What store sells virtues? I need to pick up some patience

Joan went to work today in Girona and I slept in until 12:00 so I have no idea if he has even tried to call to tell me...something. I am not good at waiting for things. Someone told me once, I think it was Oprah, that waiting is like a mini-vacation from your day. I think she is wrong. Waiting in lines at the grocery store I can sometimes handle. Waiting in line for concert tickets-ok. Waiting to move into our flat...not going so well. Waiting for Joan to call-about impossible.

His phone is off and I have no way of reaching him. His parents are at work, his brother is at school, the maid is here but she doesn't speak english and it's to early for me to call anyone in the states. That's another thing I hate waiting for-calling the states. Midnight here is usually a good time for me to pick up the phone and call but last night I was awake until 3 a.m. talking to everyone, which I don't mind really but that can't keep happening.

I should be packing but I know myself and I know that I won't do it until the last minute because I know I work best under pressure.

When I talked to my family last night, everyone asked me if I was coming back. I want to because I miss everyone so much. I miss Tink, who I'd much rather tell my stories in person than through this blog, I miss Heather Rose and our Star-books trips, I miss Velder and her crazy stories of her crazy nights, Nikki for being a great roommate, The 4 pack across the hall who know how to cheer me up and have a great laugh. I miss my Florida friends, Heather who shares my love of traveling and who I wish could travel here to see me and Jessica who is busy working and dancing in New York City and who about brings me to tears when I talk to her on the phone because I miss her so much. I guess time will tell. I can only hope to get all my sorority sisters here to visit me, at least once.

(Come on girls, it's not that expensive...all you need money for is your plane ticket and I'll take care of the rest!)

On that note, I better pack or do something productive.

Love Love Love
