Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven't been on for the last goodness knows how long, I have had a numerous amount of events occur in my life (recently) and I will now share them with you.
I have been applying for jobs, just 2 weeks ago, I attended a group interview for the first time, presenting as female. I was not picked as being transgender, and when I asked to go to the toilet, I was taken straight to the ladies room. Well, needless to say, I was offered this job, and have accepted it. I am now moving out from my parents to live on my own at the other side of my state, in a town where I know no one and no one knows me, or my past.
I have also started Laser Hair Removal on my face, and am waiting for said hairs to shed which will happen within the next few days now (judging by the size of the hairs when I pluck 1 out, compared to the size they were just before laser)
So to sum it up, these are the most recent events in my life;
• My MacBook's hard drive has blown up.
• I have been to and used the ladies toilets in excess of 3 times.
• I have attended a group interview of 15 people.
• I have attended a 1 on 1 interview.
• I have accepted a job.
• I have found an apartment in Geelong, in which I am in the process of moving into at this very moment.
• I start my brand new job THIS MONDAY!
• I have started laser hair removal.
• I have received a brand new MacBook Pro (i7 model)
So... There is so much that has happened over the past few weeks, it has been basically a non stop stress-filled and busy few weeks, but heck, it's almost over and done with. Now I am faced with a bit of a money issue because it costs me over $60 in fuel and tolls to get to and from my parents house and my apartment. I think I will borrow some money off my parents. I officially begin sleeping at my apartment on Saturday Night.
