I am impatient and possibly impetuous.

The waiting to hear about interviews? Killing me! I actually looked up what sites have application due dates beyond December 15th in order to strategize my plan of attack if I get an insufficient number of interviews, or none at all.

I often remind my clients that when it come to the unknown, we all remain very much like children. We imagine monsters where there are only whisps of rumor and worry that forebode nothing more than our own irrational fears that will soon be proven wrong. Children imagine scary and elaborate answers in the absence of truth. Monsters are borne to explain fears of the dark, storks emerge in the place of the womb, and absent parents become heroes and villains in the absence of knowing.

Someone speak the truth to me and dispel my crazy making.

Nicole darling.. first of all, I know you are going to do great. Secondly (and don't shoot the messenger) but if things don't turn out as you might desire.. this is always next year. From the peanuts that I know about this process.. those here that have done it twice always score the second time around for sure.

keep us updated, as you are in my prayers and I am sure many others'!
