Prospects..

Welcome back again to the window of my fleeting spirit,

It was another sleepless struggle last night as I was kept up with my hideous dry cough again right through to the early hours of the morning. Although I must say after much bed rest today and lots of fluids and good food, I'm feeling significantly better. Hopefully I will be able to get a decent amount of sleep tonight though because tomorrow is going to be a very important day!

I got a call this afternoon from A certain Youth Services company on my way home from the pharmacy.

You see, this morning, around 2am when I couldn't sleep, I decided to whip out my laptop and finally get around to putting my application in over the net for this youth services job. I've been interested in working with this company as a residential carer for quite some time now and have been patiently waiting to turn 18 so I could apply. Turns out I have an interview at 11am tomorrow morning. I'm so excited! I've been talking about doing this for so long and now its finally happening!

Everything in my life just seems to be falling into place... I mean... I guess it's true what my friend Laura says- the good thing about hitting rock bottom is that the only way from there is up. It was around September last year that I went into a bit of a downward spiral in life. Well a bit is sort of understated. Fortunate enough though, I had a lot of great friends and family around me that were very supportive and were able to help me get back on my feet. Since then I've gotten through my HSC, graduated from High School, was accepted into Uni for languages, got my license and bought a car, started an awesome TAFE course in out door recreation, had a grant passed for my scuba diving course, finally made it to 18, got a new job at Rafferties resort, become a lot more fit and healthy, done shave for a cure, become a bone marrow donor and now I've got an interview for the job I really want! The interesting thing about all of this though is that I wrote all of these things down as goals. I wanted these things to happen... Its like I willed all of these great things into my life. I mean I know that a lot of these things are normal mile stones in a teenagers life but from where I was in September, it makes me really happy to see how far I've come. It gives me hope for the future and its a reminder that failing isn't falling down, its staying down...
