The character.

There was this character once, not too far from here, who wether she was being cool or acting cool, she always was cool.
She was quite sporty, she would hit the gym several days a week and take long walks the days she couldn't.
She was... well, actually is, living in an island. This island is 50 miles long. She lives on the south coast, near the one and only city in the island. Her school, however, is on the north coast, a place far better for studying, since there is no pressure or anything, just a place for learning. This island is probably located somewhere near Hawaii, because the climate and the language are quite similar. It's almost always sunny, weather forecasts are not fun to watch.
In this island she has many friends, some closer than others. And some of the closest live, ironically, on the north coast. But that's ok, she goes there quite often and they come to visit too.
She's always quite busy, she doesn't like to waste time. But, like in every island, there's no stress over things, no hurries, no pressure. Things get done when they get done, and there's no point in going nuts about it. She's never waisting time on her laptop or in front of the TV. She enjoys some of her free time on both, but mindfully. She watches the programs she likes, and then switches off the TV. Or she chats with her friends or just surfs the net for a while, but then gets back to work/sport/whatever she was doing. Because she's in control of her time, she doesn't let it slip through her fingers.
This may sound like she never enjoys a lazy moment, and that's not true. She loves lying outside with a good book, and she finds the time to do it. Actually, she always has the time to do it, because she does efficiently all she has to do the rest of the day.
And she has many things to do. Work never ends when you live in the country, there's always something to do at home, and she's willing to help. That's why she keeps a few hours a week for housework. She likes to feel she's helpful, and also likes a tidy house, so that's why this isn't a big deal for her.
She's, like I already said, in school. She has a lot of schoolwork to do, but she does it as well as she can, because she truly enjoys school and learning. Although it's a bit far, she has a beautiful school with everything she needs, and she's trying to get involved in activities that'll keep her connected to the school after she graduates, that's how much she likes it.
She's really into sports, so she used to watch what she eats. I say used to because now it's all second nature for her. She doesn't need to pay atention to avoid eating sugar or bread, she just knows it's not the food for her. And by the way she enjoys her vegetables and healthy food, nobody would say she's watching anything!
A couple times a week she writes on her blogs about how's life going at the island. Sometimes it gets a little bit claustrophobic there, being such a small island, but she's learning how to evade through exercise and relaxation and this is really helping her a lot.

Maybe I'll tell you a little bit more about her tomorrow, right now I have to go.
