Speaker Geeks! discussion

Ooh New Years Resolutions let me see.

-Go running every Saturday and either Monday or Wednesday, plus go to the gym twice a week.
-Work hard and get decent A2 grades. (this will probably involve me locking all my tech away until the exams are done)
-Complete my Gold DofE
-See my best friend (who I haven't seen in over a year)
-Sort my lovelife out.

This I may have combined with my New years wishlist

-Keep my grades up
-Work my butt off for 4n6
-Grow my hair out a bit
-Become accustomed with/learn a new language (French maybe? It sounds so AWESOME!)

-focus more on schoolwork (this one hasn't been working out so far. I mean, right now I'm on GR.)
-sleep before 11pm every night
-exercise once every two days
-share more of my writing, as well as write more often

She means forensics.

Lia--yeah, I probably should have thought of that. I was just begging the weatherpeople would be correct and school would be cancelled today (it was!) I had about a month to write an essay and I did the whole thing a day before starting at 8PM, and didn't do any of the rest of my hw/studying. Thank you, weather.
That's cool about your writing. What kind of stuff do you write? :) I just got over my fear of showing anyone my work, and since then my writing has somehow gotten a lot better.

H99--ahh, that sucks ha ha. When I was around 4-5, I suffered from a bowl haircut (thick bangs, short, thick hair) that apparently many young Chinese girls have. I would love to have short hair now though--I just can't find someone to cut it the way I like.

That's great! I'm also planning to get in shape after all the pigging out I did last Christmas. :)"

DofE, its short for Duke of Edinburgh its an award. There are three levels, bronze silver and Gold.
You do an expedition walking biking canoeing horse-riding, between 2-4 days depending on the level.
Then you have to do volunteering, a skill (I did music) and recreation (which is usually sport). You do these for about 3-12 months dependent on the level. Gold also requires you to do a Residential, which is 5 days away from home doing a shared activity.

It is seen as very good on C.V's. Plus you get to go to a Royal palace on completion of Gold.

That sounds so cool :D

I always get days off on Mondays--three day weekends :) Well let's hope..."

I had something similar to this. The other day I was going to get my haircut, it was long enough to annoy me so I wanted it cut. Loads of my friends kept on telling me what to get. So I get what I wanted "short back and sides" and then people kept on saying how it annoyed them, luckily they eventually came around and said Its really nice.

That's funny cause I just got my hair cropped short. My brother is pleased and he thinks it looks good. Except for the back, which he think looks masculine. Anyhoo, how long is your hair now..."

It's a couple inches past shoulder length, and I don't want it ridiculously long, just maybe mid-backish or a little shorter. I don't know.

Yup! It'll eventually get so heavy that all curliness will be pulled out, it'll look weird, and I'll know I've gone TOO far! :D
