OK, this isn’t quite a chore, but it is a thing I get stuck doing quite frequently.
Waiting for buses.
Come rain, hail or shine I find myself springy-stepping towards the bus stop in the morning, and then after my classes I lag, dragging my heels to the other one. I stand at the bus stop by the pizza place and wonder if I can persuade my parents that they want pizza for dinner, or the one by the music school and wonder why I can never hear music.
It should be noted that I am not perceived as a patient person. When I tell my parents I’m patient, they React with amusement or skepticism. The general consensus is that I am not patient. I don’t like waiting for buses: it’s boring and I can never quite predict when one is going to arrive. They appear at will, which is not something I enjoy. I have a fondness for routine and structure.
This is why, at a wide variety of times during the week, I can be seen at a bus stop, staring sulkily into the distance.

I hear you – I hate waiting and I know patience is a virtue but it seems as if it is one I have neglected to cultivate … sigh once again much work needed for my spiritual growth … sigh 😉

I suppose it’s something that will come with time; it may be a virtue, so I suppose I’l just a little less virtuous than I could be.
I may have to run a google search 🙂

Will do! Practicing it sounds like a lot of work though…

I know!!! Maybe we should be content with our flaw – it probably adds character now that I think about it. 🙂

Quite. Ah well, I’ll call off the google search and focus on literature. I’m sure someone much smarter than myself has praised having flaws.
