I know I already posted about this but it bears repeating:
When did it get to be March? Half of my brain still thinks it’s January. Spring Break is next week, for goodness’ sake. (And St. Patrick’s Day, but that’s another, much more fun, post.)
I don’t write many checks any more, and checks used to be my internal clock reset button. I need a new way to convince myself that time is still passing.
Have you noticed that I’ve been pretty good for the last couple of days and haven’t bitched about a particular school not making any decision on my application?
I’m actually quite pleased that my online status remains at “complete”—mostly because I want to make sure that my letter of interest has time to get to them.
The letter also provides me with a ready-made excuse to call them next week if nothing has changed and say, “Hey, I sent some additional materials—have they been received? Can you tell me when I might hear something on my application, since I’ve been waiting twelve weeks?”
I’ll be sweet as pie and force that smile into my voice and they will Love Me. And they will offer me admission right then and there.
Or they’ll tell me that my application has been stuck behind the Xerox machine for three months and they just found it. Hm…that would suck.
