Reserves progress!

Well, I went for my YOU session today to see what I'm eligible for within the Defence Force. Apparently, I'm officer material. Word.

But seriously, it's looking pretty positive so far - this is only the first step. I'll find out if I've been accepted for an interview hopefully in the next couple of weeks as an Operator Supply, which I found out today that no part of the Defence Force can survive without :-D. However, I want to find out if I can do reserves as an Officer...imagine...
I'm a little excited, a little nervous and a little interested in ADFA BUT I've had a look at their courses and there ain't a whole lot there that draws me right in...I'll test out the reserves and see how we go.

But there's progress right there :-D

Reserves

Well, everything was set and my plan was in motion to get myself into the Army Reserves ASAP and then my boss rings to tell me she's picked up a 200pax function on the night of my information evening. So I did the right thing by her and called up and cancelled my evening on the 18th and changed it to about 5 weeks away, which I'm not very happy with at all. AND THEN, she sends me an email saying, oh well maybe we could just bring you in for set up instead!! *sigh* So now I don't know what she's doing and whether she wants me or not and then if I can have the night off I don't know if I can book back into the 18th to do the info night! Frustration!

On a brighter note, I started my new fitness regime today and like a rookie, hurt my shoulder, she'll be right after a good night's sleep though - hopefully. Have to keep myself fit and healthy, I can't really afford to get sick at the moment, especially with so few shifts at work and such a big semester this time. Hmmm, i also need to learn how to be awake in the morning for my classes and lectures. Apparently I don't cope well in the mornings. AND apparently I'm good a chemistry (well the prep class anyway) Scored myself a Distinction :-).

rambling

Come walk with me through a forgotten place,
From broken dreams to outer space,
Where day is night and night is day,
And within the rainbows, shadows play.

Do you remember the children calling?
The taste of stars and daylight falling.
The moon it smelt of summertime laughter,
Returning the sound of ever after....
