Breaking up with 'Mr Comfort Zone' :/

Heyy ma lil pepis! Today marks the second day of my second week of Year 12. I made a promise to myself over the Christmas holidays that I would make the most of my last year and get involved and have as much fun as I possibly can. Today, I auditioned for my schools production of Hairspray. There are only two words that summarise the audition- "not pretty". I'm an active person but dancing is another ball game! I was dancing with my friends and we were having fun...and then I blanked. What were the moves? I looked around at everyone else, trying to keep going but I just got more confused. I ended up looking like a complete idiot but I was an idiot who had fun and a good ol' laugh.

The audition was my first step of leaving my comfort zone. Even though it wasn't that big of a deal; it was to me. It is something I never would have encouraged myself to do. This year is going to be a challenging year; figuring out what I want to do with my life after high school, challenging myself and keeping up with my studies. Throw in a possible part time job, hanging out with friends, blogging, working out and saving up money, let's just say I have my work cut out for me. But it is okay, it is exciting!

Another not so exciting (but exciting for me) thing I did today was I went for a run on my own. Usually I go with my sister because it is more fun with another person but she didn't want to go. I felt really independent whilst I was running laps around the basketball court and running up and down sets of stairs. This too was something accomplished outside my comfort zone and it was exhilarating to do something for myself, by myself and without the help of anyone else; it was my responsibility to push myself to keep running, to motivate myself and to keep myself safe!

Comfort zone (CV) numero 3 for this week is to take the bus to my local shopping centre and hand out resumes to pretty much everywhere and talk to a lot of managers! I am a shy person so hopefully I won't chicken out! *Fingers crossed!*
