does he know not to talk about your dad

Morning. It's stopped snowing for a second. "Praksis" feels like it's going by so fast. Next week will be my third, and it'll only be five weeks left. I've chosen a primary patient, and she was very positive about it. Had a long walk and talk with her, which was very nice. It brings me back to what I wrote about making people happy-- the feeling making someone smile a genuine smile that reaches their eyes, it's really good. Someone you know doesn't smile that much. When I got home yesterday, I finished reading a fan fiction I'd started on in the morning, whilst eating my breakfast. It made me cry, which was a bit surprising. My head felt a bit heavy, so I decided to paint my nails A luxury for the weekends, as I need to remove it on Monday for hygienic reasons. A proper down with being a nurse-- to not be able to wear nail varnish when you want. I went to bed at approximately 10:00 pm, after that stretching guide by Shawn Johnson. I know it by heart now, which is why it's so relaxing to me. Maybe I'm taking the sleep thing too seriously, however, sleep is actually vital. And you don't appreciate a proper night of sleep before you've experienced the opposite. I am so grateful I don't actually have proper problems with sleep. Imagine waking up everyday, after sleeping for a proper amount of time, but never feeling well rested. Imagine trying to chase that feeling. Terrible, I say. Anyway, I awoke at 7:00 am this morning, which is far to early for a Saturday morning, some people would say. But when you go to bed at 10:00 pm, it's not that early. I did a bit of relaxing yoga, before I went down to eat my breakfast and read up on some curriculum. Does it sound like I'm doing a lot of exercise lately? I'm not really. At 9:00 am, I could hear my parents waking up, probably seeing my bedroom door open and my absence. I listened amusedly to my parents, standing in the bathroom, chatting about where I could possibly be. When my mum finally went down the stairs, and walked inside the living room, she spotted me. Asked me what I was doing up that early, and told me she thought I'd gone to school or summat. My dad did the same, and I was just sat there with a smug grin. Ha, the story of my life. Which reminds me, I was listening to my music on the bus yesterday, and then I just distinctly heard something that sounded like Zayn's verse in Story Of My Life, also my favourite part: "Cause baby running after you, is like chasing the clouds", and I paused my own music, listening intently to the music which was playing in the bus. And after a few seconds, my suspicions were confirmed. I somehow always get surprised when I hear One Direction music out in public. But yes, made me smile on the bus trip back to the bus station. And yes, in 1D related news, they are releasing a new video for Midnight Memories, which is their new single. The pictures from it really makes me wonder what the plot is all about. I suspect it'll be entertaining as always. Let's talk about music. I don't know if I ever mentioned Keaton Henson on my blog, due to the playlist I made for Kiwi for Christmas. I kept a lot of music secret for myself, which was bloody hard as I usually write about it on my blog. But I couldn't do that, as Kiwi reads my blog. But yes, Keaton Henson-- I heard Sweetheart What Have You Done To Us whilst listening to a playlist on 8tracks, and it made me stop whatever I was doing, just so I could listen to it properly. Within the first few seconds of watching the music video, I fell in love with his sincerity in his voice, face and lyrics. And it made me want to listen to all of his music. And so I did, and I fell in love with his sad and morose songs, because I have love sad and morose songs. And his lyrics are so great, which obviously makes me fall for songs even worse. You should know that by now. I have no doubt that his music is not for everyone. Anyway, I've been quite productive the last week, and I feel like working on my new paper-- like, I actually want to. And I want to read. Which is all very great, and makes me happy. I'm going to watch a vlog now. A vlog I postponed for today, because I wanted to stretch that joy of a new vlog. But first I'm going to get myself a cuppa and some chocolate. Because it's chocolate Saturday, yay. Anyway, for those of you who are awake: have a nice Saturday x.

