Do you think they'll actually be able to tell us anything over the phone?

I highly doubt it @catsbloom... this is killing me too haha 

[Lab6214]

I mean I called yesterday about Spain...and it was super chill. If you want to call, I'd call. They can't not give you it because of that...

@LibbyCreek Congratulations!! I am so happy for you!

I caved. I called the Regional Manager for the Western Hemisphere to ask about Peru research and got voicemail.

If there was a 3 hour delay, they might be on lunch right now??? Just a guess...

I might call about the UK

[jmhawkin24]

Has anyone called about East-Asia Pacific by chance?

So anyone found out if the offices in New York or D.C. are closed today from heavy snowing?

They're open. Someone asked on twitter. Hungary also was announced today.

I would assume they were open since Hungary and Iceland notified today! But it looks like today is not going to be as busy as Friday was last week.

I think this snow day is making me feel slightly stir crazy. There's nothing to distract me from refreshing my email 

[SrtaOrozco]

I am both anxious and excited about Spain releasing their ETA finalists! This is my first time posting on this feed and I've been feverishly reading this thread! I am currently a senior in my last semester of college and this is my first time applying for a Fulbright! This has been a dream of mine since freshman year of college! I am a semi-finalist for for an ETA Fulbright in Spain! Anyone else also in the same boat? Best of luck to all of us! <3

My distraction... The Daily show is hilarious.

Why don't we just use twitter to see where they are in final notification process?

I've picked up binge eating to deal with the stress.

I was on the phone with her (she's been sick so I was checking in) when the email came and we were able to flip out together. 

She told me she would let me update the spreadsheet

Thanks for asking!

Congrats!! I noticed on the spreadsheet that you are/were at OSU-- me too!

I've maybe had 6 mini butterfingers today to cope with the waiting and boredom

I spent the first half of my life in Korea and I can't wait for you to experience the Korean culture! If you need some recommendations on things to do there, K-pop artists, or anything else let me know!!!

[CoolOwl]

I went on twitter to scope things out, and all I learned was that the next application cycle opens before I'm even projected to find out!!!! Lol

I was hoping that maybe after it was over, they'd make it available to non-premium users but still nothing!! Even tried Viki, but it says its unavailable in my country T_T

I went and worked out in a serious manner for the first time today to Take my mind off it. Unfortunately I don't think Georgia is going to announce for at least a weak if the past is any indication.
