The Waiting Game

It is the fourth of July and while everyone is celebrating, there is that gnawing tension in this household until MCAT result day - July 6. I still don't understand why it takes the extra week. I guess that even graders need that summer vacation and it happened to correspond with my test week. So be it. . .I will know in less that 48 hours how the results play out. So much seems to hinge on this, who else I will ask for recommendation letters, should I put up my study books (a great excuse not to clean our office, by the way) should I have stuff completely done on my application or wait, etc. It truly reminds me of an approaching delivery date, the pain and surprise await! And I hope joy!!
