[nagdu] feeling stuck

[Tami Kinney]

Hannah,

Well, freaking out the day before you make that phone call seems a 
pretty reasonable thing to do to me. It's what I would do! /grin/

Remember that we are all here for you and will do whatever we can to 
support you in making the choice that is best for you. By overloading 
you with more advice than you can possibly read, naturally, but it's the 
thought that counts, right?

Sounds like you are in exciting times! I will be hoping that those in 
charge at the training center appreciate that you are a young woman with 
motivation and a future and grasp that scheduling many facets to get 
there can result in unexpected conflicts like this. If they are worth 
their salt, they will encourage you and work things out with you so that 
you can return to training when you have your dog so that you can learn 
what you need to know before you start school.

Best!

Tami
