"If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up" - Nelly

"It was only just a dream..." I wish.It's been an interesting and rather tough last few weeks to say the least.  The spring semester is ending soon, and the summer teaching will commence.  There's just a few things wrong.

1. I'm missing someone very important.
2. I don't know where I'm teaching.

Now, you may be wondering how those two relate.  Well, they don't.  Those are just the biggest issues at the moment.  Not to mention that I have group presentations to do, as well.  I must not fail to mention that group work is not my specialty.  I cannot wait until next August.

Back to the topic, though. #1 is a person that means the world to me.  He is the person that I would do just about anything for.  Even though I've only known him for a couple of years, we've clicked from the start.


He's gone abroad now, and life in America just isn't the same.  But enough of that sob story.

#2 is a pain in my bum.  My university is terribly slow in arranging teaching placements.  I have 2 weeks until I'm supposed to be at some school!  I keep telling myself not to freak out, but I really am.  The last I heard was that 40 people are waiting. FORTY! *Facepalm.*
Lord, please don't let me be stuck with middle school. Amen.

So while I wait for #1 and #2 to become a part of my life (again), I live each day to the fullest: smiling at everyone, listening to good music, saying my prayers every night (or when necessary), and trying to be the best I can be.  The trick is to not let the not so great things in life get you down, or keep you down.  I've almost mastered it; it's a work in progress.

According to me, patience is an excellent quality to have.
