He explained how I'd have to go through metal detectors just to get to class and, more importantly, that he'd rather work at any of the 100+ cc's that exist b/t here and his hometown before going back there.<BR/><BR/>But LD you're right...it's the not knowing when to jump ship for anything that comes along or wait patiently until your own resources are exhausted.AcadeMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510282285225998011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759951.post-55272915459366779102009-01-14T13:19:00.000-08:002009-01-14T13:19:00.000-08:00I feel your pain-- that whole being in limbo and n...I feel your pain-- that whole being in limbo and not knowing whether to charge forward or to hold back.

(I'm probably just saying this because that's a semblance of my own plan.) On the other hand, if you already have your application materials ready to go this season, what's it going to hurt to send out one more application to the cc in your partner's hometown? It's not like printing out one more batch of paper would be a dramatic break from the chill out option. Besides, you aren't going to know if you'd like it there unless you give it a closer look (IF you make it onto their short list-- there's no guarantee, but here's hoping). If you don't, you'll always wonder (well, at least, I would).kenandbellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03273821768934417650noreply@blogger.com
