Countdowns

I have a Mac. Macs have this thing called the Dashboard, where you can put various widgets that you want quick access to. I have things like stickies, a calculator, the weather, etc. here. I also have countdown widgets. I LOVE countdowns. They get me motivated and excited for the future. I haven't been using them in the past 6 months for some reason, but started it up again a few weeks ago. Today I did some countdown widget organization and thought I would share.

• 40 days til I get to meet my newest nephew (who isn't born yet, but will be by then)
• 48 days til I take the licensing exam
• 61 days til Academy of Eating Disorders conference in Miami
• 97 days til my amazing friends Kristen and Andrew come to visit
• 106 days til MiniRitt is due (MiniRitt is the nickname of my friends' yet-to-be-named baby because their last name is Rittman).

Those are the only countdowns I have going on right now, although I'm sure things will be added along the way. My brother graduates from high school on June 17th. I could add that one, but I guess 111 days seems too far off. I mean, I have to have limits, right?!

Deadlines and Waiting

Dear internship sites,

There are 8 business days left before December 15, the magical date by which you all said you would tell me about interviews. I have heard from 3 of you, but have 11 left. It would be nice to spread this out and get one notice per day until the 15th, rather than having this uncomfortable silence until the very last moment. I'm sure you have heard of stress and anxiety before, since you specialize in treating these things. My January schedule and, well, specific details of my life sort of hinge on this. So yeah, I'm nervous.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
