Welcome! Glad you are with us! How is your Finnish coming along? Estonian is tough. I am missing the comfort of the Latin based languages.

I love this so much! Lol!!

I think we all kind of, in the back of our minds, knew the sequester was messing with the process. Okay, I have been openly telling people that it is. But, many of the prior dates are in April, so we are still within the window. No reason to worry, maybe if it were mid-May, I might worry; the beginning of April, not so much.

I get emails from a company called isee Systems, they sent me a thing about a webinar yesterday. Grrrr...they scared me to death.

We need our Fulbright Oprah again! Lol!!

So true! Well said, my friend.

Thanks! They didn't send out notices until May 1st last year, *sigh* Seriously, I really thought maybe the sequester was slowing the process for you guys; and maybe it did. But, I feel like since your announcement finally arrived maybe things are on track.

That is so funny! This has been a good day.

Any news from Torrid yet?

Me too!! But, I really don't think it will be until the end of the month. It's cool, we can all live vicariously through you guys a bit. Lol!!

This is why we all love you!! I am so happy you got your grant!

Aww, we will keep it alive.

Thanks! Looks like it will be more waiting for several of us. So happy for y'all that got word today!

Yea!! The system is working! It was taking so long for you guys to find out, I was really starting to think the sequester was really messing with things. Congratulations guys! Don't all leave us at once. Lol!!

I don't wish this anxiety on anyone. I was hoping the German ETAs would hear something today. I know you guys are on pins and needles.

I am curious about this also.

Congrats! That is wonderful news!! Good luck on your Fulbright adventure!

What does this mean? Projected number of awards?

Great news!

I have decided that I want my friend in Estonia to accidentally let the news slip to me before I get the email from IIE. Yeah, it is sad that I have a dream about how I want to find out. This is what waiting does. :'(

Hang in there! You know it will be soon now. Good luck!

Yes, the deluge is coming. I am so happy for you guys!

Seriously, I am on pins and needles for you guys! I know my group won't find out for a while, so I am hoping for you guys! *fingers crossed* Congratulations to carteramc!

Welcome to all the new folks! Please put your info on the spreadsheet if you have not done so already. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmoTe-gJd4B9dFJ0aW1mYTVkYnhKcUEzR28yRTNwdlE#gid=1 Thanks! Welcome to our waiting game.

For those who enjoy a little distraction: The Eurovision Song Contest will be getting underway soon, and many of our countries are included. Many are in English, some are in native languages (the Estonian sings in Estonian). I can't link it, it's not allowed. But, Bonnie Tyler, singer from the 80's, is representing the UK. That is kind of funny! Maybe this will get the Sound of Music out of my mind. Lol!!
