Ever had the feeling like you can hardly wait for something?

Almost a month ago, I got a colored overlay for reading. Ever since, I was very excited about getting filters (glasses). Today I went for the screening, and after I was a bit less excited, but now I'm back to being able to hardly wait for them.
Ever had that feeling where even though you know a week or a day or whatever isn't really that much time, but you want it to hurry up and pass? I guess I don't really want to wish away time, I can just hardly wait to get the filters!

The first time I had that feeling was the summer after the Who shot J.R. cliffhanger aired. I was in school and you know how you wish the summer would never end. Not that summer. It was the longest summer I remember.I couldn't wait to see shoy J.R. I just found out months ago that the episode that revealed the secret didn't air until November! The last thing I couldn't wait for is the airing of The Tudors the Showtime series.Showtime started airing the promos for it in January and didn't air the first episode until April.Both were worth the wait.

I did that before, wishing for a summer to pass. But I wanted it to end so I could see who shot Mr. Burns on the Simpsons. I was a bit disappointed there.
So The Tudors is actually good? I kept seeing previews when I was watching The L Word. I wish The L Word seasons weren't spaced so far apart. Maybe I'll have to watch The Tudors sometime (in between studying ochem and who knows what else).

Who shot Mr Burns was cute. Yes Tudors is great. It is not your parnents version of Henry VIII. There is a lot of love scenes, hey its Showtime, but it is good.

I hated summer vacations when I was a kid. I wanted to be in school. From the time I was 9 years old I worked in the fields picking beans, strawberries, you name it to pick up some spending money. I was brought up by the saying....idle hands are the devil's workshop. It wasn't out of necessity but rather to teach us the value of a dollar earned. Besides that there was no TV then and the radio soap operas never ended and if I remember correctly they went on all year without summer vacations. Of course, they were only 15 minutes a day so they could be pre-recorded for the summer months. +

LOL - oh yeah I get this all the time.
For instance (although not nearly as significant) I just watched the extended trailer to the new Harry Potter movie and I am bursting with anticipation now! Not that I wasn't completely excited about it anyway. That is the most recent one though.
I think the closer they are the more it bugs us. :)

LOL - I hope you get them both soon! I know how much you've been looking forward to that new camera :)

I got my camera on Tuesday and my glasses today!
Midterm on Friday (tomorrow) so I still haven't tried out my camera. But I am wearing the glasses right now. They help quite a bit. I think the problem is, I'm hoping for perfect vision and that probably isn't going to be possible. But my vision is significantly improved.

When I was working it happened at least every two years. When our tour overseas was coming to an end we had three choices where we would like to serve our next tour. I always put exotic places like London, Paris, Rome, and the like. It seemed like ages before the answer came back and most of the time I was somewhat disappointed because it wasn't what I had chosen. The first time, however, I almost got what I asked for but was later turned down and given someplace which turned out to be better. Wanted the Embassy in Madrid but got the Consulate in Barcelona.
I think it is the nature of the beast to be anxious to wait for something hoping that the end result will meet with your expections. Good luck on the new glasses I hope they will improve your vision and live up to your expectation. +

It can be a book,a story,a TV series,a film and a scientific discovery .As long as it is amusing,novel and a bit comlex, i am enjoying these things deadly .I keep reading a habit.I almost can not wait to see the end of the story every time i start a book.
