Let me tell you a little story. This girl is smart. She goes to college and decides she wants to figure out a career to make her happy...she chooses psychology because it is interesting. She likes to help people (but doesn't have the balls to be a nurse) so she decides that a PsyD would be nice since that is more clinical than a PhD
...fastforward through 8 years of hard work & procrastination & late nights. A few things lie in the path to get the dang degree. One is called internhip. You have to apply to places. Then you wait to see IF you get an interwiew. Then you go on interviews (and pay $$ to get there, have a suit, get a hotel, blah blah blah)...THEN you rank where you want to go & they rank who they want and MAYBE you get matched somewhere. That's a maybe because in 2011, 21% of people did NOT match...the had to wait another year and do it again! SO, if you guessed, I am that dumb girl. I chose this dumb career that I love when I could have gotten a different degree and been making $$ now and not have to move away...
So my current status is that I have gotten 4 NOs for interviews. No YESs. That is really sucky. I still have 11 more sites to hear from, but it blows chunks that I have to wait...wait...wait...check email incessantly...OH THERE'S AN EMAIL FROM A SITE!!!...Oh they don't want to email me (We regret to inform you...) & then wait...
You get the picture.
URGH *@*%#?!!! I mean sorry for the negativity when I have been tyring to be positive, but for real that's how it is...SO I've told myself to get over it and not think about what my standing is until I hear back from the rest of the sites I applied to. SCHNIKES
