'tick tock' tick tock'

:tongue2:

The confused look seems to be my look of the week. I am so trying not to obsess with the whole approval vs not approval thing.

If I get approved, I have a date in mind and a schedule worked out. I work 12 hours at a retail clinic, so I need to make sure I pace myself well. I will most likely take vacation time and then just bunch the rest of the days together as days off. I plan on working a few extra weekends because I only have to do 6 hours on the weekend.

That is IF I am approved.

If I am not approved, I guess, I will have to go through the whole appeal process, which does not seem too difficult. The difficulty will come if I receive a final denial.:smile2:

But, at this point, I am stil just in the waiting phase and I cannot focus on something I cannot control.

Once this is all done, I am seriously thinking about getting another job, maybe at the beginning of the year...I will have to see. I just began a doctorate program.:thumbup: I hope by the time I finish these biostats and epidemiology courses, I gain some knowledge...
