Patience

I am a pretty impatient person.  But not in an annoying way (I think).  Just because I get super excited about what is happening or I am doing.  Some times I forget to live in the moment because I am just so excited.  It's like a little kid who just doesn't understand why it can't be Christmas tomorrow.


Anyways, I am getting slightly impatient right now.  I got an email yesterday about some specifics for what I am doing next week and where I have to go for orientation.  And that, even more so, made me want next week to be here NOW.  It's getting slightly boring just hanging out around the house.  But not really because I'm bored; more so because I just really want to be working with the kids already.  I am so excited for this next season of my life and as it gets even closer I am getting more excited and less patient.  It's just that I am getting tired of this in-between week.  I am glad that I had it to get settled in, furnish the house, learn may way around the city, and just have some time to rest before it all starts.  Ughh, but I am so ready to begin.  To just jump right in and get to work and start learning all that I am going to learn this year.  And I know that just because I haven't started work yet, doesn't mean these days aren't important.  And, like I said, I really would like to live in the present.  But it is just so hard when something so exciting is happening so soon.


Also, as I'm writing this, I am reminding myself of just how excited I am for this job.  And it is such a good thing.  So good to be excited to go to work.  Really, this is going to be awesome.


Yeah, so today was a pretty normal day though.  I went to a bunch of yard sales with one of my new roommates to try and find some more furniture for the house.  Then I cleaned the entire kitchen because it was soo gross when we moved in.  Things stuck to your feet as you walked around.  So I swept and mopped.  Oh, and I ventured over to the Trader Joe's that is like 5 blocks from my house.  Pretty sweet!  But I noticed they used a LOT of plastic packaging (a topic for another day).  Then me and 4 other of my new roommates hung out and played cards and talked about stupid stuff just trying to get to know each other.  We are all so incredibly different.  It is super interesting watching us all interact.  It is definitely going to be a crazy year in this house with 8 people.
