AnxiousDad

I am so sorry. I know that everyone IS rooting for you. Hoping you get bumped up.

The instant nature of email is truly bitter sweet. Turn back the clock a couple of decades and the anxious Fulbright hopefuls waited for their notifications to come via the mail. I can see them peering out the window, or calling home after they thought that the mail had arrived; the mail arrived at a predictable hour in those days. When they raced to the mailbox, and discovered the letter had not come, they were likely to gain some level of peace, until the next day started the cycle all over again. Today, every ping of the email sends one running to see if the notice has arrived. It is death by a thousand cuts.

You Need a Vacation… From Your Problems! Just keep telling yourself I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful

Got great news today that my daughter got an ETA to Sri Lanka. So happy for her! She worked so hard and wanted this so much. My thoughts go out to all those that are still waiting to hear.

Thinking that you know my daughter from Mass from Isle!! Way to go.

Congrats!! What program?

Anyone else anxiously waiting to hear about an ETA from Sri Lanka? This process is more painful than applying to college.
