   Leo: Here’s the mail.


  Denise: Did I get anything?
  Leo: No, sorry. Are you expecting something?
  Denise: Yeah, I’m waiting for a decision letter about my application to the McQ program. I should hear any day now.
  Leo: Have you thought about calling and checking on the status?
  Denise: I called last week and my application was still under review. I was told that a decision was still pending 1.
  Leo: I’m sure it was just awaiting approval. There is no chance it’ll be rejected. You’re an ideal candidate and you’re sure to get good news in a day or two.
  Denise: I hope you’re right. In the meantime, I’m on pins and needles. Every time the mail carrier walks by, my heart skips a beat.
  Leo: I know this is important to you, but you’ve got to keep it in perspective. It’s not a life-or-death situation.
  Denise: I am keeping it in perspective. If I don’t get into this program, it’s only the end of my career, my dream, and my future – that’s all!
