Since Kriston suggested I do a waiting thread I thought I'd break out of my shy self to start one. So if anyone else is waiting this month like myself, please speak up so we can share the experience.
Thanks,
moni

Good luck! Keeping all fingers crossed!

I'm glad you did!

Do be warned, though: we tend to get a little silly on waiting threads. It's all an effort to keep the waiting person distracted, so it's relevant to the thread. (Or at least that's what we tell ourselves...) But it is very, very silly!

So how are you doing with the wait, moni? Are you doing okay, or is it killing you?

Thanks for that dazed& confused.
I don't mind things getting silly Kriston.
I've been doing pretty good with the wait...but after reading your "is it killing you bit" I'm a little nervous.

Are you just getting started? As in the June 15th cycle? Or are you still waiting from the May cycle? One of course has results right around the corner, while the other a good month or so. Pull up a chair, if that's the case! If the answer's yes, you just might bump up to "closest family" on my personal map!

Oh! Sorry! I just meant that some people get really wound up and some are calm about it. I wondered which you were.

FWIW, I did well until the very end. I didn't think about it too much, just came here to joke around. So you certainly don't have to be nervous! In fact, I wouldn't recommend it!

Company is good....we applied "in secret", so the waiting was harder. I only found this board after DS was in. We also made the mistake of sending everything off two weeks early, making the wait that much longer. Who was it that applied on the 16th? That's a glutton for punishment, LOL!

Joking and chatting are great, but the wait goes faster if you try to put it out of your mind for a few weeks. It's VERY rare that they send out letters any faster than 2 weeks, and it's been closer to 4 weeks these past few cycles.

Dottie- Our application got there for the June 16th cutoff. I got a nice e-mail from the application review guy to say they received everything and we would hear from them in 3-4 weeks. So we have a bit of a wait. It would be nice to meet you all Dottie.
Kriston- I'm fine really Not very nervous at all. I'm sure I will be a little more though when the time gets closer.
Thanks again for your support...and have a fine day!

Good Luck, Moni!

I was the glutton for punishment that Dottie refers to...it was a very long but rewarding wait.

Good luck!
