Patiency is a virtue

I hate to wait. I despise it when people come later then what was planned between me and them. If I could leave 1/2 hour or even hour earlier in order to come on time, why can't they? Of course, there are always exceptions and legitimate excuses and those are forgiven. But pure laziness, I don't think so.
Now when I am applying to medical schools I wish I had more patiency.
It is such a long road. Submitting primary applications, waiting to receive secondaries. Submitting secondaries, waiting for all the letters of recommendation to be received. Of course, at least one recommender is taking his/hers sweet time, while you are checking the STATUS page compulsively every hour each day. Once everything is submitted then you wait, wait and wait. Constantly checking the status page constantly waiting for a phone call. If they invite you for an interview you are lucky and it is a good sign. But the whole process can take till March or in some cases May of next year! For so long my whole life is suspended in waiting.
The waiting game might be for someone else but not for me I am just not patient enough. I have worked my butt of for so long to even come so far and now everything is out of my control and is in someone elses hands. That is what makes the situation so frustrating. Pero, todo tiene su final y eso es solamente un periodo en mi vida. Todo va a pasar y ojala que todo vaya bien!
