Well...

Well, got some not-so-good news yesterday.  My coordinator called to inform me that D&S would like to wait until after the holidays to begin the process...............   << crickets chirping >>....I know!  I didn't even know what to say.  What could I say?  I mean, it's their baby so I have no choice but to wait.  It's just so hard to wait.  I can't believe they are willing to wait that much more.  I understand traveling from Italy would probably be cheaper and less hectic after the holidays.  So, we are looking at a February transfer date.  Now that really seems like a long time.
