The Fat versus The Thin

I got a call back from Hungry Jacks a couple of days ago (which was actually later than they said they were going to call back). They informed me that I got the job and I have orientation day at some other Hungry Jacks this Saturday.

But Boost Juice rang me just yesterday in regards to a resume I sent in a few days back. I have interview with them this afternoon. The funny thing is they didn't set a actual time, they just said I could rock up there at any time in the afternoon. Anyway, that's where I'm about to run off now before the school kids finish and flood the shopping centre. I'm nervous, I really I hope I get the job because I would prefer to work at Boost than at Hungry Jacks.

A little prayer would be helpful. Thanks. :)

Appreciation of friends

As of lately, especially since being single, the one thing I have learnt to appreciate more is my friendships.

I think it is always important for one to have friends. To have people around them that they can trust, lean on and enjoy life with. Life was never meant to be spent every single day in lonliness. There is one quote I always remember when thinking about my friendships and what they mean. I have heard many different versions of it, but it is the only one I could find that would suit best (thankyou Google!). "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." When I remember that quote, it always seems to comfort me. It reassures me that God does care and He isn't leaving me in the world to fend for myself.

Last night I had an interesting conversation in his car as he was driving me home from Pizza Hut. We talked of many things but I guess it didn't bother either of us if we didn't make sense of what we were saying, because we were enjoying each other's company and it's those moments I have with friends that I like the most.

Another thing I learnt from last night is that I like it when people take the time to listen to my own views and opinions, and I guess that is what my friend appreciated also. I wish there were more people out in the world like that. There needs to be more people that don't criticize you when you're speaking your own mind, that put all their thoughts aside and just listen to you speak. I find people who constantly interrupt or talk about what they want to say overwhelming. Of course, they can speak their own opinion, but there is a time for that and I
think that it should be our aim to be selfless and let others speak before us.

Six weeks.

With only six weeks left of classes at Tabor as of Monday, I'm beginning to grieve the end of this life-changing year already. So many new life-long friendships made, so many things learnt and experienced, so many changes in my own life, so many memories I want to hold. It scares me to think that it is all going to be over in just a short time.

My new friends I keep, I will see outside of this year and beyond, but it just won't be the same. No hanging out along Goodwood Rd during lunch break, no terrorising the other students at Tabor, no road trips and car convoying to different places, no driving 10 times faster than the speed limit along the Tabor driveway.

Time is going too fast and there's nothing I can do to make it stop. All these moments of fun, joy, sorrow and unity will soon become just memories. Memories we can't relive.

I would not have wanted to do this year with anyone else. I'm glad we did this year together. We started off, just awkward strangers and now look where we are! We are family, we portray the best example of unity.

One year has almost past, one year of love, one year of growth, one year of experiences. I would not exchange this year for anything different. It just would not be as worthwhile.

Employment

Well, not quite yet employed, but I am almost there.

I have an interview at Hungry Jacks on Saturday next week.
Wish me luck! :)

Mixture of life.

I have been lacking in the process of keeping my blog up-to-date. It's not that I have been reluctant to. I just forget. I get so caught up in making my life busy that I forget to slow down and write my thoughts and emotions.

In the past week I..

-Went to Katie's farm out in Narrung, next to Lake Alexandrina with a group from Yits on Wednesday night through to Thursday arvo. Experienced making my first s'more, which was quite good. 
Spent the night in an old Child Care Centre, which was interesting to say the least. 
The town is mostly populated by aboriginals, most parents aren't responsible of their children, so they stay up all night roaming the streets. We had some kids banging on the walls and the windows from the outside at about 1am, until the rain ruined their fun.
But overall I enjoyed the trip, it was great to get away from the city life.

-Spent a whole day walking up and down Rundle Mall yesterday, shopping. Spent about $20 and purchased Hanson's Underneath album, a top and two M*A*S*H dvds ($2 each!). Then spent an hour or so enjoying the semi-nature in the heart of Adelaide at the Botanical Gardens.

-Today I worked on a cooking assignment for Life Skills while having fun, with my two friends.

So yeah, you could say my life has been somewhat busy for the past several days. But I guess I kind of like it that way, I dread doing nothing at all because it would lead me to feel somewhat lonely and depressed. I guess that is why I blog. I find I am not listened to most of the time, so I guess this is my outlet to do that. To pour out my emotions, my pain, my experiences.. 
without being too specific to what they are.
I hope I sometimes do give hope to people. I hope some people read this and know that they are not alone in what they are feeling or going through.
