List 22: Things I'm Grateful For This Week [Thanksgiving Special]

So I know I kind of stopped this list for a while when things got crazy but it's Thanksgiving today (my first one!) and I thought there was no better time that to do this:

1. My family, especially because we're scattered around the world. There are members in Singapore, Australia, London, America; we've been to Hong Kong, Scotland, India... I miss my family!


2. My friends, old and new.


3. Health


4. Wealth


5. Safety


6. Comfort


7. The chance to study in America for a year


8. And I'm thankful for being alive

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving spent with family. If you didn't get to spend it with your family, I hope you spent it with friends and good company. If you don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you still had a wonderful day anyway. Be thankful everyday and any day.

Let me know what you're thankful for!

List 21: Things I'm Grateful For This Week

1. Family. Ohana.


2. Slacking around?

That's pretty much all I've been doing. Spending time with family and doing nothing. What are you grateful for this week?

List 20: Things I'm Grateful For This Week

1. Friends that matter (special shoutout goes to Michelle, Jack and Jasmine for coming to the airport).


2. Family (HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEANNE AND UNCLE ONG!)


3. My dance family.


4. Transformers: robots in disguise. Transformers 3 was pretty good. Lots of explosions and guns and running and screaming. Oh yeah.


5. MY EPIC FOUR LAYER CAKE!


6. People who are nice enough to offer their help even if I've never met them before.


7. Arriving safely in Singapore.


8. Skyping with the bestie :).

It's boiling in Singapore (to me at least) and I just want my winter back!! But I'm chilling with family before I leave on my little adventure so it's okay. What are you grateful for this week?

List 19: Things I'm Grateful For This Week

1. Family.
2. Meals and coffee with friends.
3. Maccas breakfast... yummm...
4. Spending time with the adorable Sophie.
5. Lazing around on Saturday mornings with family, having (an awesome) breakfast, watching ABC4Kids (while the actual kid was sleeping) and getting massages. Brilliant.
6. TV show marathons.

Packing and TV show marathons have taken over my life this week. I started and finished the first season of Buffy and boy, is Angel fiiiiiiiiine! I'll be going to the same college David Boreanaz went to which I'm squealing about on the inside. I'm also currently rewatching Roswell. Oh boy, do I love that show. I hardly rewatch TV series (Doctor Who, Alias and now Roswell are the only ones I've seen more than once, I think) so if I'm rewatching them, you know I do love them.
What things are you grateful for this week?

List 18: Things I'm Grateful For This Week

1. Leaving.

Let's hope what you're grateful for this week is better than mine.

List 14: Things I'm Grateful For This Week

1. The funds to buy what I want even though I don't have a job (how that is possible, I don't know).


2. UFC on free-to-air. You don't know how thankful I am for that, even though they show the fights not in order and The Ultimate Fighter is about a billion seasons behind.


3. Open Till Midnight quoting Robert Frost. My heart fell in love.


4. Doctor Who. OMFGWTFBBQ. That's all I can say.

To be perfectly honest, it's getting harder and harder to put blog posts up and keep this up each week. I'm just getting so lazy and uninspired. And now that uni's over I just want to sit around reading and stretching all day. Yeah, stretch... I miss being flexible.

That and because I'm getting ready to leave, all I can think about is my trip and the posts I'm going to do for my other blog. Okay, rant over. We'll see how this goes.

List 13: Things I'm Grateful For This Week

1. END OF SEMESTER AND NO MORE EXAMS!


2. Getting through the semester (and that horrid unit) in basically one piece.


3. New haircut! It was time for a change and I was due for a haircut anyway. My hair looks quite different to what it used to; people actually had trouble recognising me today (people being my godsister... yeah, my godsister whom I see every week). I love my hairdresser, Max. I'm still trying to get used to my new look; I still get a bit shocked when I look at my reflection :P. At least most people seem to like it... or do they...?


4. Finally getting time to read City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare.


5. DOCTOR WHO. OMGWTFBBQ! I thought The Almost People episode was alright... until the very end! LE GASP! Shock horror! I spent pretty much the last 15 to 20 minutes of the episode crying and in shock with my mouth hanging open. I was actually having trouble breathing. I am a MASSIVE and proud Whovian, if you hadn't already guessed.


6. A FANTASTIC mark on my final monologue assessment. As mentioned in List 10, I was stressing and still trying to memorise my lines 10 minutes before I performed. Despite all that, I got an 8/10 HD mark. I was SO happy when I got Jeremy's email with my mark! I had been having a tough day so when I got that result, it made everything better. I read his email and comments (on my monologue and journal) so many times because I couldn't believe the mark or feedback he had given me.

Tomorrow's a public holiday here in Perth so I hope you have a good day (and week for that matter!), whether you have it off or not. Let me know what you're grateful for!

1. The end of semester (sort of).


2. Seeing Ben Folds (and Kate Miller-Heidke) live with the best friend :). Twas such a fantastic concert.


3. Pre-departure session for exchange. Meeting other people going on exchange to different places and going through some stuff for exchange calmed me down a little.


4. Getting my assignment done and handed in juuuuuuuuuuuuust in time (like, 10 minutes before it was due)!


5. Dinner, deserts and catch ups with friends.

Serge (my academic chair) even said it was an excellent performance which made me feel warm and fuzzy :). But I performed 'Blots' by Michael Frayn from Listen to This and I think it's a great monologue. It's funny and it's a crazy character, a lot of fun to play and experiment with.
