23

My birthday is officially 6 days away and I will be 23 years old!  Sometimes I can't believe how fast time flies.  So, I wanted to blog briefly about what turning 23 means to me.

23 Means:
- Finally catching up to my friends in age
- Only 17 more years until I'm 40 *gahh*
- Two more years until I can rent a car without paying an extra fee
- Three more years until I have to get my own health insurance
- Graduating with a master's in Social Work
- No longer being in school
- Potentially becoming a volunteer with the U.S. Peace Corps
- Taking in all the world has to offer

To the future *cheers*

Oh the Waittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

Anyone who knows me well knows that I am not the most patient person.  Now, that's not for everything.  When it comes to my work and schooling I can be pretty patient (I mean, to be a social worker patience is a virtue).  However, for things like WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE PEACE CORPS is wracking my brain!  I have officially reached the 99.9% positivity of joining the Peace Corps...if they accept me that is.  I just don't like waiting because the longer I have to wait the more I feel like they're tearing my application into tiny little pieces.  Oh well, what can I do but to just

breathe....
