1 year 7 months

I've been working in the church office for 1 year 7 months. I've been in a different environment for 1 year 7 months. I haven't decided exactly what my designation in the office is for 1 year 7 months. I've been living day by day for 1 year 7 months. I have been missing people for 1 year 7 months

A friend is leaving for Michigan in exactly 2 weeks. I'm not sure how I'll take her departure. I'm sad and I'll miss her loads. I'm so totally envious. An ex-student (more like friend now) is leaving for Lancaster College to study linguistics. UK beckons... A friend is currently in Melbourne studying... and soaking up the Australian air. A friend is getting married this Saturday.

People around me are moving on to new things. (Even my mom got some NEW OSIM apparatus from my aunt). New things... I also want. Haha... I wonder if this is termed COVETIOUSNESS? ENVY? JEALOUSY? RESTLESSNESS?

No idea... but whatever it is, I'm dying to move on to new things. I think it's a case of a very bad habit and an insatiable need to have variety. I will admit, it's terribly hard for me to stay put in one place. I mean, in my third year teaching I wanted to get out of the school. Stayed for another 2.5 years and quit the profession altogether. Ok, in my defense, this isn't a fair statement because it wasn't like I hated teaching or anything. Just felt that it's time to dedicate x amount of years (for now it's 1 year 7 months) to work at the church. Even with food I need variety. I also think that a pearl button on this white shirt makes it a different white shirt from the one with a plastic button. I'm in the deep end here.

But yeah... new things. I want new things. Everyone likes new things, right?
