Monthly Goals: August

Hey guys!

So having been gone for the summer, I didn't post anything really but I'm back now and starting off with a monthly goals post! :) As usual I'll be seeing whether I accomplished my previous goals and then writing my new goals for the month down. I'll be using June's goals seeing as I missed out on July.

June's Goals:
- Post on each of my blogs at least twice a week
- Finish writing at least half of my book
- Be nice to my aunt and uncle
- Catch up on Hannibal
- Start watching Skins Just to clarify I meant Skins UK. I've finished 4 seasons and am going to start season 5 soon. :)
- Go book shopping Check out my Book Haul here!
- Read and review all my NetGalley books that I've currently downloaded
- Get some form of a tan It was barely a tan but it was still something!
- Enjoy my summer!

So I think that was somewhat eventful. I feel proud to have crossed off so many items. Granted, they weren't hard but whatever. xD Anyways, onward to August's goals!

August's Goals:
- Clean up my room
- Keep it clean all month
- Paint my room
- Create a DIY for hanging my necklaces
- Drink at least 2 cups of water a day (from my tumbler cup - 20 ounces)
- Do the 30 Day Squat Challenge
- Do the 30 Day Abs Challenge
- Read Madame Bovary
- Read and review Nikki Blue: Source of Trouble

So yea, that's it. :) Leave your goals in the comments and I'll check em out. :)

Happy Saturday #2

Hey guys!

So I'm back with another Happy Saturday! Yay! I hope I can keep this going because it's always nice acknowledging the things that make you happy. Anyways, let's get on with it.

10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week

1. Game of Thrones

I am officially caught up on Game of Thrones. WHO HERE SAW THE NEWEST EPISODE?!

2. SCHOOL'S OUT!

What time's it? Summer time! It's our vacation!

Okay, okay. I know. Old joke. Oldie but goodie? Or not. I don't know. I loved High School Musical okay?! Anyways, we had our last day of school on Thursday which is kinda depressing but it was fun.

3. Poetry Competition?

Okay, sounds boring right? It was actually really fun because our houses got really competitive with who could cheer most. Well truth is, it was only two houses. Lions and Crocodiles - I'm a Croc. And no it isn't Gryffindor and Slytherin sadly. Nope, it's Hufflepuff and Slytherin. I know, that'd be amusing as. xD But seriously, I had so much fun cheering. I didn't think cheering was fun until then.

4. Ice Cream!

So, I went out for ice cream with two of my friends and it was honestly, kinda boring, but I was just happy to have ice cream. xD

5. Girls Night

I had two of my girlfriends over, as a last night sort of thing (it was supposed to be 3 but one got sick) seeing as one is moving. :( It was really fun though. We didn't sleep. That kinda sucked for one of them seeing as she had school the next morning. xD I went to bed when she left.

6. Tea <3

So if you read my May Favorites post, you'd know that I have grown completely obsessed continued my obsession with iced tea. I've also really been loving hot tea. I just really like tea and I've had a lot of tea this week.

7. Ozone

So Ozone is this restaurant here in Sudan and I went with my friend and it was actually fun. Well, being with her was fun.

8. Cedars

Another restaurant in Sudan that I went with my friend.

9. Facetime

So I facetimed my entire American family. I haven't seen them in like 2 years you guys! Isn't that insane?! I get to see them in person soon though. <3

10. The Violet Hour

It's a book tour I'm apart of. I finished reading the book this week. You'll hear all about it when I post my post for it.

Musical Monday #17

Hey guys!

Welcome to another Musical Monday which is a weekly link-up hosted by My So-Called Chaos.

Happy Saturday #1

Hey guys!

So, I saw this on Why Girls Are Weird. Krysten usually posts on Fridays, but seeing as it's now Saturday, I decided to make mine on Saturdays. xD

10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week

1. I finished my IGCSE exams!

Woo! I'm finally done with them! They were so stressful, it's insane. So I'm done with school until next school year. The rest of the school has another week of school though. :) I love laughing at my brother about it. Also, a lot of the other people taking IGCSE have more exams due to history and music - I don't take those.

2. I got accepted into the Cleveland Institute of Art 2015 Precollege program.

I honestly thought I wouldn't get accepted but late last night I received an email saying I was accepted. I honestly cannot believe it.

3. I was autoapproved by a publisher on Netgalley.

It's the first time that I've been autoapproved on Netgalley so I just thought this was insane.

4. I skyped my uncle.

I haven't spoken to any of my relatives from the US in nearly two years now so that really lifted my spirits.

5. I got ice cream.

That's pretty self explanatory. Ice cream is life. <3

6. My friend and I binge ate at a local diner.

It was fun. We went after school and just stuffed our faces in food and cake and iced tea.

7. I finished watching season 4 of Game of Thrones

Oh my lord I love Game of Thrones so much. Like omg I can't even.

8. The amount of iced tea I had 

I may be addicted to iced tea you guys.

9. My mom's birthday

It was on the 19th so happy belated birthday again mommy! :*

10. I watched Stuck In Love again

It's my favorite movie and every time I watch it, I just get so motivated to become a writer. I just really love that movie.

Musical Monday #14

Hey guys!

Sorry for the inactivity. I've just been so busy with school. This week we have exams ugh. Anyways after that, I should be more active.

