day 1: paper cranes

I'm really fond of making lists. I'd always have a post it stuck to my planner that reads 'things to-do' and would have little check boxes to mark whatever it is I'd write down.

It so happens that I'd be turning 18 soon, to be more precise I'll be turning 18 in eighteen days. And since I have the need to always do something has made lists. A list of things to do BEFORE my birthday and a list of things I should do when I turn 18. 

So for everyday I have to do something different, cool and even spontaneous. Doing the thing is sometimes the hard part, it's thinking about what to do for each day makes it fun.

Today, I'm supposed to make paper cranes. Eighteen paper cranes to be exact.

It took me forever just to make them, to think I wanted to fold a thousand paper cranes before. Gaaaahh, took almost two hours. One, because I was coughing a fit. Two, I kept looking for tissue whenever I felt a sneeze coming (or to gross people out, when my snot was going runny. Ugh.). And three, it was like I was slowly dying a cold, painful death.

Being sick-ish is no joke. The weather during the rainy months are the worse. It's always during this time that I get sick sick. And to think I had my medicine the night before :(( Me and my messed up immune system.

So yeah, paper cranes.

 Eighteen paper cranes = eighteen wishes. Hmmmm...

 I'd like to give names to all my new tiny bird friends, but that would be darn right difficult to remember. I'm bad at names.

 Yikes! A great big, pile of paper cranes.When my parents see this, they'll only have one thing to say about them tiny birds..."TRASH". I think I'll string them up and dangle it above my bed. 

Don't you just love paper cranes? I know I do.

Looking forward to the next seventeen days!
