Hi Friends ! 

I heard back from Jermaine and he said that there were in fact grants awarded to Kenya for the grant year of 2015-2016, although apparently there weren't any the year before. And to think the Fulbright process is still throwing me through a loop even at this stage. SO hopefully this is good news for those who are still waiting in areas that might be dealing with conflict ! 

Accepted to Bahrain ETA!

Going to Kazakhstan!!!!! 

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

You guys, I need some motivation to [continue] to move forward. This whole wait patiently until Fulbright puts me out of my misery isn't going too well.

Update: I called Jermaine Jones today regarding Jordan grants.

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. 

If you were an Alternate this year, do not despair! I was an A last year and replied this year, ultimately to be selected as a P. GOOD LUCK!!

I've officially become "that one person at my school who's still waiting." My professors all ask my other friends about me. My friends know not to ask me.

I just want to be able to have a proper conversation wherein I can talk about something other than how many times I checked this forum/my email in a day.

Hey Jadesg1 - I called the IIE office in NY in mid-March asking about whether Fulbright would continue in Jordan after Peace Corp pulled volunteers out. From what Jermaine Jones told me, they weren't planning on cancelling the program and were encouraging the 2016/2017 cycle to apply. I hope that gives you some comfort. I was definitely freaking out in March after the peace corp incident. We'll be all right. I have hope that it'll come through  

Replace "Bueller" with "Fulbright" and that's me at this point.

Dear Fulbright,

Looks like this is the day where everyone still waiting on the Middle East finally cracks and looks for answers... haha.

P for Vietnam ETA!

Dear Diary,
 
It's day 44 since the Fulbright notification period began. For those of us who have yet to be notified, the numbers are dwindling... We are increasingly alone. I'm not sure how much longer morale can stand.

God help us.
