I loved reading this story - I feel it is absolutely the real version of what happens between a pnm and her mom/friend/mentor on Bid Day when the pnm doesn't get her first choice.
If you have been in their shoes (and I say "their" because this process definitely sucks in the mom/friend/mentor to the drama) you can feel the stress and tension, the emotion and angst that they have been experiencing. And, then, that whole pref day/bid day experience - well it is spot on.
I am sooooo hoping Lucy is giving SK every chance they deserve. I hope that she gets some sleep, and eats a few good meals, can think about something other than rush for a whole day and see if she is feeling less emotionally scarred. She will, no doubt, have regrets if she walks away. I can guarantee it.
And, I hope all of us that often get pissy with moms and pnms who cry to us the few days after rush about not getting their first choice will remember Lucy and this thread and how easy it is to let the emotion and intensity of recruitment get in the way of rational thinking.
Sending warm thoughts to Lucy and all of the other pnms this month who are digging through their drawers looking for their one pair of big girl panties in the middle of all those Victoria Secret thongs!
