Official 2010 Applicant List

[thewingedwitch]

Roll call time! Concept and format stolen from this thread.

I'm no longer adding new people to the list--from now on the only updates will be upgraded alternates or people who are on the list and neglected to update. Instructions stay up for the poor fool who decides to take this on next year.

If I've made a mistake, your name is not on here after I've updated, or you want to be removed, PM me

Reply using this format. Put a * before your name if you've applied before.

Updated! (My Friday night.)

Edit:

I was waiting for a thread like this! I didn't want to start one myself :P

I figure it's a good focus for my OCD now that there aren't many more SoPs to nitpick, hahah. Though someone will have to take over for me if I don't make it at any point of the process, I'm not enough of a masochist to keep updating this when I don't get an interview or something. :P

[thewingedwitch]

Updated!

Us Californians should overtake them soon :P I remember you, fellow Bay Area applicant... I'm now moving to LA in January so I applied through the LA consulate. Booooooo.

I definitely had a nightmare about my app last night haha

Haha, what happened? At least it's time to kick back and not worry anymore... right? :P

[tiphylou]

I dreamt that I made all sorts of spelling errors and that I put everything in the wrong order and also forgot things. Ahhhhh, I was really confident until I actually put my packet together and sent it. Now I'm just nervous lol
