- NaNoWriMo (my goal is 30k, need 1,000 more words!)
- GiveThanks Challenge
- The Christmas event (more coming up!!)
- Thanksgiving
- 5k1Day x2
- Blogging
- Complete bathroom redo (post coming up *squeals*)
- Senior year
- Christmas shopping
- Keeping up with friends
- Mowing leaves up/winter prep
And, that's just things I can fit into a category! What about spray painting books, making a meal here and there, a phone call from my bestie, watching a movie with my sibs, playing basketball, taking a walk, oh, we have to go shopping, photoshoots/editing photos, commenting on blogs, and *gasp* I CANT FORGET TO CLEAN MY ROOM.
I mean, can I juggle it all? Can I somehow write 30k AND do everything else?
Yet, I don't want to compromise laughing. I don't want to lose my moments of poetry writing, and reading before bed...nor, do I want to lose my relationship with God through all of it. I've had to pick and choose what I can do without running myself into a hole - and, I have.
- I haven't written in 9 days
- I do have some school catch-up to do
- Online Christmas shopping will have to work this year
- Texting has been more sporadic..I'm sorry, friends! *frowns cuz i miss you all*
I've had to decide what was more important in a lot of situations, one of which was SARE'S AWESOME BIRTHDAY POST. #solegit Also, multitasking has become a MUST this month. lol!!
I keep on saying "I can't wait for winter...to just curl up and read." but GEESH, I think I'm kidding myself. It's not going to slow down xD And...that's okay, because, I'm learning a lot.
plus, BLOGGER CHANGED?!??! thoughts?!?
what are you learning?
what are your top priorities??
OHMYGOSH THESE PHOTOS. = Perfection.
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm just focusing on writing like crazy during these last few days of Nano, *nervously glances at messy novel* *remembers I didn't even bother to open google docs*
And agh, yes, the new Blogger is so unsettlingly strange, I'm not too upset about it though, I mean, it's still Blogger, right?
OH MY GOSH GUURRRLLL *hugs you*
DeleteLAST FEW DAYS OF NANO?!?!?!? *panics* I need to write..like bad. uhg, girl, my novel is so messy too! :P
yesssss...I guess. I just wish it would tell you when you have comments to publish :|
OMGOSH YOU BUSY GIRL! Btw, your adorable and those photos of you are GOALS! <3
ReplyDeleteThat GIF is totally relatable! My room is so incredibly messy its not even funny, and I'm also behind in school.....Once the holidays get behind us I'm probably going to be working like a crazy woman to catch up:p
Yes, blogger is so weird...when I go to blogger.com it shows all my posts instead of my feed which is odd, but I'll live XD
Love you girl! <3 Miss you like crazy!
IKR?!?! but I love it xD oh gosh, girl! *covers face*
DeleteLOL!!! I was laughing so hard when I found it. yesssssss. Basically, next week I'll be doing quite a bit. hehee
bleck. the same. I was legit working on a blogpost, then opened up a new blogger AND IT HAD CHANGED IN 5 MINS! I freaked. hahaa!!
MISS YOU MORE
EEP PICTURESSSSS <33333
ReplyDeleteyeah, I know how you feel. I've had to juggle MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY, writing, reading (sadly Ive only finished two books I started last month and gotten halfway through another ): ), school, which I'm already behind in, family life, and of course, my relationship with God.
ITS TOUGH, BUT YOU CAN DO IT :DDDD
EEEEP THANK YOU
Deleteohhhh gosh. ACROSS THE COUNTRY?! no thank you. :|
YES WE CAN DO IT ;)
Oh dear, you seam especially busy...I'm no expert, and my experience is limited, but a few ideas you could try would be to have a daily devotion, either reading a book in the Bible or buying/borrowing one. I try to read mine every morning, and even if it doesn't address the difficulties I'm going through, I appreciate the hope that it gives. Another would be to take a couple minutes each day and maybe let your mind wrap around everything you need to do that day, or that week, or even that month. Maybe even plan it out, although I know that might not happen with either of us. ;) God's really good at comforting people in their time of need....go to Him if you have any questions! Lol.
ReplyDeleteAmelia xxx
<3
yess!! I actually do have a set daily devotion I do. One is for school, which I do in the morning, and the other is, I read 1 chapter in the New Testament at night. I just work my way through the books over a period of time. xD Plus, I read the psalms... a lot.
Deletethanks for everything, Amelia <3
"okay, so I'm Julia. basically, a teen who lives life embarrassing herself. Wanna read about it? I post it all here *cringes*"
ReplyDeleteOkay but this blog description though like wow
It's surprisingly you
ONLY TEASING
maybe
surprisingly me? It's totally me.
DeleteBUT YEAH ANYWAYS *cough* I totally feel ya, November has been super busy for me also. LIKE SOMEHOW I'M 16K BEHIND IN NANO? And school and Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations/shopping and all. My juggling skills are 94% better now tho
ReplyDeleteRIGHT YEAH ANYWAYS *raises eyebrow* ikr?! 16K?! *coughs* well, you're ahead of me. Tho, my goal was 30k and I'm almost there, so I'm TECHNICALLY closer to my goal..
Delete(can you juggle 3 oranges tho?)
awww thanks!! The funniest thing.. I used to NOT like it, now it's one of my favorites lol
ReplyDeleteLife is full and busy... all the time! But I have to keep reminding myself that I'm blessed to have so much going on in my life. :D
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why everyone has to keep changing the format of everything! Let's just say I liked the old Blogger a lot better. xD
I know, right?! yessss, I feel the same. I don't want to stress out, I want to enjoy it!
Deleteuhhhhhg. SAME SO SAME :|
#relatible Will life ever slow down? Hahaha.... -_-
ReplyDelete-Eliza :)
welllllllll, it will, one day o.O
DeleteJULIA! YOU GOT THIS GIRL! YOU CAN DO IT, I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! Haha no seriously though you've got a lot going on. I just now (recently) have had time to catch up on blogs and friends for some reason this month has been busy. I love that gif! Haha perfect. I've missed your blog darling!

