Monday: Small Story

Over time people do have very memorable experiences of the world, and the most amazing thing is what happens to people. I, like many people, like a good story or two. I also have a story or two to tell of, and one thing that has stuck to me is a small moment in my life. Not the most amazing story but a story still.

I did something called work experience a couple years back for school, and for five days I was a gardener rather then a school student.
My work experience was as a gardener to my pleasure and luckily for me it also means going from place to place to do gardening. One thing I did during work experience was picking up the plant material that was left behind from someone else who was cutting back some plants. It wasn’t the most fun of things to do but for me it beats being at school plus it was quiet and peaceful despite being near a street that would get busy at times.

Next thing I hear is a bicycle, I turn to see some young girl who appeared about twelve was riding a bicycle on the middle of the road. I didn’t know who she was, never seen her in my life. This girl out of all things smiled and winked at me as if trying to be a flirt. I found this creepy considering how young this girl seemed to be nor did I know what to think of this girl either. I was just left looking at this girl ride her bicycle while I was left confused.

There were questions that did go through my mind at the time: Whose the girl? Why wasn’t she at school at the time? Why is she riding a bicycle in the middle of the road?
This small moment in time has stuck to me and on a personal level this is a story to look back at to get a little laugh.

Monday: Victoria

It is nearing the end of school holidays throughout Australia, with some issues of when school starts for the year in Victoria. Some say it is on the first of February with others disagreeing and saying it is on the fourth. The reason for this is that on some calendars it says school starts within Victoria on the first and some calendars saying that the school year starts on the fourth.

This situation is unusual in itself as in my experience calendars usually agree with each other rather than disagree when the school year starts and ends, nor have I personally have come across this before. As a problem its really nothing to really worry about as people can simply call up their local school on the first and ask if school starts that day or on the fourth.


Besides that, the last time I have actually been updated on how the flood affected Queensland a day or two ago I heard Queensland is just a disaster zone and at risk of a cyclone. After hearing of that I haven’t really heard anything of what is going on.

There are also floods in Victoria. Some places in Victoria are still going to flood the last I heard, and people are using sandbags to try to stop their houses flooding. There have also been sandbags stolen or so I’ve been told.
I don’t really know what to think of this sandbag stealing business, all that I am left asking is why steal sandbags when you can ask for them? Apparently there are plenty for those who need some.

Hopefully over time I will become much better at making such posts as I did today, all I can suggest to myself is practice. Sounds like boring and generic advice, but from experience I know practice really does help.

Monday

One thing I am going to start doing is making a post every Monday containing happenings of my life and/or my thoughts on a topic, the reason for this is that I have noticed a very small amount of posts about events that have occurred to me or of my thoughts. While I do love sharing information and learning, the fact that I don’t really make a post about events in my life and my thoughts on a certain topic I find a little sad.

The idea to do this obviously came from other bloggers who make posts about their lives and thoughts on topics, but what influenced me the most to do this was the Vlogbrothers oddly enough. In a way this is a shout out to Nerdfighteria, sorry for not being really involved within it besides watching John and Hank’s videos.

Originally I had no New Years resolution, but making a post about happenings in my life and/or thoughts on a topic every Monday might just be the best thing I can do for a resolution. Good luck to me in doing this.
