It teaches equanimity (I'm not sure if that's the same thing, exactly), but it comes gradually and is not something that is consciously cultivated. If that makes sense.

The good thing is, you aren't exactly hounding the people. I would say try not to get irritated, but still try to reach them intermittently, and also I would say don't hold the expectation of a response in your head. Then you'll be so excited and suprised when they do finally write you back!

I think part of the problem is that I don't have anything else to do but sit around waiting for them to e-mail or call me back. I've been in this apartment for 2 weeks, and I still don't have all my furniture here, and it's very unnerving. I'll be a little more relaxed once it's here (I've scheduled the movers for tomorrow at 8am). And also, I really don't have any friends outside of my relationship, and that's frustrating as well. I need to be able to hang out with people besides my bf.
