Turns out, I will have it back by the end of January...way longer than I thought. :( My plan had been to prepare to query through January. Now I feel like I have to wait FOREVER to see if I even made it halfway to that bus.

I want to do something to somehow force the answers to come faster and I can't. <br /><br />All I can do is check Twitter for the billionth time and, really, for what? I follow the agents who have my partial/full but do I really think they're going to be discussing it on Twitter? haha. So, yeah...I am with you. Waiting sucks. But I'll keep you company until your bus comes!!
