Not Fulbright (obviously, because it's the weekend) but I did find out that I'm getting a poem published in a poetry journal coming out this fall! So at least it's something. 

I have decided to accept the USTA instead of the Germany ETA. Do I need to notify Fulbright? I am confused...

I know it's not technically Fulbright, but did anyone else hear back from USTA today? Looks like I'll be in Austria next year!

Our email states: "Grantees who fail to attend the orientation and/or workshop without explicit exemption from the Department of State, or who fail to participate fully in all of the required sessions will have their grants withdrawn."

Because the CLS program is a Dept. of State thing it might qualify for the exemption bit honestly, if anything could. Worth a shot to inquire, at least. 

Also I'm not sure if this means anything in either direction, but I was a finalist for a Jordan ETA last year and I just searched my email... I'm like 85% sure I didn't get a "save the date" last year... Does this bode well? Will we receive notifications at 9pm EST again? Who know. CONSPIRACIES. 

Ooo this is a good distraction. 
I am an ETA applicant to Jordan, and growing up a few of my closest friends were from Jordan and Lebanon. I spent a decent amount of time hearing the Arabic language, and so when I entered Uni to study Linguistics, I chose Arabic as my non-Indo European language of study for my degree. As it goes, studying the language got me much more interested in the region, and I studied abroad in Morocco. Following graduation, I also did an internship in the West Bank of Palestine. I've wanted to go to Jordan for a really long time, and think this is a great opportunity not only to develop professionally, but to garner critical language skills and intercultural experience! Yay! 
.... okay Jordan, you can send out notifications now.
