running out of patience

I feel like I've spent most of 2011 waiting.

 Waiting for... 

deadlines,

for the day to be over,

for my time at university to finish,

for phone calls, texts, emails, replies,

for results, hearing dates, hearing results,

for the end of the week...

And it's frustrating: because important things depend on the outcome of waiting and I can't exactly do anything about it either but wait and wait some more. 

By the time the waiting ends I then realise that I have just wasted a whole load of valuable time. 

I'm worried that I will spend my whole life doing this and realise when it's too late that I have no more time left to actually live my life.
