An ellipses. That"..." at the end of a sentence that makes you think, "What's wrong?" It may be just me, but an ellipses at the end of a sentence drives me insane.
Because I can't help but be selfish and think, "What did I do wrong?"
And my youth pastor, Matt, always puts an ellipses at the end of his sentences. He just e-mailed us all going to Peru our schedule for the next month. When we have fundraisers and when we have mandatory meetings. Well, he said we had one on Sunday, June 19th. I flipped out.
And here's why: I've honestly been waiting for this trip since we got home last July. I've been counting the days since we found out when we'd leave. For the past month, I've been able to say the precise amount of days until we leave for the airport.
That's how excited I've been. But, when I got that e-mail. I freaked out, and couldn't help but momentarily think I was leaving to go back to a place I love a day earlier.
But then I caught myself, and realized that Sunday is actually the 20th. So, I was a tad confused. Where we in fact leaving a day earlier, or had he just typed wrong?
So, I e-mailed him back. I told him that that particular Sunday was the 20th. So, he updated it and resent it out.
"Thanks to Kori Needham for picking up on it..."
"..."
Look again.
"..."
Was I not supposed to tell him that he'd made a gigantic typo? It makes me so severely self conscious, you have no idea.
But, besides the point.
DAYS UNTIL I LEAVE FOR PERU: 36
