To the forest!

When my friend asked me what I was doing on the weekend my response was:
“I’m going to the forest to do obstacle courses in the trees.”

I realized after pressing send that I sounded like somebody high on some sort of drug, but there was no better way to explain what I was doing.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a monkey? Or a bird?
I think I have an idea. It felt AWESOME!!

We had two hours to compete the courses at our own pace. Sadly we didn’t get to reach the extreme course that was 25m high but we did reach the slightly smaller, 20m course.

This topped as one of the best experiences of my life. It was challenging but the view from up high was awesome.

If you’re ever in Penrith or Nowra do check it out, it’s worth it!

Stress less!

As my first round of exams are quickly approaching I’ve come to realize I think I go to the coolest university ever!

Last week was ‘stressless week.’ During the week there were puppies, live music and even a petting zoo!

My favourite was the petting zoo. There were two goats who were by far everyone’s favourite. People chased them around desperate to get them to eat from their cup of food. Then there was a very lively sheep who kept jumping on one of my friends.  A cow who didn’t really do anything and a piglet that was running around the pen.

Now back to reality… I better pass this exam!!

Who said goals couldn’t be fun?

I seem to always be ranting about having goals and dreams and what not, so I thought it was about time to share the list of goals I have set myself for the year. Now I was meaning to post this when the year began and that’s why some things have been completed but then I guess life happened. While my year has already been incredibly busy I’ve managed to tick off some of these goals.

I usually set goals for the year that I know are going to be achievable and goals that overall will leave me with a memory or make me happier in the long run. My list is a little silly but to me it’s more of a fun thing and obviously I do have some serious goals but no one needs to be bored and read about them.

So here goes…

1. Go on a plane without my parents (COMPLETED)

2. Do something for charity (COMPLETED)

3. Get a passport

4. Go to a concert

5. For a whole week say yes to people when they ask me to do something

6. Get a new job

7. Go to Bondi beach

8. Make a new friend at Uni (COMPLETED)

9. Put $200 towards my New York fund

10. Win something

11. Dance with a stranger (COMPLETED)

12. Relearn to parallel park

13. Read 20 books (7 are done)

14. Touch a skink (COMPLETED)

 

Does anybody else try make quirky/fun goals every year? Stay tuned to hear my adventures of completing the rest!
