I'm just nervous, if I don't get this it means I'm getting loans and going to work 2 full time jobs until I leave---which is something I'm trying to avoid (for burn out sake).

I understand that, damn. Best of luck to you.

I kept waking up and falling asleep and had a dream that everyone but me got the award. I had to check and re-check my email and this forum.

ME TOO. ALL MORNING. I feel your pain. I keep trying to think back to the earlier post from persona_in_foro and they're right, 100%. Our lives will go on and there are loads of other opportunities...I just feel like my life has stopped while waiting for this. I haven't been making other plans really, it kinda put everything else on hold...

Feels like your entire life is up in the air, right? Been there for a few weeks at least.

So I've been lurking on this thread for a while because my SO applied for this fellowship without telling me ?

Good luck everyone!

Couldn't fall asleep until 2am and woke up at 8 to see if they had sent out an email. I just want to find out, I can't even concentrate on anything else right now...

I have a couple of midterms this week, I can't even study lol.

If I don't get Boren there's no way I will be able to study abroad. 

[mockingjay634]

I'm supposed to be working on my dissertation proposal. If I don't get it, I have to cut my fieldwork from 11 to 6 months and pay for AFLI out of pocket.

I don't think we will get physical mail until 2-3 days after emails come in.

[Heidi Olsen]

Oh man following this forum has been good and bad. Didn't sleep much. 

[GoCParis]

Me right now.

*whew*

[meme1908]

Are we hearing about the scholarship and the fellowship at the same time?

[Cheshirecaitt]

If we get an email today, I'd shoot for a time frame of 1pm-3pm. Right now they are probably about to take an hour for lunch lol. They might have spent the morning organizing stuff to send out and will then email afterward. Or I'm wrong lol

No idea. I'd assume so but Boren's communication is near radio static.

They haven't released any news in nearly a month.

HAHA i actually went back to last year's thread and they got their acceptance emails on the 17th so I'm worried when we'll hear from them!

The 17th last year was a Monday. I guess it would be logical to think today they would release the notices.

If it isn't today, I'd assume it would arrive by the end of the week.

HAHA! I hope they told @borenwannabe's friend the truth and that we will know by the end of the day. I've been on edge all day waiting for an email! I want to know either way, just to put my mind at ease

[InGrad]

I've gotten 3 random emails today and every time i go to check if its from Boren, my heart skips a beat. I need to know for like health safety reasons at this point!
