Went to China Palace this weekend with some friends. I don't think I've been there since high school. We ordered drinks from the "Exotic Cocktails" list and discovered that "Exotic" must be chinese for "lots and lots of rum!"

Said goodbye to an old high school buddy. He's off to go backpacking around the Himalayas for seven weeks. How amazing is that? Another high school friend will be moving to Korea for a teaching job. And here I am, spending my days in glamorous Ft. Fun. Those apps to Imperial College and such are looking better and better. Just give me time...oh wait, I have too much of that...patience, I just need patience.

I don't HAVE to be doing something, but I'd definitely prefer it. Almost a whole year has gone by and I have little to nothing to show for it. I do appreciate what I have, but I also know that it's not what I want...or at least, not all that I want.
And, not to be too rude, it's a little easier for you to find contentment when at least when aspect of your life is what you wanted. You are happily married and have somebody to share the good and the bad with.
I do enjoy the good that I have, I just normally vent here about the bad, not always so with the good. But I know what I want, and where I want to be and how to get there, I just also know I have to sit here and twiddle my thumbs for a year or two before that happens. And maybe it's pissy of me to whine about it all the time, but I'm not happy and patience has never been one of my virtues and that's just the way I am.

And might I add that I was in a perfectly content mood until I read your comment.

You have at least saved up some though for when plans do go underway, so that is something isn't it?
