Is it too late to request something from others?

[lyra]

There is only exactly 10 days and I am worried it may be too late to request a letter from my teachers. I need it to apply for another school. I have been procrastinating because I was busy and I didnt feel I am good enough. However, there are 10 days left, and I worry it is too short. So I decided to ask the iching. It said 31.2> 9

31.2 says to tend to the food within. I interpreted it as continuing to do what i am doing? But I saw 9.2, which said that I shouldn't even ask them because I will be rebuffed?
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Did you mean hex 37.2 > 9?

There seems to be little point in asking, as they will probably take far too long to do the letter and you will miss the deadline anyway. So wait until next time but plan well ahead in the future, don't leave the issue to the last minute like you have done this time.

Oh there goes my little pipe dream..haha.
I have a feeling I didn't want it anyway. I have been agonisig over it for months.. I guess my gut is directing me someplace else.

thanks :)

yes it was 37.9, oops :P

It does not say to give up, the advice is to wait and try again later when you have your head on straight.

yes willowfox, thats what i was thinking.. I know u gave good advice in my first thread, about whether to apply, but my dilemma stemmed from the letters, not the applications. I guess that will have to wait. who knows some other deal with a longer dateline.

Thanks muchly, and the iching was correct.

by the way, 9.2 was very apt for my situation. i didnt want to approach my teachers because i had a bad feeling it would be an uncomfortable situation. best wait till i prove myself before requesting a good letter. but i have been pressured though, and couldnt think straight.

Thanks again :)
