hi all,
yet another lurker coming out of the woodwork.
I applied for a full grant to Belgium. my FPA told me that, last year, applicants to Belgium heard back on March 5. well, three weeks later and I'm still waiting for that email... and getting crazier every day... this wait is absolutely soul-crushing.
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one turning to wonderful cheap wine to soothe my nerves! after class every day, my thought process usually goes something like this: "I guess I should work on my thesis now. but I didn't hear back from Fulbright again. fuck it, I'm getting more wine." the irony that my thesis is about substance use problems is not lost on me...
