This update
on the Day Zero Project is a bit late, I said I was going to have one every
three months, but nonetheless it is here a month later. A lot has happened
since my last update, but you might have already read it in some previous
posts. I got a few more goals achieved and those I will share with you right
now.
Write a
letter to myself to be opened when the 1001 days are over:
Finally, I made some time to write this letter and now the only thing I need to
do is to find an envelope to keep it in until I’m aloud to read it again.
Start a
study in September:
Perhaps you now that this wasn’t exactly a piece of cake, quite the contrary.
To make a long story short, my first attempt to start a study (journalism) has
failed which left me a bit down and confused, but I got back up and now I
started a writing course/self-study. Saturday the 20th of September
was the first time I went, I was very poorly of all the nerves (I was sick the
entire week because of it, but once I was in it wasn’t that bad and definitely
a place I could learn a lot of useful things (still very scary though). I’m
quite proud I took this step, because it fits me a lot better. Full story here.
Share some
writing I’ve made
In my last update I told you I was about to do so and now I have. If you are
curious what I’m talking about, you can read my story here.
Give my
blog a new layout
Have you noticed something different? Yes, well, I hope so. I worked very hard
on this. I know this might not be perfect, but for someone who isn’t quite good
with technology and making a site look pretty I think it turned out good. And I
can’t help feeling a little proud of myself.
Swim in the
sea with Luna
For anyone who didn’t know, Luna is my dog. It wasn’t really the biggest
success as we thought it would since she loves water and to swim in it. But she
thought the waves were a bit frightening and it bothered her we were in the
water with only our heads to see, it all made her a bit nervous and extremely
happy when we got safely out of the water.
Go to the
zoo
Another thing I’ve done during my vacation. We went to the zoo in Amsterdam,
Artis. We had a lovely time even though I was disappointed with the size of the
cages the animals were in. I know I’m not an expert on this, but I thought they
seemed very small.
Bake 5
different muffins
Now I’m on three muffins, my latest addition is one I shared here and
it’s a chocolate chip muffin, very yummy.
Read 100
books
I only got to 6, which means I haven’t read that much lately, only three books,
but it’s still better than nothing right?
Diamond Star Halo by Tiffany Murray
This book I picked up in the sales when I spent my day in Zwolle and it wasn’t
just a splurge, because I enjoyed reading the book and entering its world.
F*ck I’m in my twenties by Emma Koening
I got this book for my twentieth birthday, to perhaps prepare myself for what
is to come. (I really liked flicking through and reading all the fun things
that are inside. It’s grade for when you’re bored or waiting for something to
get ready and have nothing else to do, although you might finish it before you actually
need too because it’s great and very hard to leave it for another time. I
finished the in only a couple of hours, because I kept reaching for it.
Flowers in the attic by Virginia Andrews
A very disturbing and a bit depressing book, which my mom once recommended to
me since the age 12 I believe. I finally got around it and gave it a try. It’s
one of those books you get sucked in easily, even if you get a bit tired with
all what goes wrong, at least for me. But it’s not a book you should expect
from to get you in a good mood, because it isn’t the happiest story ever told.
