We found out on a weekend last year... Literally like 6pm EST on a SATURDAY. I was so mad, haha. I was not expecting it whatsoever and was like, on a city bus by myself and just started crying like a crazy person calling my mom like "I GOT IT." Not ideal.

Hey guys! One of my friends just declined the Macau ETA, so a spot could be opening up! FYI.

Actually, you'll "register" via and online survey, and then they'll send you to the portal of their travel agency. There, you'll put in your dates (ETA and Research dates differ by a day or two) and they'll give you a few flight options of which you'll choose what best works for you. They'll reserve that ticket request with a "ghost credit card" and then officially confirm your itinerary one or two days later.

Our orientation is the first one, which is June 10-14! So that's probably why we've gotten our stuff already.

Booked my orientation travel plans! AHHHHH!!!! IT'S HAPPENING!!!

I'm going to be "that person." Here's the link to the Jordan group! Yay! https://www.facebook.com/groups/fulbrightjordan20152016/

Also ya girl's about to straight up make a FB group so we can stalk each other.

WHO SENDS NOTIFICATIONS AT 9:15PM EST ON A SATURDAY!?!? In other news, got the (P) to the ETA in Jordan! YAHOOO!!!

dear fulbright, pls respond

Congrats to those accepted... is there hope for this week after all?

I suppose a selfie of me quietly weeping over the Fulbright logo wouldn't be too helpful, would it?

Nope. Like I said... nothing helpful... ha.

Update: I called Jermaine Jones today regarding Jordan grants. ..... no helpful information. Sorry everyone. I tried.

Sorry to hear you're bummed! If you're set on teaching in Macau, I recently saw a posting on Idealist.org for English teachers. While teaching certification is a plus, it's not a requirement. Here's a link to one of the listings I saw: http://www.idealist.org/view/job/WP9g3jDxCbJd/

I called Jermaine Jones about the Middle East. He's out on business til Monday. So I'm not really expecting anything for any of us right now.
