Oh, that is so very true. I know in my case, I am literally all alone right now. My biggest cheerleader, my husband, is in Iraq, and I'm lucky to be able to talk to him once or twice a month. My very good friend has left Germany for the summer to be with her dad who had bypass surgery. So that leaves my long distance friends and you guys on the board to share the journey.
I liken this board to the camaraderie I saw built during Rush on my campus when I transferred. The girls going through the process together seemed to really bond. They got together after all the parties and shared their thoughts and dreams, their frustrations, their ultimate goals. The excitement was almost contagious. Now, I know that AI is different than recruitment in so many different ways, this being one of them. The PNAM is highly unlikely, short of this site, to have people around her going through the same thing, to bond with, to share with. We're all excited. We're all a little anxious, wondering about our futures and our potential new sisterhood. That is why I am personally so thankful for this site.
But for the sake of others, I'll probably just PM for now, or reply to others' threads.
