I went to the guidance counselor's office this afternoon, thinking of excuses, when all I really wanted to ask was, "Well, how far along are you on my application?". Instead, "Hi, [Guidance Coach], are there any other parts of the application that I need to sign?" He looked through his stacked black trays, opened my folder.
"When is this due?" I peeked over and saw the pages conspicuously untouched.
"November first."
"Hmmm...". I pointed to the box on the front of the first page, which read Early Admission, November 1. "I'll get back to you at the end of the week," he said.
I was appeased.
