Gradecafe13 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Yes come visit! Perhaps we can cross paths at the orientation training in July?
secretlyismaili Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 KYRGZYSTAN YOU'RE KILLIN MEEEEE Come on Kyrgyzstan you Switzerland of Inner Asia you. Stop killing your applicants ;-) Maybe the Chinese and the Kyrgyz are scheming together again, just as they did against the Gokturks long ago. This definitely sux
rtlc06 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 So Caribbean/CA people: we're rapidly approaching last year's notification date! Who thinks it's going to be next week? I'm going to guess it won't be, given all of the other hold ups in other regions. I fact, I think we might even be later than May 9th... That's just me pontificating with no reasonable information to back this up. Other bets? Maybe they want us all so badly that they're running a donation drive in each individual country to finance our research / ETA tenures... No? Maybe?

Not that I have any particular reason either.
secretlyismaili Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Haha, I can see them all out in their bathing suits holding a car wash and bake sale just for us. I just remembered the skit from Tim and Eric for the product called "Wait Mate" which is basically just a sleeping pill, you're supposed to take one for every day you want to sleep so that your wait goes by faster. but of course people OD on it like crazy
nfrancoiii Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Haha, my bet's on even later than May 9th. Not that I have any particular reason either. I agree. But my bet is based on sound glass-half-empty reasoning. I say May 17 with the hope that I am very wrong.
there'sanappforthat Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Selected for ETA fellowship in Montenegro!! Wonderful!!!! Congrats!!!!
CrystalDee Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Selected for ETA fellowship in Montenegro!! Awesome news! Congratulations!
Porshyen Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I was really hoping that there would be a flood of notifications today. :/
Torrid Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I feel for you guys, I really do I feel like I check this board now almost as fervently as when I was waiting...
CrystalDee Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 I feel for you guys, I really do I feel like I check this board now almost as fervently as when I was waiting... I know many people have bailed from the board after they find out, but that's like leaving before the end of the movie. There are credits and you know there is a bonus scene coming up; just hang on! I appreciate you guys who are still with us. Hopefully we will have some good news soon. *the Magic 8 Ball said probably. "Way to be vague Magical 8 ball." medizumbacist 1
daisusaikoro Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) I was really hoping that there would be a flood of notifications today. :/ Same here. We are within days of when China is traditionally announced. Boo. Edited April 26, 2013 by daisusaikoro

But you are probably right. I'm convinced that I will be selected as an alternate and then the waiting will just be prolonged even further.

But it definitely helps to know that there's other people waiting with me Go us! Go us! I keep thinking how brutal this must be for seniors trying to make life decisions. I am working full time so if I dont get it, i at least dont need to start panicking. What are graduating seniors thinking right now? Do you guys have backup plans?
lucas.schoeppner Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Germany full granter, still lurking here in solidarity with you guys. Those of you with ETA's - do you guys have EUR 100/mo for "incidentals" mentioned in your notification? I just noticed that today on my letter...

Hopefully, our weary souls will be free soon. *It's 4:35CST I think we can call it for the week. Let the weekend begin! Edited April 26, 2013 by CrystalDee

Did you finally get the snail mail that they have been claiming we would receive this week? I haven't been home yet, so I may well have. I had almost forgot about that, but I had been wondering if they would meet their deadline.
secretlyismaili Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 *It's 4:35CST I think we can call it for the week. Let the weekend begin! AMEN. Weekend! TGIF and since I have China on the brain I feel like sharing: once on Friday at the end of the day I asked my Chinese teacher how to say "thank God it's Friday." She just looked at me blankly for a few seconds then said perfectly flatly, "there's no god in China." happy weekend everyone, enjoy. supposed to get up to around 70 here, woot woot there'sanappforthat 1
there'sanappforthat Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 This is how imagine those of you who have not heard yet. Just kind of laying there, lethargicly, unable to muster up the will do really do anything. "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.. just.. let..........this.....waiting...be....OVEEEEEEEER". Or maybe that's just how I'm feeling at work today... becchamm 1
