A boring week

One of my goals for a long time now has been to get a part time job so I can buy things with my own money. The three major purchases I’ve made so far, paid for using at least most of the money I got from my first (temporary) job, were my camera, an art book, and hosting for this very website.

Photography is a hobby I picked up fairly recently, and I’ve been loving it, I take my camera with me everywhere and it enhances every experience I have outside. It made me actually like going out, as someone who used to find it pointless and boring. But now that it’s winter (Australian winter, as in grey skies, rain, and a little bit of sun), there aren’t as many nice things to take pictures of, and I haven’t been out much, at least anywhere further than walking distance.

Since turning 16, I was set on starting work before 2025, but due to busyness, some off experiences, and maybe a little bit of pickiness, that hasn’t happened yet. It has been creating some stress for me for a while now, so I think I have a decision to make between continuing to worry about the future or see what I can do day by day. I’ll update when that decision has been made and why!

It has now been a week since I published this site, without any new blog posts. I’m still trying to get a feel for what I want to do with it, what kind of style my blog posts should be in, how frequently to post them, and what topics they should cover, or which photos are worthy to add to my gallery, or even what my “about me” will be. So the site, especially this blog, will probably be a mess for a while until I get the hang of everything.

Today, I’m getting a new desk, and a thick rug to replace my thin purple one, since the house we’ve just moved into doesn’t have carpets. Having a real place to work other than my bed will hopefully motivate me to do stuff. The main problem is figuring out what that “stuff” is going to be. Right now, my comfort task seems to be learning French. We’re going to Paris in a few months, so I want to reach at least an intermediate level before then. I may make a separate post on how I’m doing that. 

Overall, nothing too exciting physically has been happening in the past few days, unless we’re talking about this big boy who is ALWAYS active:

I should make a separate post for him as well. But this is getting pretty long already, and I don’t want to reveal everything all in one post. So I’ll see you in the next one, which hopefully won’t be a week apart. See you soon!
