A quick visit from EGA, who is using the remainder of her Spring break to visit a couple of grad schools. It was interesting to watch as she and CLA vibrated at different frequencies. The anxiety level for both is pretty high, although the reality is that what they are each dealing with are attractive choices. They are stressing out over the desert menu.
You'd think we'd be somewhat used to this, but the last time, when EGA was applying to undergrad institutions there was none of it. She applied early decision to one school only, got in, and that was that. Although there was some minor stress about whether she'd made the correct choice (she had) there was none of this. It has almost been like living in an apiary, a constant, low level hum of unease emanating from them both.
