ecoponophobic Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Officially set my phone to give off a special alert for any emails received from fulbright. Hopefully I will stop checking so much now haha. I imagine it going off at the beginning of class and having a panic attack for an hour, unable to check it.

JustChill Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I imagine it going off at the beginning of class and having a panic attack for an hour, unable to check it. Bump that, I would totally walk out of any class for something like this. I might even high-five the professor on my way out (but send an apology and an explanation afterwards).

jahanzlik Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone else keep getting asked from all friends, co-workers and family members...."When do you find out?" The best is the people that ask every week even after I told them maybe mid-april but as late as June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best is the people that ask every week even after I told them maybe mid-april but as late as June. I have only told.. one friend? I keep her updated. I specifically did not want to tell many people about it before anything was certain. My bf and family know it will be any day now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bf and family know it will be any day now. Lucky, my family all knew cause I applied last year. At my school they post a flyer with all the finalists names and pictures. It was posted all over my department and even emailed out. I cant avoid it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon314 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I imagine it going off at the beginning of class and having a panic attack for an hour, unable to check it. Psh I'd check it anyway. How do you do that? Even though I know I'm unlikely to find out before next week, I'm still walking around stressed and freaking out all the time. So not good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vPersie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 How did you do that? For iPhones w/ iOS 6+, first add the Fulbright email address as a VIP. I did this by finding my email from them in January, clicking on their email address to bring up the options "Create New Contact, Add to Existing Contact, Add to VIP." Select Add to VIP. Then Go to Settings -> Notifications -> Mail -> VIP. Set your notification preference as you would like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALostScholar Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 This waiting business is getting REALLY old. I read this then instantly busted up laughing....it is, but my FPA said to me today (I asked him if the Office of National Scholarship Advisement offers counseling services for waiting ) he said, "Counselling no, but we do trade in rumors! Some countries are starting to let people know, so you might hear soon. Rumors I've heard as well are that people who have been turned down are hearing first, so maybe no news is good news." At this point, I'll take any interaction about the Fulbright.....back to refreshing and praying....HANG IN THERE EVERYONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmv34 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I'd love to hear everyone's proposals. I mean, while we're waiting (possibly forever) I'm hoping to do a study that'll use the droning sounds of North Indian/Hindustani ragas and related musical instruments as a bottom-up sensory/perceptual/cognitive/social therapy for children with autism in New Delhi. There'll be different conditions to compare ragas vs. sounds of single instruments, recordings vs. live listening, etc. If things go as planned there'll also be a condition where we'll try to teach some kids to apply their repetitive/OCD-like motor behaviors to the repetitive patterns used to play some of these instruments, essentially turning these problematic behaviors into the engine that drives the output of therapeutic sound.

I wish you all the best! Will this research be conducted at local temples? Yes it is wonderful! I have been twice! Indian Theology of an Islamic sort...something like the local Sufi traditions, the Sikhs, the splinter Shia groups and the Mughal heritage etc? Sounds like it would have to bring in Pakistan as well...like the Aga Khan, Ismaili's etc. I will be conducting my research at local temples devoted to a Shakti, for example, Kali.
