Playing the Waiting Game

I have not been blessed with a large supply of patience -- not even a small reserve of it. So you can imagine my difficulty in waiting to hear back from graduate schools about my acceptance into or rejection from their programs for Fall of 2010. I applied to Hunter College, Queens College, Teacher's College at Columbia University, Gallaudet University, and Boston University. I got my acceptance from Boston University, which is good and bad. At least I know I have one program that wants me if all else fails. But I really do not want to go back to Boston. I want to stay in New York!

I get antsy at my job (for many other reasons as well) and find it challenging to concentrate on the task at hand. Things would be easier if I just knew what my choices were so I could make a decision. It would be nice to have some peace of mind about where I'll be this fall. It's as if there is a big obstacle in my way to getting to where I want to be. But really the obstacle is merely time, because the letters will come in the mail in due course. I just have to sit on my hands and stop being so impatient about the future.

At least I have my new puppy, Maggie to keep me occupied, at the expense of my social life. But I don't mind--I am trying to save some money anyway!
