Ana's Boredom

This morning Ana gave me a look. A look that said "I'm glad you want to get to know me but this is getting old." It was the look of pure boredom, the look of someone who wanted to move onto the next rock, the next step. And I have to admit, I might have given her the look right back. We were in agreement.

She still doesn't speak but she did nod enthusiastically when I said "we've got to make a few changes here".

We've been sitting on this rock just a little too long. There is so much climbing left to do and we haven't moved an inch. I am tired of sweeping the same ol' boulder, never quite getting it clean because we are outdoors and while we sleep, the wind brings the dirt right back. We are in a rut here, waiting for the next step to reveal itself but what we have failed to realize is that it's been staring at us ever since we got here. It's right there in front of us.

Time to pack up our bags and move up a couple feet.

It's time to start studying in a new way. Because it should never take me over a month to get to page 21. It's not that I don't want the knowledge... I do. What I do not want, however, is to have to put off taking my test for a year or so. At my current rate, that would be the case. Truthfully, that is not only not necessary but silly in a strange kind of way.
