Getting closer to my neck of the woods.

Abelian is on the spreadsheet for Finland.

Congratulations!! That is wonderful news!!

Just looked at the spreadsheet and there is an update from Poland.

My new thing is going in with a recipe from the secret menu in hand and getting them to make it. Some of them don't mind, others are sort of annoyed. But, hey, it's the little things.

Well, my big news of the day is I retained my Gold status at Starbucks. Lol!!!

On an unrelated note, looks like the Truman Scholarships were announced.

No, I am applying for a full grant to Estonia, you're right. It just upsets me that these programs are taking a hit. I don't know, I'm just frustrated.

Yeah, this is upsetting. I so want to yell at my Congressman for letting the sequester happen.

I may have to email my Congressman, of course, he sees no point in frivolous programs like Fulbright. *sigh*

Haha! You should give it a try! Here is a link from YouTube, this little girl is precious. And, I think I have gone a whole day without blaming the sequester. LOL!!

There are a couple of people waiting on Venezuela. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE#gid=1

There are no prepositions in Estonian. Each noun is conjugated to accommodate for the preposition. There are 14 different ways to change a noun, plus your typical verb conjugations. Is this similar for any of you guys? I can sound out Russian, but I cannot even fathom reading it. Whew! At least I only have a handful of new letters to learn.

It's the nice before the storm here in "tornado alley." Hope you feel better! Welcome! It's nice to have friends waiting with you. Glad you found us! Okay, must... get... back... to...studying!

So, today would be Fulbright's birthday; what a great way to honor him by sending out some notifications today. I am sure we can sing happy birthday in several languages, if that will help.

Also not that brave! It is fun hearing the news when a country finally calls. We celebrate with those who make it and we commiserate we those who don't. Good news, we survived another day! Hope is still alive.

Howdy to all the new folks! If you feel so inclined, add your name to the Google doc https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE#gid=1 Also, if you look at the bottom you can tab over to the past notification dates. Again, welcome to our merry group playing the waiting game!

Say it ain't so! People have to find places to stay, and plans need to be made. Oy! is right!

Lol!! Stupid Sequester!! Now I have that out of my system for today. Actually, they cut down the spots from 4 to 3 a few years ago. I am not sure why.

I get that a lot. The "it's in the bag" sort of reaction. In the back of my mind I am thinking, there are only 3 spots.

Thanks for joining us!

Yep, I am ready for the glow of victory! LOL!! I said to one of them: I am not ready to lose, but I am ready to know.

Yeah, I am not an ETA either. So, I hesitated in asking to join the General group. Lol!

Great news! We like non-Fulbright related news also. Thanks for sharing and good luck!

No kidding! And here is Monday, let the waiting begin! Lol!!
