   AngielaJolieFSU, It was great meeting you also. I don't think of you as the girl with the blue dress, but as the one with the red coat of perfect color and cut. It was a whirlwind of a day, and I fell asleep as soon as I got back home. I'm looking ...

    Dear Evaamber, Thanks for the encouragement. Tomorrow's the big day for me, and I'm finally feeling a bit nervous. I'm finishing up the last of the scholarship essays now. I had budgeted plenty of time for them this week, but my kids have been hom...

    Dorshee and Evaamber, Thanks for the details. I appreciate you both taking the time to post during such a busy weekend. Being rather pragmatic, I find it comforting to know the numbers well before my February interview date. Evaamber, I am still b...
