Haha sooo my family has decided that the time will go by much more enjoyably if they place bets on which day I'll find out and make a pool for the month of April. I will say, it does sound much more enjoyable this way...

Seriously. That just made my week. Fantastic job.

I wish I were the Oprah of Fulbrights. Because then YOU would get a Fulbright, and YOU would get a FULBRIGHT, and EVERYBODY GETS A FULBRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
And ya'll would be
 
all..

hahahaha loving the reference!!

Congrats!    Ahh, here it comes. I might as well go home, because nothing else is getting done today!

Hmmmm.....it doesn't matter so long as it's strong lol.

Germany, you are killing me.

Good news! I was selected for the Fulbright to Australia!!!!!!!!! a very trying experience this Fulbright is..... good luck to everyone!!!

OMG they said at the end of my interview on March 12, they said I would here the decision mid April. I just got an email, just now, and I got the Fulbright to Mexico! Hell yeah!!!!! so stoked!

Just got the news too! Awarded research grant to Mexico!

How could you not?! My family is so Sound of Music crazy though, so, that kind of makes me biased!

Liebe Fulbright-Kommission,
 
ich warte auf Sie mit voller Aufmerksamkeit und Angst. Wenn Sie die Entscheidung treffen, mich als Empfänger des berühmten Stipendium Fulbright anzuerkennen, bin ich Ihnen immer (und weiter) schuldig. Bitte, lassen Sie die Entscheidung schnell aus Ihrem shönen Land hierher kommen.
 
mit besten Grüßen von einem nervösen amerikanishen Student

The very north of Denmark, really -- Aalborg. How about you?
 
And is anyone else continually checking their spam folders for fear that *the* email is sitting there, unread? But no, it's always just filled up with messages from people trying to sell me Viagra or gold.

You're definitely right (at least with Germany)! I've had a few friends do the ETA and it is actually in their contracts that they are not supposed to teach grammar. Sometimes the schools may ask the ETA to teach it, but they are not supposed to. Perhaps this is because most ETAs do not have formal training in teaching English...
 
And I second everyone! Come on Germany, this waiting game is getting really old!

I think we are going to get along just fine.

seriously though...the Fulbright & Jaworski law firm must have like eight full time tweeters on staff 

Omg. I'm so sorry.
I didn't even think about that.

But as to your other question, if we don't hear this week, maybe I will go kidnap the new pope and hold him hostage until everyone finds out!
