The mantra I repeat to myself every night. .. For real, I don't even care if it's me or not, I just want SOMEBODY to find out SOMETHING!!!!!!!! I really don't think I can go through another month of this. Not that I have a choice

NO KIDDING.

Yeah, I think most people got that email around that time.

Indeed.

Still an hour till 3, hang on there! It's tough!

@Medizumbacist , because my quote thing doesn't seem to be working.. Yeah, I know, everyone always likes their first instructor the best, I think. I like my current one, she is a lot of fun, and has disco balls and black lights (so cool!) but she really doesn't break down the steps at all. You basically just have to figure it out on your own. I'm terribly uncordinated so.. slow going That would be awesome if we could meet up in Zagreb! I would be so up for that! I really want to make it to Dubrovnik at some point too.. Wasn't able to make it there, last time!

Also, a little jealous you are applying to Croatia. I thought about it, but decided I would have a better chance at an ETA in Germany. It was a tough choice! I have family near Zagreb! I think I should still get to visit them, though!

Haha, awesome. I just got back into Zumba recently. I miss my old studio I used to go to, though

Hmmmmmmm. Going on my list of "things to contemplate if I don't get a Fulbright" Does your username reference Zumba, or is it something else?

I've been to Vienna as well. Even though it was a short trip, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I had one of the best cups of tea I've ever had in Vienna

I'm appying to Germany. I've been there before, and I seem to remember the BBC being the one of two channels I would watch when I just didn't feel like straining my brain . CNN could be pretty depressing at times. THis was back in 08, and it just kept reminding of the terrible economy I was going back to and would soon be graduating into. I also watched more of MTV's "Room Raider's" than I care to admit, as they just added German subtitles. Oh, and Bob Ross was on late at night every once in a while! That was pretty comforting!! I wanted to apply for a Critical Language award, but they don't offer that in Germany. I hope to spend my free time volunteering at a therepeutic horseback riding center, somewhere. I currently volunteer at a stable here in the States, and since therepeutic riding started in Germany/Austria, I thought this would be an excellent opportunity! I also hope to obtain a masters in Speech Pathology at some point, hence my interest in working with the developmentally disabled.

Being state side is so bloody boring!! *shoots at wall* I know some of you will get it!

Isn't it. I'm secretly hoping that if I get to go abroad, I will have access to the BBC channel and get to watch Sherlock earlier than my boyfriend Are you an ETA applicant as well? Where are you applying? What did you propose as your "side project"?

I have nothing to add to the current discussion, as I am an ETA applicant. Feels bad man.

I dunno, but, I'd much rather be abroad than in my stupid cubicle in the States.

Heh, I didn't actually drink anything stronger than a Diet, Caffeine Free Mountain Dew when I got home. I still have half a bottle of wine, but it should probably be tossed...

Well, he's not actually Indian, she just met him there. He's from Iraq, and was doing is masters in Engineering in India. They met in a Hindi class! :)So he came here

Ahh cool! My sister received a full grant to India in.. um.. *Scratches head* 09? She brought home a husband... which is probably why my boyfriend is so worried

Where are you applying again, chelali? My brain wants to say Russia.. but.. yeah. It's kind of shot right now.

If nothing else, he should offer you a jack and coke to soothe your frayed nerves. I think I'm gonna need something strong tonight............ Up until now, I've just been anxious. Now I am getting agitated. Gosh darn it!! I have to get something DONE in the next month or so (pleasegodnotlongerthanthat) This anxiety is SERIOUSLY impeding me from acomplishing anything!! Staying on task...not...possible....

Awesome!! THanks!!!!!

This waiting business is getting REALLY old.

I have only told.. one friend? I keep her updated. I specifically did not want to tell many people about it before anything was certain. My bf and family know it will be any day now.

I am trying desperately to be productive at work, but it's just so hard.

Funny how a bunch of people suddenly started reading this topic. Guess we all are thinking the same thing I wonder if any emails were sent today?
