General reflection

Last weeks weren't sparing me at all. I've had so many things to get done that keeping up with CAS became a sad duty instead of something that gives me joy and self-satisfaction.
I completely stopped running because it takes a lot of time and it's actually really cold outside so that I can't find any motivation to go out. I'm so mad at myself! My whole activity limits to exercsing on a stationary bike every Saturday and one trip to a roller-skating rink with my best friend. I'm disappointed with myself because I planned November to be the month I spend a lot of time exercising. The only thing that I've learned recently is that I'm a lazybones. But this whole situation gave me some motivation to set up new goals for December and start working way harder on my Activity. Hopefully I won't end up sitting under the blanket for the whole month and eating all leftovers from the Christmas dinner.
When it comes to Service... I'm not even sure if I want to mention it. It's a complete disaster. The ZOO isn't contacting me and I have to look for something else but it's really hard. I don't like working with children, but it seems like the only solution. I think I'll start my cooperation with Anioły Stróże in January. For now on I usually limit my Service to simple acts of kindness like buying a homeless person a warm meal or helping my frinds with homework. I've also signed to Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy and other charity events in 2017. Hopefully it's all going to work out.
The only thing that I actually haven't failed this moth is Creativity. Me and Adrian had some rehersals, althought our failure in the last competition kind of undermined our motivation. That's why this month I decided to improve my voice. I was working hard, following the instructions and youtube videos in order to widen the scale of my voice. I was pretty sure that one moth will make no difference but I was so wrong. My voice feels stronger and more confident now and it really surprises me. I've discovered what a power my voice really is and it gave me a lot of motivation to keep on working on it. It seems that babysteps become a huge steps sometimes.

Creativity - Halloween

A couple days ago there was a really special holiday. HALLOWEEN!
For every horror freak, like me, it's a super festive day and so was it this year.
Obviously, I carved a beautiful pumpkin and put it next to my front door to put me in the Halloween mood.
Me and my mates decided to celebrate by dressing up as various monsters and scary creatures and go to the party. We wanted to look perfect and somehow stand out from the crowd. Everybody knows I really like makeup and I'm actually quite good at it. That's why I decided to create special makeups for me and my friends. As I'm perfectly fine with contouring my face or doing the winged eyeliner, as creating a zombie or a vampire was incredibly challenging.
I was trying really hard to make us look "good" (Why did I put this word in a quotation mark? You'll se on the pictures). I even prepared some fake blood and... I doscovered a new talent!
We all looked great and very realistically. People were noticing us from the end of the street, children were scared (good job, Paulina) and other friends couldn't stop complimenting our looks.
The party was pretty fine, by the way. We were dancing all night long!
Now I'm planning to go on a characterization course, because I want to develop myself in that field. Maybe in the future I'll be able to do it not only for fun, but also as an odd job, who knows?

Natalia as a fresh goner, Adrian as a zombie, and me as a vampire :)
