Hello everybody,
As the year comes to a close, it will be a very difficult month for most of us as accounts need to be balanced; client communications need finalising before they go for holidays and expenses will be more since we will be buying presents for colleagues and family.
Also, this is the end of a decade- a stressful time when we all worry about what we've done in the past ten years; how much of has it been meaningful, how many months were wasted chasing down false leads, how many books could we have read, how many more people could we have helped?
And so, my point is, please don't add your application woes to all of the above. You have all done a great job coming this far, and for those of you who have applied themselves, kudos on your confidence and eye-for-detail in navigating these waters. Application evaluation times may slow a bit over the holidays, so take this time to spend time with your loved ones, be thankful for having received an ITA and having applied, for the encouragement and advice from senior forum members and for your good health.
Be well and stay well over the vacation periods and I wish you all a very merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and peaceful New Year.
