BenWLol Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Welp, either way I'm flying out to Vegas tonight so I can celebrate if its good and not dwell if it's bad. Good luck, y'all - I know how much work each and every one of you put into your applications. As my academic adviser told me: "It's really f***ing hard to convince someone to give you tens of thousands of dollars*" Horb, Mossy.artist and thepictureisstill 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanwinston Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So what's the general consensus here, that we're going to hear something towards the end of the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think around 4-5pm. Last year it came out around then. Although I think the year before it came out around 1pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to curl up in an anxiety ball between 1 and 3 (I have a meeting with my boss from 3-4) and then from 4-5.30pm. If we hear nothing today for some reason, I plan to self-combust. Go out with a bang, I say! My guess would be 4:05pm, because why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some countries email you ahead of time (I'm not sure they are supposed to, but idk). Switzerland, for example, requires an additional application section if you make it through the first round.

moderatedbliss Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm out data on my phone and I'll be playing basketball when the info arrives. Going to be awkwardly asking 16 year-olds if I can "borrow their phone to check something" every 15 minutes. lia.md and Photogeographic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolOwl Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) In a moment of serenity in what is to be a ~completely anxious~ afternoon, I realized that our love for research and the disciplines we're apart of will carry us far beyond today's outcome. The work we all want to do, regardless of whether or not we can through Fulbright, is necessary and important. Especially now! Best of luck y'all, I'm sending positivity!

I'm working / teaching myself Portuguese part-time while waiting for my citizenship application to process... That's rad! Part of the reason I came is because I want to translate Lusitanian lit in the future. Saramago is great, but António Lobo Antunes is my favorite.

It's in Portuguese, so it's a slow read for me. I'm taking Portuguese lessons with a tutor. I'd love to hear about your translation path. How great would be to have this literature convo over coffee in Lisbon? Here's to hoping your timely response is an auspicious omen. ?? moderatedbliss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanwinston Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So I just read an email from my campus representative that helped me fill out my application. She said I'm considered! I guess they get notice before the applicants do? Good luck to everyone else! describeblue and Photogeographic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
