I’ve been trying to be pessimistic about this Odyssey application, but dangit, I’m a dreamer. I can’t help but think about it, dream about it, and plan for it. I’m setting myself up for a hefty letdown, but I can’t help it.
Since I applied early, I should be hearing something soon, within a few days. My stomach has had butterflies all week. I heard from one friend that I had listed as a reference that they had contacted her with questions. She promised that she was very nice to me. It’s all I can do to keep from contacting the other reference to make sure she’s responded and encourage her to say nice things too.
I need to work on my pessimism.
