I am now in a good mood. Let me explain...nope...too much, let me sum up. So I started applying for the doctoral clinical internship/residency year approximately mmmmmm 5 months ago. Applications were sent out approximately 6 weeks ago. About 1 1/2 weeks ago, I got my first rejection, followed by my second. But yesterday...drumroll please...I GOT MY FIRST INTERVIEW at one of my top choices, which by the way, happens to have a pretty damned good reputation both in the Chicago area and nationally. So---that is exciting. Now I only have to wait for about 15 other places to let me know my interview status. Fortunately, this is a time-limited wait, as they are all required by APPIC rules to contact us and inform us of our status by December 15th. As long as I get 3-4 more interviews, I will be golden and won't have to worry about not matching....which would really suck because that would mean doing this whole process all over again. I'd rather become a housewife.
But alas...move over beethoven...because I may very well land an awesome placement...fingers crossed.
