Haha I'm trying! At least I can stop staring at my email for a while since I know it won't come today I hope you're right about Germany! Fewer people in purgatory!
Well, I caved and called in. Spain ETAs won't be announced today. The woman (Marla Mazer, the contact for Europe on the Fulbright website) didn't know when they'd be announced, but the commission in Spain hasn't released them to the US yet. Guess it seems like I'll be twiddling my thumbs for at least a couple more days if this storm is as bad as you all are saying!
Also, I'm gonna throw this idea out there - if I get the Fulbright, I'm hoping to do some independent travel in the post Soviet bloc (looking at you, Ukraine people!). I studied Russian and did CLS Azerbaijani. Is there any kind of couchsurfing-type community of fulbrighters? I'd love to host people and/or to see another country via a fulbrighter! Thoughts?
I'm hoping the next one is the Spanish ETA is next cuz the Spanish researches are already out! I dreamed about fulbright all night last night. This is driving me crazy, literally!
Awesome! Let me know if you do! I listed a preference for Galicia (I've studied Galician!), where are you hoping for placement if you become a finalist??
I hope we both get it!
I'm new here but I've been reading posts for a few weeks! Also a semifinalist for the Spain ETA and wondering why the research grants were announced but not the ETAs! Good luck everyone, I'm glad J found this forum cuz I am freaking out waiting like you all ?
