Patience is a virtue

Maybe you know that I live life in the fast lane. Not that I do anything crazy, but when I decide I want something, I want it now. I want things to happen fast. I want my test scores back fast, I want people to write letters of recommendation fast, I want to move now, and not wait, that kind of stuff. And pretty much my life has been a study in patience. Obviously, I need this.
There are some things that I am ok doing slow, certain decisions, but somehow those are always the ones that need to happen fast. The other decisions that need more finesse, that take time, those are the ones I want to do more quickly. So I spend a lot of time telling myself to slow down, to chill out, reminding myself that other people don't move as quickly as I do.
Its a good thing the Lord knows what I need, because I would surely mess up my life on my own.

I don't think you've made any hasty, horrid decisions!

PS-I will definitely go car shopping with you when you need to. We follow the Griffiths' rule-never buy on the first day. :)
