All in vain?

So yesterday, after spending a wonderful afternoon at the lake with 4 of my little cousins, my mom, and my cousin Becky, I look at my mail and there's a letter from the State of Vermont Department of Education. Uh oh. Not good. They are waiting to process my teaching license renewal until they get my transcripts for my course. The letter stated that if they didn't get my information by next Friday, that I'll have to go through the whole process again. (pay ANOTHER $120? no way!) So, I get mad and frustrated and try not to think about it. I know what I have to do. So this morning, I email the woman and tell her that I have extended my course until next week and I'm not sure when I'll get my transcripts. I asked if she could extend my application further or not. I'm not holding my breath.

Then at work I was thinking, ugh, I should have ordered my course in November or December and I would have had it done by now and wouldn't have to worry about this stuff.

But I was also thinking, is this a sign that I'm not supposed to be doing this? Or is this a sign that I need to perservere that much longer (whatever that amounts to)?

I've made up my mind about one thing. I'm going to finish this stupid coursework and feel good about it. The State of Vermont Department of Education can kiss my... no, that's not nice. It's not their fault, it's mine. I didn't get my stuff together to get this all done earlier/on time.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. It's hard not to dwell on the past, but to learn from it. God will provide me with a job doing something- that's all I have faith in right now. And that my car won't fall apart driving to and from work.
