Trip Coming Up

Hey Guys,

So school is about to end this week and my mum and I are planning to go away up to the Great Barrier reef sorta area. Its been really confusing because there have been many recent cyclones in the area and mum wasn't sure whether it would be safe to go up there. I understand her precautions but now I am just as worried. As it stands, we are going away for a week before the rest of the family joins us as my school finishes a week earlier than my brothers.

So the plane trip is supposed to be

3 hours, 23 minutes 

which seems like quite a while for a domestic flight!!
recently I got into Pretty Little Liars and I now have all of season 2 on my laptop to watch on the trip as there will be no wifi there :( 

If anyone reading can give some advice as to what to bring with me and how to pass the week of staying with mum in potentially wet weather please let me know!! I am really looking forward to the trip but I can sense that it will be very boring if the weather is not desirable!

So please let me know if you have ever been in a similar situation or have any advice for me, I would love to hear!!

Hey Everyone :)

Hey there, I am new here and if there ever is someone who actually reads this, Please let me know!!

Boredom created this account.. I could say I enjoy writing, technology (all the normal stuff) and I thought this would be fun to start. If I were to give this blog a 'theme', it would probably be venting and blah. I recently read Girl Online by Zoe Sugg. I love Zoella, she is a real inspiration but I can't say I fully enjoyed her book. The story line was cute and light, it very closely reflected many of her own characteristics and I found it interesting to see how she might view her own life, through the book.

When it was released, all my friends said it was crap, not worth reading-becuase she didn't even write the book herself. I have got to say that I would agree to some extent, although I got quite a bit out of it.

Her characters view on anxiety really interested me. I know a few people who have recently shared with me more about their anxiety but reading her book really gave me more depth into the real life struggles that are a part of 'having anxiety'. I never really fully understood how much of an impact anxiety can have on someones life and what its like to go through a panic attack. I personally could relate to some of the parts of anxiety that were explained in the book. Mainly, the overall feeling of being stuck and not being able to ever see the positives in life is very relatable. Recently I have been having these times quite frequently. The more it happens the more worried I get that it may be something serious but I also understand that it is a lot to do with not being around people and the reality and letting yourself be fully engulfed by the grief of something that really isn't much of a big deal, its just in your head.

On another topic, I was given a reloadable gift card for my birthday last year and I still had $40 on it. So I attempted to buy a new iPhone case off eBay. I chose one after doing plenty of research, persuading my parents etc. It was supposed to come exactly 7 days after it was shipped and when the 10th day came and I hadn't received any news of what was happening, I contacted the seller to try to get some reassurance about when the case would arrive. Basically after many messages, the seller couldn't give me any proof that the package had been posted, so I asked for a refund. I think that the package may have actually have been posted but my mum kept telling me that it wouldn't have been so I had to get a refund. I bought a similar phone case on eBay again and guess what? the seller contacted me saying she was having some issues with finding the correct colour so I had to choose another colour. This sucks because my record with eBay has been very positive until now and so I have my fingers crossed that it might actually arrive one day :)

I am looking forward to whether anyone reads this post, I hope that you can relate and maybe even give some advice to me regarding eBay :) looking forward to my next post xCheesyx
