i finally caved and registered on this forum. i just had to. i've been here since the beginning but never wanted to get sucked in... anyway, i thought i might relay a story to illustrate how crazy this whole waiting period has been for me. right around the time i started obsessively checking this forum (last few days of march) i got an email from my advisor telling me about a temporary cast member position opening up on a really sweet TV show. i applied and am now one of two people they're considering having on the show. i'm supposed to find out if i made it ~may 20th.
this is the absurdity: all in the time i've been on pins and needles about NSF, i found out about the opening, applied to a tv show, auditioned twice, made it to the final two, and have waited two of the three weeks it's taking the network to make their final decision. the producer was sort of apologetic about how long it takes the network to make decisions like this, and i sort of chuckled... just tack this somewhat reasonable waiting period onto the most outrageous wait ever... no biggie!
so basically now, it's a "race" between NSF and the network. and since i've got an approximate date from the latter, it'd really just slay me if i found out both on the same day. if meowser is right and we do find out on tuesday (or weds - close enough!), it could happen...
