I have a feeling this week is going to go painfully slow. Received an email from my placement officer, now I am to expect a call in a few days once she has had the time to evaluate my application files and skill set. Fingers crossed I get some insight by this weekend. Now on to my do-list:
1. Call Rosetta Stone explain the situation hope they let me return/exchange my Mandarin
2. Try to find short-term employment options for the time being
3. Renew my gym membership by another month
4. Look into upcoming mud runs
5. Plan beach weekend getaway
Okay all I need now is motivation to get those completed. I feel like I am sitting still as everyone around me continues to progress. I could have never known I would not being going to China. Just like the other volunteers getting transferred we all are in a tight spot. No job, rooms packed up and some even sold their cars.
Today is one of those bad days that the quote above describes. The weekend kept me busy; thus keeping my mind off the situation. But, as I sit at Starbucks while my friends and family are at work and think "wow I'd be flying out tomorrow to LA for staging" I am bummed.
So what do I do, I turn to pintrest to find motivational quotes that remind me to fight off the blues and welcome the unknown. I mean without going back to the starting line how do I expect to reach the finish? Waiting is frustrating but at least I have something worth waiting to hear about! I apologize in advance to my family and friends for my up and down mood the rest of this week. I cannot thank you all enough for being there for me your words of support and or distraction are just what I need to get up this hill.
