Well I usually do this "yearly report" as my friends have come to know it via email.. but figured I'll put something on here too!
Well this year has been a long one. Damn year 12! But its over, not just year 12, but the whole year. Its been a year full of tears, smiles, laughs, positive and negative moments. But all in all, its changed who I am! So here we go...
Started SES at the start of the year! Which is continully proving to be one of the best things that I have ever done, I've met the most wonderful and amazing people through it! Plus, faced some of those fears I have!!!
In the start of the July holidays, I had a lovely surprise... woke up one morning, and found one of my mates, Nathan sitting on my bed. The deal is, I hadnt seen Nathan since Seniors 1/2002! He lives in Grafton. So I had the chance to spend a few days with him. When I opened my eyes, when he was sitting on my bed, I didnt know whether to cry or scream, or what to do. But when I had to say Goodbye... it took alot to hold back the tears in front of him. They hit on the way back home though. I miss you heaps Nathan... Good Luck with the army next year. I'll always be here for you!
Cadets - well, I did it! I did ATA... 1/2003! Thanks for the support before hand Laura! You are a legend! That was the most amazing week of my life. I learnt so much about myself in that one week it was, no short of amazing. Instructed on Seniors 2/2003! Now this was an experience to last a life time. It was a lot different "sitting on the other side of the fence". I got to see so many people, teenagers, grow and mature to the level in which they should be, to hold the rank which they came on the course to earn! It was amazing, the march out parade of the course... very impressed!
Family Life - Well, this has been one long year on this topic. So that this page doesnt have a negative feel to it, I'll make this part short. Well mum and dad finally seperated. When this first happened, I didnt know what was worse them being together or not being together. But Dad moved out, which made a lot of difference.
Right before the HSC started, on the friday before it, I attended a funeral. The funeral for my nans twin Margie. Havent seen the family all together in about 7 years, and that was at my Nan's funeral. Didnt think it would hit home that badly. But I guess, it's all part of the circle of life.
School - Well got that damn Personal Interest Project done and handed in... now its sitting up in my room, with the teachers at school still going on about it!!! Should be putting it up on here soon, so keep a look out!
Work - Well, I've got promoted at Maccas, yes I'm still there. I'm not the Crew Chief at my store! So I must admitt I've done alright. Got offered a scholarship to do Cert. III in Retail with them next year! But the best was yet to come... in late Nov. I was asked to become one of two of my stores Shifts Assistants... basically a type of manager!!! Modeling, well I havent done much of that this year at all, nearly nothing actually... decided against it really.. I mean, I just didnt have the time... when it come down to which one I had to cut, I had to think what looks better on the resume, 2yrs + at maccas, or a modeling job! Got a new job... in November at Lulu's Cafe at Bevo.. but I had to leave that due to work at maccas, 40hr weeks, and time at Lulu's was too much for me.
Love life - Well after Nathaniel and I broke up last year, I've had a rough time in this department. Thats over now, and I couldnt be happier... I've finally found the most amazing, increditable person, who I love more than life itself. I met Brad on the seniors course that I instructed on in July! Mind you, he was on my Seniors 1/2002! It's 3mths on Christmas Eve (date couldnt be helped!) but it feels as though I've known him my whole life. Well Brads off to ADFA next year, but never fear... we're going to stay together, see how it goes!!
