I’ve never really considered myself a “patient” person, however, I have a feeling this is all about to change. Recently, I officially found out that notification of admission decisions for the schools I’ve applied to will not start until early/mid-May. Now, I am an avid believer of how quickly ‘time flies’, yet this tidbit of info does not do anything to contribute to this phrase. It’s only April 7th and at best, I still have at least 23 more days of waiting (probably a bit more). How will I pass the next month or so, without checking my application status’ online? How will I be able to go to the mailbox everyday looking for that package bearing the letterhead from one of those schools in DC. What, oh, WHAT do I do? I know that I’m not alone and that virtually every student at some point has had this incredible feeling of anxiety and anticipation. Perhaps I should take comfort that I am not alone, focus on my current studies at hand, and breathe.
