I will readily admit that I am the type of person who reads the end of a book first. Well, not immediately first. I like to read the first chapter or two so I can at least get a sense of who the characters are and what’s going on. Then my curiosity forces me to jump right to the end to see what happens to everyone. I still read the rest of the book of course, because even though I know the end, I like to see what happens to cause that ending. I have yet to read a book without jumping to the end to see what happens.
So, with this in mind, can you even imagine how I’m going crazy right now not knowing what’s going to happen in September? For the last year my plan has been to finish grad school this summer and get a school library job. The grad school part is almost done – just three days left until my comprehensive final, and a little over two weeks left of class. By this time next month, I will have my degree.
It’s the job part that’s getting to me. I know I have to be patient and stay optimistic that I’ll find something. And even if nothing comes through, I know I can continue part-time at my current job and find a second job to balance everything out. But the not knowing, that’s the hard part. If I’m too impatient to read a whole book to find out the end, how can I possibly stay patient while I’m waiting to find out where I’ll be working in September? I need to know what happens next!!!
