vw, that's great. Not the being so upset part, but the perservering through it, and choosing to talk to your prof, and get everything ironed out as to how you move forward.
I'm so proud of you. Two iPods, says I.

We're gonna be a two iPod household. Is that good enough? ;)

I'm not sure of the exact date when they changed, but sometime in the past couple of years, Subaru decided that they'd rather be making light trucks with great emissions ratings than big cars with lousy emissions ratings, and so new Forresters are currently being built on truck frames, making them real SUVs, instead of big boxy station wagons. (Because I'm nowhere near being in the market for a car, I haven't looked into exactly how this has affected the safety/mileage ratings, but if I were buying a car, I'd be looking at used Forresters rather than new ones.)

Skipping to the end to say that I have a 2004 Forester that I love madly.

t weeping quietly in the corner
This day. I cannot bear this day. I've been stressed out on work for months, and I had the brilliant plan to add home buying into the plan. I have heard nothing, nothing about our offer all day long now. I am in tears and can't work. I am a moron and obviously not emotionally stable enough to buy a house.
I'm so disappointed in myself right now I want to hurt something. Punch a wall or window or bite my tongue in two.

From my reading, I thought the Forrester is still being built on the car frame. It's the other one that's being built on the truck frame.

If I only had a brain...
ND, housebuying IS inherently emotional.
On the way to closing on our first house, my husband had to stop the car so he could throw up. Seriously. This is deep painful stuff.

Hey, Nora...want me to come get you and we can go for a disappointing cup of tea? Sounds like we're having similar emotional days...

Trust my rage
vw, that's great to hear. I'm very impressed that you were able to get yourself from sounding so upset this morning to so "I've handled the situation" now. Sounds like you deserve an iPod just for that.
(and I hope that didn't sound condescending. I was just trying to say that sometimes we are our own worst enemies and it sounds like you triumphed over that today)
