   Thanks for the advice. I haven't had a whole bunch of hospital experience, but this year I am celebrating my 6th year working with people with mental retardation. I thought that would be some good experience but apparently not. I think I am going to ...

   I didn't get into Columbia, but so far some good things are happening. One of my poems is being published and I get to read it at a poetry festival. I also have a job interview. Things are okay.

   It's great that HIV infection is so low, but unfortunate that Hep C is so high. I think that my downfall is that I don't have any experience working with people with HIV/AIDS. I know a lot about the science and the social aspects, but I don't have an...

   That's excellent! I'm really into HIV/AIDS prevention and I believe that needle/syringe exchange programs are beneficial to stopping the spread. It's great that you are willing to work with that community because not many people are willing to do so.

    You're telling me! Sheesh! I've been waiting since September when I first turned in the application. I suppose another day or two won't hurt.

    I'm not sure, but I believe a poster from earlier called Columbia and spoke with Jose. He said that they would be sending out the rest of the decisions later this week. I hope mine gets here tomorrow.

    I am also waiting. It's frustrating. I've been checking my email all day long, but the decision didn't come today. I hope it does come tomorrow because I don't want to lose my mind.
