From Twelvy To Twenty

When I came out in the Summer

Where I live I am currently on "Summer Holidays" except that were I live it is just called holidays, the "Six week holidays" because as the name states, they go for six weeks or the "Christmas Holidays" because they run over Christmas and the new year. This holiday marks the end of the school year and usually starts in the end of January or early February. A tradition of the six weeks holidays is usually going away for the holidays or doing a heap of projects that you have been meaning to do all year, the latter is what I am doing this holidays. 

I have begun to clean out my bedroom and get rid of any clothes, books or non-essential belongings I have so that I only have the stuff that I use regularly. This process will probably take me the whole holidays because I will have to do it a few times to weed everything out but it is something that I do every Christmas holidays before school.

Another project that I am in the process of doing is making a stop-motion claymation talking about how feelings are contagious and how if someone feels sad or angry, this can have an effect on people around them but the same can happen for people who are happy. I am probably going to upload it to the Beyond Blue facebook page and see what they think because I have no reason to make this video besides the fact that I feel like making a meaningful video. I was going to do it with actual people but I would have needed it to be sunny all day, I would have needed excellent computer graphics skills and I would have needed about twenty willing participants and I don't know that many people who are actually in town over Christmas so claymation it is. 

I am also doing an extra credit class for school which is the most boring thing and that I haven't really started because reading the task sheet makes me want to cry. It is called research practices and is basically all about why people should research and the importance of doing research which is an important class but is made really boring and frustratingly and deceptively complicated. 

As well as this I am teaching myself basic Italian, teaching myself violin, taking care of a baby snake, two lizards, two dogs and a cat, putting all of my family's photos that are on discs onto my laptop and into folders, making a video for my trip to Vietnam, catching up with my friend who is home from boarding school for the holidays, doing driving lessons (I drove for the first time today, got to 60km/h and didn't crash) and working. I am afraid that I may not have time to do all of my projects this holidays :/

Remember how I told you that I applied for an exchange to Italy? I got a letter about a week ago telling me that I didn't get the scholarship but that they would like me to continue with the application and that they would contact me soon with the details of my exchange. Basically what that means is that by August next year I could possibly be on a plane travelling to Italy for five months to learn about art and music and architecture and all things Italian!!!!!!!!! I am extremely excited :D 

I made a video for a Braydon's birthday a few weeks ago that talked about all of the memories that I had made with him. Braydon and I have known each other since we were one and have been friends since transition so we are very close (I have known him longer than my sister!) but for some reason he is coupled in with my parents as a person I have been least eager to come out to. Because of this I decided that I would come out to him at the end of the video because I thought it would be good for him to know why I never went out with him even after everyone told us we should date and people started rumors that we were dating and we were about as close as two people could get without being romantically involved. Unfortunately I watched the video I made a few days later and realised that the music I had in the background got louder as I began to come out to him (a fact I hadn't noticed before) and you could barely hear me talk. I hope he knows what I meant to say :/

So that's the update for now. 

Sorry I took so long to write. 

I love you all

Stay strong

P.S Do you like the new name of my book? It was this or Dear Future Wife but I thought this might suit it better. I don't know, what do you think?
