It's been a while since I've updated the happs in my life so here it goes.....
I'm still waiting on the register. :(
I've read a lot the blogs of some FSO hopefuls who are just kind of stuck on the register. Their score, for their particular cone, is so low they know they won't get an invite. So, they wait, and they try again. And the cycle goes on and on.
With the FSS, particularly OMS, we are in high demand. What are the chances of getting stuck and again off? Apparently, very high. Reading those blogs, I always thought that would never happen to the OMS register. At some point the register would clear itself just like last year. There were 80+ spot last year. This year there are only 44. 10 were invited to the January class, and 8 for the March class.
And still I wait.
No one told me that waiting on the register would be this stressful. It's my own fault really. My score is ridiculously low. I am prepared to apply again and start all over but the announcement hasn't hit for April 2013 and last year it was out by now.
This is so crazy.
So now I'm stuck trying to wait out this whole budget thing in Congress and at the same time watch my place on the register drop lower and lower because more people are being added to register with a higher score than mine.
I'm hoping and praying that there are a lot of people on the DNC and the July class is an extremely large class. I would absolutely be devastated if I aged off. So this is where I am. Why does this have to be so freaking difficult?
In other news. The vacation is back on. I'm going to J for 5 weeks in August/September. Yay! It's not Africa but it's a close second. He's taking me to Paris for my birthday. I'm so excited about that because I'll finally get to buy a painting from the street artists in the courtyard in Montmarte. I also want to go to the beach so I'm trying to get him to extend it the celebration to the South of France. I mean it's only fitting.
There is a lesson with all of this stress/drama. Wish I knew what it was.
