Thank you - and same to you!! Even though we're frozen in a bizarre waiting/hoping/despairing state for the moment, I'm still optimistic and will keep my fingers crossed for all of us members of the (A) team.
I'm hoping that we'll hear back within the month, but, as it says in the email, we could potentially be selected up until the end of the "Fulbright year." I guess it could be months til finding out
Still waiting on Russia ETA news, so I completely feel your pain/anxiety. I'm reeeeeally hoping that we hear back this week (/today). I can't maintain this lifestyle of stress feasting each day that I don't receive a notification - it's becoming quite costly and horrifying. lol
Yeah, it's definitely been a worrisome idea, but I'm trying to stay optimistic about it. Like the American Councils president Dan Davidson said, “This is a time when our peoples should increase dialog and exchange of ideas regarding both shared interests and common challenges, rather than decrease them"--I feel like Fulbright would be more beneficial than ever during this time of conflict, but we shall see. Fingers crossed!
She asked me how I thought I'd fare during a Russian winter, and I was trying to tell her that I'm always the weirdo out in the streets when it's snowing with no tights/pants on but forgot how to say "pants" and went with "leg things" instead. Russian at it's finest hah
But yeah, I agree. I'm guessing that we all passed the test of basic conversational abilities, at the very least!
