I guess so, nothing on my end yet. Neither of the e-mail addresses I normally use are recognized on the awards page, is that bad?

It is only bad when it starts working for others and not for you.

Arg. I don't know if I can handle being this unproductive for this entire week. I wish I could convince my brain of the truth that checking my email more frequently won't actually make the email come any sooner.

I feel like I need an intervention after checking this forum and my email every 1-5 minutes throughout today.

A lot of people have been saying that emails didn't go out until 5:10. If they sent them right before they left the office it'd make sense that we wouldn't hear anything for a few minutes. I'm still hopeful it'll be today...or my liver will pay for it.

Vernon- by the ski resorts in north NJ. Went to TCNJ and now, like I said, at FSU (Tallahassee). You?

Trying to register so we can continue this via private messages. No need to continue chatting on the main thread.

In other news, still no word from SMART. That should at least keep this post somewhat on topic.[/quote]

--I tried to register but it doesn't seem to be sending me the confirmation e-mail. :-/

Minutes away... I hope!!!![/quote]

Yes, same for me. I tried twice even. Well maybe we'll eventually get it then continue from there. I have a couple acquaintances at USF...maybe more of a group affiliation. More to come on that when we finally get registered.[/quote]


Cool! Yeah ill see if this thing lets me register.

No e-Mail yet.... :-/!!!!
Nervous....

While I know it's not really a consolation, remember that this is the government we're dealing with. To-the-minute punctuality is not really something Uncle Sam is famous for, so there's not much point in worrying about it.

Yup.

my understanding is that ndseg = smart + work contract
so would it be that if you don't get smart, you won't get ndseg either?

You have it backwards. NDSEG + Work Contract = SMART. I.e. NDSEG is just a three year felliwship with no strings attached. And from what I can see the applications are mutually exclusive; you can't accept both, but you can definitely be offered both.

I CANNOT take another day of this haha! I'm going to drive myself crazy. Needless to say the brews in the fridge will still be cracked tonight to just relieve the stress of this where's waldo email. I feel bad for my professor who will have to read my paper that's due Friday if we do not find out soon. I've done nothing all day but wait.
