holy crap, it’s happened
I pulled out my cellphone. I opened a browser window. Then I typed in the URL for that last school. I was going to make that phone call and I needed to look up the number.
But my browser auto-completed the URL for the status check instead of the main page, so I thought, why not? I’ll check one last time before I call. Name, password, click.
And there it is, in bold 24 point Verdana: Decision
Now I just have to wait on the mail. Imagine—in a few days, all the waiting will be over. (Unless, of course, they’ve waitlisted me. Now that would be peachy, wouldn’t it?)

Crossing my fingers!
Does Mr. Angst have all his decisions in hand?
No, his decision from the DC school should arrive next week, we think. So we’re meeting with a realtor AND preparing to make the BIG DECISION both next week. Urk!
Isn’t all this fun? We met with a realtor a couple of weeks ago and put our home on the market. Tears!
I am so very interested to see where you guys end up!! Blogging is almost like a soap or reality show. Maybe I should talk to Mark Burnett about a reality show based on the application process to law school. Might as well, there is a show for everything else.
Yeh…when I set the appointment up, the realtor told me, “You have to realize, this isn’t going to be fun.” I do realize it won’t be fun, but what I think I’m not prepared for is having people traipsing in and out of my home.
When it rains is the worst. We have mud/goo on our nice rug that we still need to get removed. You need the rugs for the visual effect, but you want to pull them up to keep them nice. You can’t win.
I’ve also got my fingers crossed!
I’ve sold 8 homes over the years (and was married to a Realtor for 4 years). It is no fun, but it’s also just a means to an end. You’ll be fine.
Good luck on the decision. Also, be prepared for sticker shock in DC. Rents are insane. Most people who buy have to include an escalation clause well above the list price, which is generally the basement for any offers. Madness, I tell you, madness!
