This is my friend, Wadih. He is from Lebanon. I know that I have talked about him before! He makes fun of me a lot because it seems like I always have a deadline! I ALWAYS DO! My entire thought process is completely dependant upon the next time that I am supposed to be somewhere or do something. Beause of him, I am trying to live a little more in the 'moment.' I still am always thinking about how much time we have left though. I call it responsibility, Wadih calls it dumb. Our differences were proven again on Saturday morning in Poland. Our group had to be downstairs at 7:45 am for breakfast. I woke up at 7:20 and made everyone else in the room wake up. We needed to be downstairs in 25...20...15..10... minutes... Wadih just laughed at me... And showed up downstairs around 7:55 or 8:00.. Our group had already left for breakfast. He made it, but it totally showed our differences. Wadih says he grew up knowing to add an extra fifteen minutes onto any time that was given to him. And maybe he would show up by THAT time... Maybe not.. If not, it wasn't a tragedy... I showed up downstairs on time....for me.... He showed up on time... for him..... We ate breakfast together... :)

Well sis, we are alike after all...I am guilty of the exact same thing! I'm always looking at the clock and figuring out how much time I have left to do something and living with a deadline constantly! :) see we aren't complete opposites! :)
