impatience

The sister's wedding is coming up soon, and the responsabilities of the sister not getting married are being called upon - during finals week. Although I have to say that since my last test in my Portuguese class (for which I have an oral exam amanĂ£), I haven't really felt the same urgency as usual to get an 'A.' I think it might have something to do with this newfound passion for missions in Mexico. Have I mentioned this yet? ... well, if you know me I've told you, if not, surprise! My growing impatience for all things academic is really starting to get on my nerves - really it's getting in the way of my academic success, but hey, you win some you lose some.

The big ugly head has finally reared. I need a job. I can't pay for tuition this semester and doubt the prospects much more for paying for the next... that is, if I don't get in gear and start job hunting. Too bad I have a one-year gap on my record, but hey! Who are they to judge? Oh yeah, employee recruiters. Crap.

A little P.S. note from the almost-married sis:
"Emily...just wait...your day is coming and you will see how wonderful it is to have a sister that is willing and happy to assist you in any and every way in your most happy and at the same time, most stressful, hairpulling, wanna acream and cry at the same time, and driving everyone else crazy even though you always said you would never be one of those brides...moments"

No comments:

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.
