<p>I'm still being tortured by the fact that my counselor sent her forms last Tuesday (by MAIL instead of fax, even though I asked her to fax them), and GMS hadn't gotten them yet as of yesterday... ugh. They told me not to resend anything until I called to check with them on Friday, since they're in CA and I'm in CT. Bah, bah, bah. I want to know!</p>
