I have always hated waiting for things. I was the kid that got up at 4 am on Christmas. I was the teenager that went to the teacher after the test and asked her to grade mine first. I am the adult who would rather go hungry than sit in a long drive-thru line at Taco Bell.
So, waiting for my precious daughter to be born is hard enough (of course, I don't want her coming early!!), but now I am waiting to hear from University of Maryland regarding my graduate application...and I think that's going to break me.
I know they're looking at my application, because it's closed and I am not allowed to submit anything else. So, what's taking so long, already???!?!? I submitted all my materials back in July! I finished my GRE's, got all my letters of recommendation, wrote my dumb "I want to go to College Park because..." essay...and then was informed that I had to wait until the deadline for applications had passed before they looked at mine. When is that, I asked innocently. December 17th, she said. I nearly dropped the phone! Six months! I have to wait six months?!?
So, then we got pregnant, and it seemed ok to wait, because I've had other things on my mind! But now that the deadline has passed, I am just dying to know what the result is. I cannot wait to hear, especially because then I can get my student loans, man! I want my monies.
Ack.

Man, I hated the waiting game. I don't think I heard anything from the earliest schools until the first week of March, some not until May. Bastards:)
Man, I'm going to go crazy waiting that long! Between waiting for the baby and waiting for grad school...UGH.