Anyways, this week's Musical Monday is Wildflower by Carly Jo Jackson. She's not one of those famous artists that you hear on the radio all the time, but she's amazing. Here's her music video. :D

Lyrics:

I’ve never felt this way before

Don’t wanna feel it anymore

I’ve got nothing left to prove

Nothing to prove to you

Getting faces on the floor

Right where you chose to close the door

Guess my luck has fallen through

But I’m a wildflower

Waiting on my sun shower

To wash away all of the pain

And give me strength

Like a daisy in a field of roses

I’m amazed that no one ever noticed

I’m a wildflower x2

One day when we get a little older you’ll say I wish I'd known her

Cuz I'm a wildflower

I’m a wildflower x2

I swear I have a heart of gold

My colours are so bright and bold

I guess this world is just too cold

Have you ever felt this way before?

The one you want

You love them more

But nothings ever sure

But I’m a wildflower

Waiting on my sun shower

To wash away all of the pain

And give me strength

Like a daisy in a field of roses

I’m amazed that no one ever noticed

I’m a wildflower x2

One day when we get a little older you’ll say I wish I'd known her

Cuz I'm a wildflower

I’m a wildflower x2

Just as I begin to fly

You make me fall but I'll survive

Like a daisy in a field of roses

I’m amazed that no one ever noticed

I’m a wildflower x2

One day when we get a little older you’ll say I wish I'd known her

Cuz I'm a wildflower

I’m a wildflower x2

I’ve never felt this way before

Don’t wanna feel it anymore

I’ve got nothing left to prove

Nothing to prove to you

What do you guys think?

Musical Monday #13

Hey guys!

It's Monday again which means it's time for Musical Monday! :) I literally just found this song today a few seconds ago. It's called No Interruption by Hoodie Allen. I'm pretty sure it's kinda old but oh well.

I also found another song called Just Impolite by Plushgun, which is also incredibly awesome but I decided to only show No Interruption. If you want feel free to go look it up. It's really nice. :)

I hope you enjoy it. :)

Lyrics:

Uh, all American.

First team b**ch.

Yeah.

I gotta fake ID and a check list.

It goes never meet a girl on Craig's List.

And never spend your money on a necklace.

3 square meals, homie gotta have breakfast.

Real shit, she be payin' for the date.

I be on my Will Smith, Enemy of State.

Keep my friends close, keep my enemies away.

And if they all repellin', uh, they so jealous.

Imma do sh*t that just piss them off

Say you never heard me it's your loss.

They bitin' on my freestlyes.

They tell me make my money

Frontin' on that weed style.

I tell 'em I be too old for it

And I gave my brother my ID.

She independent but these bitches never find me.

I hope they don't find him, though.

'Cause they be knocking on my door

Now they looking through my window.

Tell me what you really want from me,

Point blank no discussion.

Close mouth, close mouth, ow.

I give it to you no interruption.

And tell me one thing that you want me.

I promise that I won't say nothing.

Shi-shut it up, shi-shi-shut it up.

I'll give it to ya, no interruption.

In your home in your home oh.

On the phone, on the phone.

All alone, all alone, uh.

I'll give it to ya, no interruption.

In your house, in your house oh.

On the couch, on the couch.

Name the time and the place and the function.

I'll give it to you, no interruption.

Taking money I don't really give a F, man.

I got power like a mother-f*ckin' X-Man

Married to the game but I'd rather be the best man,

You be on the same sh*t all day ESPN

Brand new kicks, why you shoppin' at a Payless.

Doing it on my first take, Skippin' all the Bayless.

See me you can be me but I end up on the A list.

I'm chilling with Rihanna and the Ca-Ca-Caymans.

I'm just kidding I'm a white kid, hi kids!

Anderson Silva, I hit 'em with the high kicks.

Never been realer, you nuttin' but a side kick.

Oh you on Myspace? That use to be my sh*t.

So who's killin' the game? Who's the culprit?

I be working like I'm Anders Holmvick.

Now I gotta buncha new friends and they all rich

Got blazers, Aldridge.

Tell me what you really want from me,

Point blank no discussion.

Close mouth, close mouth, ow.

I give it to you no interruption.

And tell me one time that you want me.

I promise that I won't say nothing.

Shi-shut it up shi-shi-shut it up.

I'll give it to ya, no interruption.

In your home, in your home oh.

On the phone, on the phone.

All alone, all alone, uh.

I'll give it to ya, no interruption.

In your house, in your house oh.

On the couch, on the couch.

Name the time and the place and the function.

I'll give it to you, no interruption.

I know it's hard to give you everything you want from me,

When I'm running on empty.

(I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin')

I know it's hard to be the type of dude you wanna be,

'Cause your girlfriend wanted me.

(Where she want it though?)

Oh

In your home, in your home oh.

On the phone, on the phone.

All alone, all alone, uh.

I'll give it to ya, no interruption.

In your house, in your house oh.

On the couch, on the couch.

Name the time and the place and the function.

I'll give it to you, no interruption.

Quote of the Day #7

Hey guys!

Here's today's quote of the day. :) It's by an anonymous.

I think this quote is beautiful and so completely true. However it should say person not woman, because it also applies to men not just women. Gender equality! :P
