It's Friday afternoon, and it's almost knock off time for me here at work. I'm so excited. Today is a significant day for me. In fact, this whole long weekend I'm heading into is a significant period for me as well - and for more reasons than one. I am heading into my final few nights as a 24 year old! In 48 hours, I'll be all of 25 years old. Holy moly. I can't believe I'm going to be 25. I'm both excited, and dreading it. Can you believe it? Me?! 25?! I can't believe it… So why it today significant?
Today marks the end of the working week, and the start of a long weekend. Bring it on! I'll always be excited about the end of a week. It has been such a frustrating week for me, though. I cursed and fumed silently (and not so quietly to certain parties) the entire week, and I only started to feel better last night while having dinner with the girls. I have been exhausted, mentally and physically.
Today also marks a solid week disassociating myself from the rest of the world - the first in a very long time. I maintained a quiet life, recuperating with much needed sleep, and perhaps much needed quietness as well. I have been an absolute total hermit, and even though being sick earlier in the week helped me with this, I think it's still a pretty good effort.
This weekend also marks the end of an extremely hectic and chaotic twelve months, where the term 'free weekend' was a scarce, and even endangered word in my vocabulary. I remember talking to Twiggy one night on the way to the airport, where she remarked that I was always coming or going from the airport. And that has been quite true. I've traveled interstate ten times in the past twelve months. And boy, was it a hectic schedule while I was interstate. I got to experience what Gran Turismo was like, real life.. I was a passenger in a mad ass sports car, midnight, wheels screeching, burning rubber through the quiet and hilly, curvy streets of Brisbane. I was molested (unknowingly as well) by Jenny in our Sydney hotel room - Winnii has evidence! I got to see lesbian mud wrestling in a dark, dingy club in Perth.. Entry fee into the club/bar - $10. Look on Kad's face when mud from the lesbians splattered all over her - priceless.
However, apart from my travels, I also think I grew as a person? I put a question mark beside this because I'm sure there are people out there who will disagree, and think I'm still the bratty, little girl. Hehehe. I think I'm a lot smarter, business wise. At least now I know what I don't want in a job, as opposed to what I do want. I've learned how to not treat others as well, business wise again. I also got a taste in retail as well, so that was a bonus.
And how could I forget? The past twelve months, I got the chance to really get to know Winnii, who has become a huge part of my life. I mean, hell - I met her three years ago, in the back seat of Jenny's car, carpooling home. But, our trip to Sydney last September with Jenny really got us gelling. And quite honestly, if I don't see her (or the girls) more than once a week, it feels forever since I've seen her. Definitely a keeper of a friend. I experience her struggles, her joys, her excitement, her triumphs. Everything. And, she really has helped me grow as a person, because I see what I want, and what I don't want :p No, no, I'm kidding.
And everyone else I've met as well the past twelve months! Goodness gracious! I've met some wonderful people: Judy, Wai, Anna, Ian, Lenna.. And the not so nice people who shall remain nameless as well. Ah well. They've all somehow helped me grow as a person.
This weekend also heralds the next twelve months as well. Phew. After twelve months of constant activity, I have had a quiet week, and hopefully this weekend marks the start of this trend. Currently, I have no plans this entire month, which suits me quite well. Hopefully, the next twelve months will bring changes (big changes), but stability to follow those changes. I'm quite ready to settle for a while now, so hopefully that will happen.
So, quite honestly, the only things I could wish for are happiness, good health and wealth, and the same for all those around me. Everything else, I can achieve if I want it to. And on the top of that list is a new place of work to bring new opportunities :o)
So as I head off to celebrate the end of this fabulous year (and quite honestly, it HAS been a fabulous year of socialisation and networking), I wish everyone reading this that the next twelve months will bring you happiness, good health, and wealth :)
Take it easy all. My next entry will surely be from a wiser girl, right? After all, she'll be all of a quarter of a century.
Cheers cheers for now,
The girl of 24.
