  1. Snuffleupagus, I would email James Miller, the head of MACECE (j.miller@macece.ma). He's always the one I contact and he usually gets back to me. Alternately, try Jermaine Jones (jjones@iie.org) at IIE. Hope you hear something!
  2. I got mine today and it was simply the 1-page congrats letter. No worries; it looks like you got everything.
  3. Excellent point. CrystalDee, there's no need to make a decision now. You (and all those who don't get it this year) need time to heal before deciding what comes next. I always think that, for academics, the summer is a time for catharsis. Take that time and *then* decide. For what it's worth. Remember: it took me 10 years to finally get into a PhD program. There were times when I literally thought I couldn't take another rejection letter. I simply thought I would disappear. But here I am. And here you are too. Take the time to heal, and then get back up on that horse, whatever horse is right for you right now.
  4. After my first summer in Fes, I knew it had become a part of my soul. It's weird, really, but that's how it is. I simply love it.
  5. I have no doubt, CrystalDee, that your commitment to and passion for this place will bring you back again and again. Fulbright be damned, you're going to do what you set out to. I believe that.
  6. I would love to have one. I'm a research grant recipient, but I would love to crash the ETA's party! mind if I tag along? Congrats to everyone who has heard this week, whatever the news. At least now we can begin to make more definitive plans and move forward with our lives. And always remember that we *do* have important things to do with our lives, even if Fulbright doesn't seem to think so (this year). Hang in there, Middle East applicants! Those emails are coming; I can feel it!
  7. I got mine late yesterday afternoon when I was stuck in endless airport delays (damn the sequester, CrystalDee!). I'm still n shock and trying to catch my breath: I got it. Research grant to Morocco. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone else in DC and Rabat!
  8. Hehehe... can all of those accepted to Morocco promise to send pics with feses? Or at least take a group pic wearing them? As creepy as I find the idea of sending a photo, I've often heard of this. I was asked by one of my grad programs to submit one between my admission and my matriculation. I sent one with me waaaaay back in the distance.
  9. The way things are going, what with my signposts and all, you'll find out before I do! So ya, I'll still be around.
  10. My email said June 29 - July 1. I'm a research grant applicant; are there different orientations for ETA and research people?
  11. Inshallah next time around... and humdillah for your presence here.
  12. Huzzah for the small-town kids! Way to represent!
  13. You're welcome! There's always more where that came from if and / or when you need it. And wear that red nose with pride. Passion for life is never a bad thing, and sometimes that passion comes back to bite you in the ass. It's all part of living a full life, my friend. So live on!
  14. Blech... I applied to PhD programs for 10 years before I got in. I started my first MA program 7 years ago when I was 30; I started my PhD program 3 years ago; I won't finish said program until I'm over 40; I lived abroad for the first time studying Arabic 2 summers ago (yep, I was 35). There's no such thing as too old! Never give up hope! K, that's my pep talk. Tuck it away and think about it sometime after the sting has worn off a bit.
