Patience, Possiblities, and Out of Time

Well, I have officially been out of school for 10 days. It's so nice to just have a break and not have to deal with school stuff for a little while. I am still waiting on one grade though, and it's nerve wracking. My scholarship and my financial situation for the next year rides on that one little letter that my Ecology professor doesn't seem to want post. It is very frustrating and makes me extremely antsy. Needless to say, patience has never really been my strong suit. I attempt to work on it some times, but really, I just don't usually do very good with it. I live in a world of instant gratification, and you expect me to wait for things? Are you crazy? I wouldn't really care about waiting for the grade if it weren't for the fact that as long as it is at least a C+ than I will have kept my scholarship for all 4 years of my undergrad. I'm pretty sure I pulled at least a C+ but I don't want to get my hopes up too much just in case. This semester definitely wasn't my best. My first ever grades lower than a B+. Two of them in fact. But as long as I still have a 3.7 I am happy.

I may have a job for the summer. Just part time working 20 hours a week or so at the Lin's Pharmacy. It won't help a whole ton with my money situation (I am completely broke and am pretty sure I will be until I graduate with my Pharm.D.) but it is certainly better than nothing, and I am thrilled about it. I would be perfectly willing to do it unpaid because I need the experience, I will be getting certified as a Pharm Tech, so keep your fingers crossed for me that it will work out. Just waiting for state approval now.

My marathon is now less than a month away. I'm pretty much terrified. There is no way I am even going to be close to ready. I slacked of way way way too much this last semester. It's not going to be good, but I'm pretty much out of time. I will just have to run like crazy the next two weeks and hope I won't completely die when I run because I'm doing it anyway even though I'm not going to be ready. Oh well. I will just have to run with Jack. He loves running. And now I make him carry my water. It makes me happy.