does he know where your lips begin

Hiya! I celebrated the New Years Eve at Marble's, which I also did 2012/2013. It was lovely! Marble made a fantastic meal consisting of things I cannot pronounce properly. She's a great hostess, and she always manages to make the most exquisite things, whatever it may be. I had two helpings, and then she'd made pavlova, which was gorgeous. I actually think I had four pieces of that, yep. I don't consider myself a big cake fan, however, if you present me with a cake I do like, I'll eat like a champ. Whilst deciding whether to hit the town or not, there were a few drinking games. And because I've actually not been drinking much alcohol during the holiday, I felt the alcohol in each drop. But then again, we did have a bit of aquavit which contains about 40% alcohol by volume. We ended up staying at Marble's instead of going out, much to Marble's dismay. Poor her, none of us wanted to take the trip into town. But in the end I think she (or all of us) realised it was the better choice, as we all seemed to be quite exhausted. Obviously, Marble and Ale had been preparing the food and everything. Kiwi had been travelling from home. And I had been shopping. Ha, I had six hours of sleep, because we were supposed to do an early shopping trip. We didn't go to my local mall, but another. Which was great, because there were a lot less people. Also, rather than following the whole entourage, I went a bit off by myself. So this time, after being at the mall a hundred times after Christmas, I actually bought myself something. I ended up with two jumpers-- I did want to get this skirt I was looking at. But there were just something keeping me from loving it. And apparently I've turned all sensible (said no to a McDonalds meal twice this holiday, and apart from New Years Eve, I've not had much alcohol), and when in doubt (with shopping), I don't buy it. I also tried on this camel coloured coat. I've been wanting one, because I just find them elegant. And whilst watching Christmas vlogs, one of the people I watch was wearing one, and it just looked to bloody nice. Albeit he's a guy, and he's loads taller than me. Anyway, after the meal and drinking games, we had a go on a board game, which no one won, as the questions were far too hard. And then we played a game that I suck at, as Kiwi nicely said to Ale. And as per usual, I placed last. Nevertheless, it's always a fun game to play, as it's interesting to see what your brain can come up with. We all had a bit of tea before we watched a film before bed. We felt asleep at 5:00 am, and then we woke up at 11:00 am. So again, six hours of sleep. Except the evening before was quite tiring. So I've been quite knackered all day. I walked home from Marble today, which takes me about half an hour (or less, depending of my pace). I did say yesterday, that one of our resolutions should be to be healthier. Not necessarily to drop certain unhealthy things and go in full exercise-modus. But simple things like taking the stairs rather than the elevator, and likewise. And it was still fresh in my memory when I awoke today, hence my walk home. Also, I feel like I've not walked around in ages, like we've just been driving to the mall everyday, rather than walking despite the short distance. It was rather refreshing to walk home, and I was listening to Adele and pondering about thoughts and praying that Scott, one of Lynx's dogs, will be found. The latter has been gone for about two days, and he's so tiny and fragile. And it's so strange to think about how a little dog like him can take up so much space in your heart. I literally can't think about it too much, because I'll start crying. It must be so strange for my sister and her family and the other dog. I can just imagine David yelling their names, and that one is missing. Right, I'll have to stop writing, or well, tears will be spilling down my face. When I got home, I sat down in the sofa and chilled for a bit, before I finally started cleaning, and bringing my things from the basement back to my bedroom. I've been sleeping in the basement for twelve days, so it's nice to have my bedroom back. When I finally was done cleaning, I ate leftovers from yesterdays festivities at home. Also helped myself a slice of cheese cake. My goodness, if I keep going on like this, I'll surely die. It's good I got a yoga mat for Christmas then, so I can do a bit of exercising. Volla left to seek warmer places this morning, so now it's only Lumba left. He's leaving on Friday, so I intend to spend a bit time with him before he leaves as well. Tomorrow I have school, which sucks. Because it means I'll have to start preparing for a new "praksis", which I've been dreading. Oh well, it's officially 2014, and it scares me more than I'd like to think. It's just so strange to think that it's just one year left until most of the millennium goals are supposed to be achieved. I can remember reading about them for a test a few years ago, and thinking it was so long until 2015. I hope the year will turn out good, and that I don't do too much stupid things. Ha.
