"Gap Year Soldiers On"- Father


#5
“Soooorrryy, I’ve been so slack and busy and annoying and I haven’t been able to find the time to write on here, but here goes anyway, I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me…” Hehe oops…

Heeey guuuys, ok so I’m back at my normal home after about a month house sitting out the south, which is nice, but I do miss having my own massive space haha. The two cats survived and nothing catastrophic happened so that’s cool. I think the worst thing that happened was me dropping the cat’s spoon behind a pile of fire wood hahah… I did come home quite a bit though haha, mostly for food/internet access :P And of course to see my loving family hehe.

Hope you had a lovely Easter, I know I did, especially with my besties on the Saturday night :D Sooo much fun! After like 6 months of not being able to go out with Hannah and Terri it was awesome for them to finally be 18 and experience the roaring night life of BH :P It was great to have them back in the hill, and to also see Grace again! Easter Sunday was a fun BBQ with the family, and lots of choccies of course… according to one of Mum’s friends, if you break the egg before you eat it all the calories fall out.

I got my green P’s on the 17th just in time before Brim left which meant she could give me a lesson in her little manual. Interesting… but not enough to be really hilarious (ie. I wasn’t too bad haha). I think it’s safe to say I can drive a manual now, not well, but I can :P

There was also ANZAC Day, my 7th and last with Cadets (probs)- and also my first in 6 years without Brim! :( It was a great day though. I went to the dawn service with Adam and then to the Garden of Remembrance and Memorial Oval with the cadet’s guard and the midday service with the rest of the unit. Then there was lunch at the barracks with Dad, where I also had a good chat to someone about being an MP in the Army. I was proud of the cadets for doing what they did, there's a lot of practice that go into their drill, especially for the guard where weapons are involved for the ceremonial drill. Then there's all the uniform prep. It's definitely all worth it on the day. 

Aaaaaaaand, and and anddddd- I now have a full time job :D The pharmacy offered it to me when one of the full time girls changed to casual so we pretty much just swapped places. So that’s what I’ve been doing haha, I started on the 23rd and I hope it’ll get me closer to achieving my travels this year. Speaking of travels, the people I went to China with, Uncle Dario and Sarah, are now engaged! So that’s nice, and quite exciting haha :)

I reckon that’s about it right now, hopefully it won’t be too long before I can tell you all more…
Cya!
