Restless

I'm feeling very restless lately. I want things I can't have yet. I want things to be done already, even though I knew that they'd take a while to complete. I'm sick of settling for things that aren't right for me. I thought that at this point in my life, things would be different. I guess maybe this is brought on by my birthday, but it's not like I'm turning 30 or anything. It's just that another year has gone by and I don't feel like I've made any progress. Yes, we bought a house, and yes, it is improving, but it's not done. And the dumb thing is, I knew it wouldn't be done for a long time. I'm a college graduate, working as a nanny, when I thought that by this point (a year and a half after I graduated!) I'd have a job using my degree. I love nannying, but I feel like my education was a waste, since I spent so much money, and didn't enjoy it, and don't get anything more for it now. I guess I'm just itching to get on with the next phase in life, and another year going by makes me feel like I am wasting time just settling. Give it a week and I'll be perfectly fine with how things are going, but turning 24, I can't help but think over things.
