So I Just Got Some Inspiring News ...
Almost as soon as I passed the OA, I started worrying about whether my score would be high enough to get me off the Register. I plan to take the German language test, my success at which would raise my score to 5.57. Last year, even a 5.4 would've pretty much guaranteed an invite to an A-100, but this year, matters seem to be different.
Anyway, I've been faithfully following the progress of another Consular aspirant who has the same constellation of scores. She was put on the Register in mid-June and had been languishing ever since. I felt her agony before the OA; after it, I really identified with it. Every time invitations to an A-100 went out and she didn't get one, my heart felt a little heavier.
Well, this afternoon, I read on her blog that she got an invitation to the January A-100! I'm so happy for her -- and grateful. I'd just been praying for a sign, something to give me hope -- and her news was it! OK, so my joy in her success has a selfish tinge, but I'm totally thrilled for her and thankful for the inspiration her success will bring not only to me, but to others!
Yaaaaay, for the Bfiles!

I know, I was SO excited to hear that...can't wait to hear when you're next, Lady! And, then it's my turn, I've decided. Well...gotta pass that OA first, I guess. I'll be studying, rehearsing, preparing throughout the rest of this year into VERY late January. Ugh.
Thank you, Destinaish! And I'm wishing you the best for your OA in January.
I *hate* hypos. Any tips?
