Well, I started my new job last monday and have successfully made it through two weeks!! It's going very well and I'm slowly finding myself more comfortable there. Some things I like, and some things I don't. When I'm not learning anything new I find that the days kinda blend into one and become very much the same, so I look forward to the days I come home having accomplished something.
Today, I gave the other girl that works there, Jenny, a special hair treatment and a blowwave. I hadn't done a blowdry before so I learnt something new!
I'm really looking forward to going to TAFE. I know some of it will be hard and scary, but I'm hoping to meet new people and learn lots and lots.
Sorry I written forever, I have been working and only have Sunday and Tuesday off at the moment.

Grade 12 and Apprenticeships
I am so excited!
I just officially finished grade 12. This means no more school. Ever.
I don't remember the last time I was this happy. It's like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders that I've been carrying around for the last...12 years.
In other news, I recently acquired a hairdressing apprenticeship! I am very happy about that as well. She is a really lovely, christian lady named Elle, and she owns a beautiful salon. I don't think she is just your ordinary hairdresser either, as she does the hair for models on catwalks in Sydney and other big hair shows. Elle says I'll be able to come along as her assistant sometimes. How great is that!!
I think my apprenticeship was a big God thing! He just planned it so perfectly and it all fell into place and with a Christian lady at that!
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know how excited I am!

Don't worry
Early last week, it occurred to me that I don't actually live in the present. I feel like I live in the future. Sometimes it seems that every minute of my day is spent worrying about the next minute of my day. I'm missing the here and the now because I'm too busy being anxious about the future. It doesn't ever stop either, you could worry your entire life away without enjoying/experiencing it. This isn't a fun way to be.
Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Matthew 6:34
Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future; but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

Golden Gaytime from Hell
So my friends 1 and 2, and I went out tonight, late night shopping. First we got maccas and then we ate Allen's Snakes.
Lots.
We had snake-aches.
Then we decided to go and get these new drinks from KFC. They are golden gaytimes, but not your average ice-cream, these are gaytimes in a cup with a straw.
So we were waiting in the drive through after an embarrassing episode of handing the little man in the square window $12 in 2o cent pieces and were waiting patiently for our drinks. Little did we know the Drama that would soon follow....Driving slowly up to the window where our drinks would magically appear from a young girl who definately had an evil glint in her eyes, we rolled the window down and smiled expectantly.
Now whether is was the fault of the stubby armed girl with the evil glint, or the stupidly placed garden between the car and tiny square window which made the distance way to long, or maybe even my anonymous friend 1's fault, we shall never know, but as our beloved drinks were thrown (not passed) down to us from the not-so-magic window, somehow, one unfortunate drink, ended up in anonymous friend 1's lap.
And on her jacket.
And in her car.
And on me.
And on her hand brake.
And on the steering wheel.
And on the carpet.
Suddenly these drinks did not look quite so appetising. The lumpy bits no longer looked like crunchy bits of chocolate and biscuit.
....still the hilariousness could not be stopped. My insides still hurt from how hard we laughed. We parked the car in the KFC car park...if you can call it a park and then anonymous friend number 2 was waiting in line to ask for napkins.
Now we don't know who to blame for this series of unfortunate events, but I still think it was the stubby arms and the evil glint.
