Starting to feel like the waiting game is yet another pseudo-test of patience & maturity for us all. Finding myself checking portals, sometimes multiple times per day, feels silly. Not to mention it cripples productivity. I'm telling myself that checking once qd is due diligence, but they WILL email. The waiting game does not go away in our futures either; be it step scores, residency interviews, fellowships, test results for patients...etc.

Best idea is to remain hopeful, with eyes fixed forward not idle, and to have plan As, Bs, and Cs if things don't work out. Hope this resonates with some folks!
