I’m growing up.
It scares the heck out of me. I have officially got 110 days, 7 hours, 31 minute and 26 seconds until I’m 18.
That is:
-
110 days of being a child.
I know most teenagers can’t wait until they turn 18, and there are things I can’t wait for. But the inner child of mine isn’t quite ready to let of kidness.
I, like my close friends, generally act more like a 6 or 7 year old than the 17, nearly 18 year old that i am. Truth be told, I love childishness.
I am the girl who still enjoys watching Disney movies and singing along 
and has a tinkerbell duvet cover.
I am also very mature hehe before anyone thinks im one of those weird people who are intellectually all there but never grow up, and end up living at home until they are OLD. Intellectually all there, growing up, just enjoying things while i can.
Me, Sharyn and Kirsty spent an afternoon at the house sitting house up at Muriwai last Wednesday. This meant missing youth group, which i was slightly gutted about, but it was an opportunity that just had to be taken.
See we made a list this year. A list of all the things we had to do before uni started. It all came about with one of those Rebekah moments where i get REAAAALLY excited about something, the first one was a tea party. Then i decided we needed to have a teddy bears picnic. Kirsty thought we were in need of a road trip to TGA (Tauranga, NZ for those not in the know… 
). Kirsty’s resolution was to do things she planned, and we’ve all kinda jumped on with it!
So while we were at the house / our signal spot, we drafted a list, which seems to be getting bigger and bigger!
Here is just a taste:
-3 musketeers 2010-
♥ Gym dates 3x a week
♥ Another trip to Candyland, to make lollipops
♥ Walk the 22 km round trip from Muriwai to Bethells
♥ Visit the Avondale markets
♥ Camp out under the stars
♥ Disney sleepover
♥ Cook dinner together once a month
♥ Do an evening class of some description each month
♥ Learn to survive in the real world (aka learn to cook and shop etc, basically wife training 
)
♥ Visit photo booths
♥ Make our own 2011 calendars over the year with photos of us
And it just keeps getting more and more.
But all this got me thinking about how unprepared i am as a person for the big wide world. I feel ill-equipped to deal with the issues that will confront me in my day to day life. Dealing with uni is already doing my head in, and i dont start for another month!!
So im going to spend each of these 110 days i have left to enjoy the freedoms i have, the lack of responsibilities, and the opportunities to do crazy things.
So if you see me and i do stupid childish stuff, that’s why.
Cause im just enjoying one day more of childhood, before its gone forever.
