There are numerous songs about waiting. Most of them are about love.
I know ... I've googled it.
Tom Petty sings "The waiting is the hardest part" ... he's most likely talking about love (see below). "Wait" by the Beatles - telling a girl to "wait till I come back to your side." (Lost love). Foreigner sang "Waiting for a girl like you." (Cheesy 80's love).
At least Billy Bragg wades through politics and hope while he waits for the Great Leap Forward.
The end of May will represent the seventh month of "waiting" for me, to see where I'm going to end up. Having just completed a four-week intensive CELTA course (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults for those who hate annoying acronyms), I'm ready to find my next destination, paper in hand.
