This was back in january. That's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

there'sanappforthat Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wow. The internet at work was down for three and a half hours. We were unable to do anything during that time.. ridiculous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystalDee Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wow. The internet at work was down for three and a half hours. We were unable to do anything during that time.. ridiculous!!! I was wondering where you were! So, while you were gone we learned about fish and potatoes. Someone new added to the spreadsheet for Estonia and Ecuador is sending word through snail mail. You are now caught up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtlc06 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wow. The internet at work was down for three and a half hours. We were unable to do anything during that time.. ridiculous!!! That happened to me once... Only it wasn't just the internet - it was the power too. We all got to leave and work from home... Best. Day. Ever.

Best. Day. Ever. It was so close ... I think one more hour and they would have sent us home. We have to be connected to our server to do anything, so it was wasted time. Luckily I had my Ipad with me, so I played with that until the battery died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't it just feel like the best day ever? The day I found out, I went to my regular Zumba class and had one of the best workouts ever. I felt like I was walking (..er..dancing) on cloud nine!!

CrystalDee Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wait.. Estonia heard back? Or just someone new who is waiting? Just someone new. Someone who presumably shares my love of Estonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTL2012 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Is it just me, or does anyone else sometimes get the (albeit irrational, I know) feeling that they just forgot about you/your country? I don't know anyone else who applied for mine, and part of me thinks the rest were notified weeks ago and I somehow just slipped through the cracks. Oh hey irrational thinking, how are you? Thanks for accompanying me through this fulbright process. CrystalDee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for accompanying me through this fulbright process. many, many pages back on this forum, someone mentioned how an email about Fulbright got sent to their Spam inbox. now I am paranoid that I won't ever find out because I'll forget to check there.

theoretician Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 So since it's past 5PM EST today, do you think it's too late to hear back from them today? I was really hoping and thinking that I would hear back today because Italy usually sends out notifications around first few days of April.

medizumbacist Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 haha, I wouldn't worry too much about just never finding out because I'm pretty sure they send you snail mail no matter what...in addition to the email...I have a sneaking suspicion whoever found out today through snail mail actually got an email and it went to spam or something...or at least it's an idea I had...

dios Achilleus Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Norway applicant here. On more pins and needles than I thought possible. I found this thread last night and have been refreshing all day inbetween refreshing my email. Every time my computer says I have a new email, my heart palpitates. Now I have a whole weekend of ignorance to look forward to, and with this day passing, the last day I knew to expect a response, I now have no idea when the wait will be over. This may be the worst feeling in the world. Having no knowledge and no expectation when information will arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
