just the average pile of homework I get from school everyday, and then add that to rowing training, and instrumental and theory lessons, I have a bit going on at the moment. But I guess, I do every year.
Now, I'm not going to lie, I'm not particularly the most motivated person. This can mean half an hour of homework can turn into around two hours. I know what you're thinking, why does it take you so long? Well honestly, distractions. Most of the time a friend will text me, and then it goes a bit downhill from there. I'm a third listening to music, a third text-messaging, and a third doing homework. But at the end of the day, at least it always gets done.
I then sometimes will stay after school a little while to talk to friends. Soon after this I normally then try to run. Not average running though, I look extremely stupid while running. Imagine a polar bear with ice skates on, that's what I think I look like. Although I don't have to do this, I try to because that's what I told myself will make me a better rower. Normally then I finally get to homework. So at this stage, I'm not very motivated. I trying to knock this habit, but for some reason it's stuck.
This year though, I will improve though. This is what I say when I'm typing a blog instead of doing Science. But, it's the weekend, so oh well. I've seen many around me getting part-time jobs and I'm sure it'll be my time soon. I just need to majorly manage my time and focus on the goal ahead. I just need to keep my grades up, pass my Clarinet exams, and row for my squad. Not that hard, right?
It's true what many say, about people not wanting to grow up so fast. I must admit, I'm only fourteen and I'm already starting to wish things wouldn't move so fast. But, there's not much we can do about that, just embrace it and move on.
