I struggle a lot with this...I think: would it really be that hard for the WAS to give SOME indication of hopefulness in this whole thing?? It's hard to accept that I have to really be aware of my expectations and keeping them pretty low. I got myself really into a knot this week with feeling upset about very brief / cool email responses from WAS--not even necessarily cold, but just...impersonal in a way. (you know what I mean, you wrote about this experience on your thread! : )) I find the brevity makes the email seem like it's been written in 5 seconds...and from there I feel / interpret that I am so peripheral and insignificant to the W's world. Like I am only worth 5 seconds!! I spend more time/care/words writing to acquaintances than in what I sometimes get from her.
