Weekly diary #10: I celebrated my birthday!

Weekly diary #10: I celebrated my birthday!

Posted on September 21, 2017July 6, 2023

Hi and welcome back to this 10th weekly diary! I’ve decided to elaborate the titles a little bit as you can see haha. Here’s weekly diary #10: I celebrated my birthday!

Thursday

Today wasn’t such a special day. I went to school and worked on school in the library for a few hours afterwards. On my way home I got soaked by the rain. Summer is my season, then it’s warm! I like winter least due to the weather. But there are things I do like. Christmas with the family and New Years Eve for example. At night I had another handball training. Saturday is our first game again. Exciting!

Friday

A day off from school and so I decided to not set an alarm. On the one hand I like waking up by the sun, very slowly. But on the other hand I also like to sleep in a very dark room, with roller shutters. When I sometimes sleepover at family I always wake up by the sun because they don’t have those roller shutters and then I really enjoy that. Maybe I should do some research too, to see what’s best for my health. Today I also took some steps again for my businessplan and did some things for my to-do list. I handed in my first test for school. A report on how you can make your house as sustainable as possible. I also made myself a good smoothie. A while ago I had one at the Broodbode and I really liked it. With spinach, soy milk and a banana. A good way to get in some vitamins!

Saturday

I got up early because I was doing a canteen shift at the baseball club of my brother. My parents don’t want to and so they have to pay or send someone in their place. That’s me, but I’m receiving the money they save too. It really made me think about volunteering. I want to do it, but it’s hard to combine with school and my job. I also downloaded a new app on my iPad today and I must say now, I’m addicted to SimCity… We had our first handball game today with the handball team and we won! 19-17! It was great to play again and go into the city center after the game with some of the players. It’s been a while since I drank alcohol, I only do it together with others. I asked for a cocktail without a straw, but instead I got two! Well, at least I tried. It was a fun night after all.

Sunday

I had a few fun things planned today. First up, my vegetable garden. It was time to harvest the carrots. And that really showed me how uniform all carrots in the stores look because mine had really different forms. Beauty comes in all shapes, right? All things I harvest but don’t eat I put back onto the soil so that the plants can take the nutrients from that compost. You’ll never see me sweeping leaves in the garden either, I think it’s a waste of time and effort. They look pretty, feed the soil and serve as a shelter for animals/insects! What I did sweep today was waste. I went trash-picking with a friend again. We made a Facebook page too, I’ll tell you more about that soon when it’s launched. We also baked a cake together. My dad had already bought a package to make an apple crumble pie. A bit of a bummer because I wanted to make a vegan cake. But sweet! He didn’t have to buy it but he did. We used the apples from our garden to make the pie, these are a little too sour to eat raw. No waste, we even left the peels on. At night I got back to my SimCity addiction and watched some tv.

Monday

I was off from school, but I did work from 7 till 5 at my part-time job. It was the first time I worked alone, but it all went well. After work my boyfriend came by, since it’s my birthday tomorrow! We couldn’t wait and already ate some of the apple crumble pie. But we did have something to celebrate already, today I had the honor of welcoming the 1000st visitor on this blog! Wiehoee! After only a year, I’m so proud. Thank you!

Tuesday

It’s my birthday! I turned 19! I already ate some cake yesterday, but today between classes my boyfriend and I went to Choco in Deventer. Soooo good! Unfortunately they had no vegan options. But it was a good way to spend lunchtime. I felt all energized back at school afterwards. Going to school at all is a privilege I have, but on your birthday it’s even more special. My boyfriend gifted me a day at the spa and a dinner afterwards. Yes, experiences! After a whole year I forgot how fun birthdays are. It was a fun day!

Wednesday

What did I have for breakfast today? Cake! Yes, we had some leftovers and those are not going into the bin. What a way to start a day. Cake at 6:45 in the morning. I wish I could live like this every day, it’s good. Today I got up early, but not for class. I did have class but I went to school early to work on my businessplan. This way I can do a lot throughout the day. After school my grandpa and grandma came by for cake. That was the last of it, I promise.

Yours sincerely,
Romee

    Ik heb de petitie voor de sleepnetwet getekend, zodat er tenminste een referendum komt 😛 Of je voor of tegen bent, kun je daarna altijd nog beslissen 🙂

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio Gent, wat was je prachtig 🌆. Dit is absolute een duurzame vakantietip (oh, maar wees niet zo naïef als ik en ga lekker met de trein 🚃). Binnenkort is op Youtube de gehele vakantievlog te bekijken.
