At the moment I smoke almost a pack a day (20 pack, but still), eat heaps of junk food, sleep either too much or not enough, and dont really like my job. I dont like where I live, I'm overweight, unbearably unfit and just generally unhappy with the
So, I have a grand plan.
1) Move in with my father and his thai family after my lease runs out. Quit smoking at home because I cannot bring myself to smoke in the same household as small children. Plus, my dad will kill me if I smell like smoke all the time.
2) Save at least 600 dollars per fortnight until I have 6000 dollars in savings.
3) Interact with my new family, especially my little step-sister and half-sister. I have a little sister who's almost a year old and I've only seen her two or three times!!
4) Begin eating only what my step-mother or father provide or prepare for me. Eat only what they eat. So I'll either be eating healthy food or thai food, and I dont know how much I'm going to like thai food...
5) Cut down on Fasta Pasta!! It doesnt matter that the waiter there is ridiculously cute, it's never going to happen.
6) After xmas, apply for jobs in government, working in the city. Keep applying until I get a position, at which point I hand in my resignation to work and receive at least 2000 dollars of annual leave paid out to me (although that's before tax).
7) Keep in touch with ACE friends by any means necessary.
8) Join a new gym in the city and work out with Em after work as often as possible.
9) After working for the government for at least 3 months - at which point I should feel secure in my job - begin looking for apartments, nice ones.
10) Move out and buy my own fridge, couches, outdoor set and such with that 6000+ dollars I've saved up. Keep at least 1500 dollars as savings IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
Hopefully at this point I will have a better job, normal sleeping patterns, a less severe smoking addiction, a better diet and better fitness. I'll be living in a better place with better pay and hopefully I will be a happier person.
Let me know what you think, if you happen to read this. Any problems you foresee. Oh, and if you happen to know me and speak to me around this time next year, if I have not achieved at least half of these things, gimme a kick in the bum and tell me to get around to it.
Here's some music that I like at the moment.
And now I must leave you. I'm going to look at realestate.com.au and domain.com.au and imagine my ideal apartment....
