Expect the Unexpected: I won't be labelled "Average".

Haha. It's true. On the 16th of August I went for a job interview & left with my uniform. Hence, I got a job!

That's the other reason why I've not been able to post a new blog- because I've been so tired & so busy.

I'm full time working 5 days a week 6 or 8 hour days. Mmhmm. BAWESOME! God is good! Hope you are, too!

Love, Hanz.

 

Well this last week or so has been quite interesting I guess you could say.

 

Jobsearch training is turning out to be quite alright & I have been for 2 interviews this week & another 1 tomorrow.

All I can do is keep trying, as much as it irritates me.

 

I've also, suprise! Got myself stuck into jewlery making while watching TV or just generally, & love it. I've brought

a few of my own beads and made a number of different things already- even some sets of jewlery! Pretty cool.

 

Anyway, I'd best be going now!

 

Yes I know, short blog, but if I wrote any more most people would just skim the contents without paying personal attention!

 

Oh-I'd just like to say I dislike facebook. :) MSN and Myspace all the way! Facebook- STOP emailing me! LOL.

 

Love to all! 

For an unemployed person I sure have been busy the last few weeks.

As an announcement I would just like to say that you may or may not have noticed that there is now only ONE photo album left on this

blog - it is not because I dislike the photso I deleted, but rather, precautionary measure to ensure the safety of friends & family. (And also

because they were old & taking up space on the computer :P). However, the one that is left, the PY one, is up there because the album is huge, & I wish to deal with the others that I saved, first. But I'm pretty sure that the PY album will be staying permanently on this space.

 

Now, I would like to say that my 20th birthday came & went, & was quite enjoyable. And no, I don't feel that much older! Thankyou to everyone for everything that made my day special. I was spoilt- went shopping, ate a lot of food (LOTS of food- almost like my own buffet!),

& had tea with the family & went to Bible Study that night- where I was suprised with another Birthday Cake!

 

Mum's 50th went extremely well & I was very pleased with it - everyone loved it! I just can't believe it's all over now.

 

I have started my 3rd round of jobsearch training, which is keeping me very busy 4 days a week, which is good, but hard to get

used to- I have a few job interviews coming up though, which will be excellent! :) I've had my up & down days, that's a given, but

am trying to keep my chin up.

 

Saw the Simpsons movie on Tuesday night- it's awesome & I recommend it to Simpsons fans of all variations...so funny!

Also- stay during the credits! ;) There's extra stuff included!

 

Luv,

Hanz.

 

(First things First- Happy 20th Birthday to Kirsty- My friend for 10 years!).

Two years ago today I was left open mouthed with the realization that today would have been my last day as a "Child".

I write this blog today realizing what day it is, & ultimately, realizing that this is my last day not only as a teenager, but

also as a "Child" in the eyes of the world. Whilst I will remain a Child in the eyes of many people (by the technical sense),

Tomorrow I wake up in the label of "Adult"...& that's what I find interesting in every sense of the word. Where does time go?

 

I'm not really sure what to expect from life, but I guess nobody ever really does. I had it "planned" somewhat, & naturally

God has come in with his own agenda, leaving nothing to me how I first thought it would be. It is with curiousity, fear,

anticipation & a tiny bit of disbelief that I stick my head around the corner today, ready to close the last page on this

time of my life. I'm looking foward to 20 a lot more than people might realise, & I think a lot more than I realise, myself!

 

I look back on the past 7 years & remember how much I wanted to turn 13 :P I see the good times, the bad times, the

lessons learnt, & the people who have come & gone, & those of course who are still here with me! I see what I have got

in life & how it (among other things, of course) has helped me grow into the person I am today (Even though there's a

whole lot of improvement to go :P). I know the difference between right & wrong, I have my own moral stand & process

of thought. I am my own person, I'm God's. I sit here typing this and have a smile on my face trying not to laugh both

at my blog entry & my own priceless stages of development :P I hold some regrets, but at the same time I regret

nothing, because I know it has helped me grow up & learn different things. I think I'm pretty satisfied with how things

turned out for my teens, & I think Mum & Dad are too. Overall, I was a good kid & I will strive to not screw up adult life

too much! Haha.

 

I close this blog off with one final mesage: Beware, Adult world, for you know not what is about to hit you! :P

 

Love to all, & thanks for putting up with me for the past 19 years and 364 days :P I mean it! Life wouldn't be the same without you.

 

 

 

 

 

So last Friday didn't turn out to be the average Friday. But then again, Friday's never really do around here- the friday before was just as eventful with a blackout as the friday that followed. Friday the 13th, not that I am Supersticious, would have freaked anyone out with its

coincidence, but I know better than that. About 2pm My sister came running down the stairs (or more like fell down them) panicking.

The rest of us were sitting around having a late lunch or whatever & instantly she got us suspicious. To cut the story short we went outside

to be greeted by a neighboring house on fire (full force). My sister rang the police & by the time we got out there the house was well & truly alight & there was nothing we could do. The usual chaos brought by fire erupted & soon news crews & half the suburb were in our street, as well as police & fire brigades & all the usual. We were outside for about 6 hours. The cause of the fire is unknown but the resident's in a critical condition....and trust me, some of the sights I saw that day weren't ones you wish to keep. I didn't sleep well for about 4 nights after it. Took some home video & it appears in a few of them that you can see the trapped resident...although I'm not totally sure about that or if it's just me. Our house is fine, it managed to get to 4 others though. Bit of smoke inhalation but we were fine & still are.

Final preparations for Mum's day are going well- yay for that!

I went with Amanda & Dad to go to see the new Harry Potter Movie today, & the cinema wasn't that packed which was great!

I think the fact it wasn't School holidays, & it wasn't night time, had something to do with it! :) I quite enjoyed it - I always do!

Harry Potter Movies have met and exceeded my expectations from the Novels...athough now I am realising there's only 1 more

book to go! Just one! It's been interesting growing through my teenage years with Harry Potter & all the Characters...good ole' 2000!

And now, to get to the point of the "Final Countdown" blog title. Many might be wondering what that is about, & some may just well know.

You see, I, Hannah, was born on the 25th of July 1987. For those of you who aren't good at maths, this makes me 20 years old next Wednesday, a week from today. While I feel ready for this transition, I can't help but wonder where time went. It feels like just yesterday I was turning 16, and a few days before that turning 13. However, I will save all further reflections & resolutions for a blog next Wednesday (Maybe :P Who wants to spend their birthday on the computer!). But it's also nearly a year since I started my Cert 3 in Child Care, which I now posess. Interesting concept this thing known as time. And now, I should sign off...for any of my extended family who read this - hello! Can't wait to see you all soon! Love you stacks. And to my friends, hello also & leave me blog comments! LOL. It's so sad, who asks for those anymore?

Hanz.