DeleteAmazing photos!
ReplyDeleteWow, you seem so busy!

Delete*nods*
Wow girl, you are SO busy!!!! You amaze me, you productivity queen!
ReplyDeleteI kind of casually hate the new blogger update...a lot...but then again, I'm someone who hates change in general. I'LL SURVIVE.
*laughs bc I KNOW*
Deleteohmyword yesss, I feel the same!! I hate change too :P WE'LL SURVIVE. somehow..
WOAH GIRL YES. I relate to you so so much! NOVEMBER WAS LIKE THE EPITOME OF CRAZY. Pretty sure I learned the definition of S-T-R-E-S-S. KFJDSKLFJS Like honestly, my NaNo plans kinda went down because I figured out that even though I want to write those 25k words so much, things happening in life (LIKE MOVING. AND SCHOOL. AND VIOLIN RECITAL.) had to come first. So yeah. we moved, and things haven't really slowed down since either XD (LIKE MY COMPUTER WITH MY STORY FILE ON IT ISN'T EVEN UP SO I CAN'T EVEN WRITE UGH)
ReplyDeleteBUUUUUT yes. YOU CAN DO IT!! I have faith in you :) YOU GOT THIS.
And yes! The new blogger update is not cool. I honestly don't like it at all but whatever. Like Grace Anne said I'LL SURVIVE. Truer words have never been spoken.
STRESS YES. but also a lot of fun. XD I think I've done the best with handling stress this month than I ever have before..which I'm proud of LOL! how did you move?!?!?! AND A RECITAL OMYGOSH LIKE REALLY?!
Deleteawww same girl, same. <333
IT IS NOT COOL. loll!!! Ikr? she's the best
First off #photogoals (I SERIOUSLY NEED THAT SWEATER, OKAY?!)
ReplyDeleteAND OH MY WORD, YOU ARE BUSYYYY. This month has been pretty crazy for me, too...I somehow have written 82k and finished my first novel and JUST WHAT IS HAPPENING. LET ME FLAIL FOR DAYS.
YESSSSSS SARE'S BIRTHDAY POST IS THE BEST. <3 And ew to the new blogger look...just no. :P
The relatives just left a few hours ago, but now I'm faced with a mountain of posts to catch up on because you guys all double-crossed me and did lots of stuff over the weekend. ;P I SWEAR THE INTERNET EXPLODES WHEN I LEAVE FOR MORE THAN A DAY. XD
GOSH OKAY *gives it to you* I MEAN YOU DID WRITE ALLLLLOOT so you deserve it
DeleteI KNOW I KNOW I KNNNNOWW *dies* *comes back to life to finish replying to this comment* I DONT KNOW HOW YOU WROTE SO MUCH GIRL. *flails with you*

gahhhhhhhhhh. well, honestly, I just had to post - so don't blame me XD
pictures make me jealous!!! love this post and you know that i can totally relate!!!!
ReplyDeletegahhh! girl <33 love you xD XD and yess I do hahaa
DeleteIKR? Life is so crazy right now. I haven't done the best at multitasking everything, but it's a learning experience, right? XD
ReplyDeleteYes! A learning experience is right. They're some of the hardest things to do. :P but, you grow, so it's good.
DeleteGirl, I FEEL YA. On so many levels. That's why I haven't been blogging much, because it's been on the "I just can't do everything" side of things. (I'll probably post about that soon.) But yes, we have to choose how to spend our time, and busyness isn't the enemy, discontent is. Thanks for the uplifting post!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't push out blogging, because it's my little outlet hehee! It keeps me creative, which keeps me smiling. Basically, I chose it as one of my top priorities. aww, you're welcome <33 thanks for the comment!
DeleteNOW YOU'RE STRESSING ME OUT
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I feel your struggle. This month has been crazy and I've been neglecting so much. My relationships, with both God and my friends, have been damaged and I need to work on that. I love this post and your honesty, and my new found inspiration to get my life together. Thanks ;)
OOOPS SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO lol
Deleteoh my word. uhm, don't know what to say because *scrambles to find post* I felt the same way last year..it was terrible. I had to work through a lot. This is probably really stupid to say, but I feel proud of myself this year :P (btw such an embarrassing post, but the main message is good lol http://thebarefootgal.blogspot.com/2015/01/learning-life-lessonson-christmas-break.html)
Juuuliaaa...don't say that about winter...please. It -has- to be long enough for us to rest and learn how to play new duets on the piano together!!
ReplyDeletewait *scrolls up* what did I say???
Deleteoh. hahaha
sorrryyyyyy WELL HURRY UP AND LETS LEARN
