    Oh Sole!

    Deep breaths . . . this sounds like a self-confidence crisis to me. I wish you could see what I see! An amazing, brilliant, beautiful, strong, supportive, fantastic young woman. Trust me on this! I have complete and utter faith in you and your abilities.

    It sounds like being so close to finishing the application procedure is making it worse, too!

    You CAN do this. I don't believe you can't write; that's certainly not the sense I get from your blog.

    Get to it. Grit your teeth, deep breath, say 'stop it, stop it, I know I can do it, stop the bullshit, I know I can do it!' LOL or something less dorky.

    It's absolutely do-able. Go girl!

    You will be fine. I promise. Know that everyone who writes such a statement feels fraudulent... but I truly believe that you will be okay. You are clearly an intelligent and brilliant woman... You CAN do this. Have belief.

    love, Z
