<p>It would be funny to prank call other semifinalists. "Hello, this is Intel." <em>person on the other end screams</em> "Haha, j/k." Not that I'd actually do that. ;)</p>
<p>haha that would be SO cruel.</p>
<p>Anywho, semifinalists, get ready, looks like things are starting up--I just got the call!!!! See you guys in D.C. :D</p>
<p>For all we know, the East Coasters may get called earlier. It would make sense to start (calling) from the East and then work west.</p>
<p>Wait -- YOU GOT CALLED?!</p>
<p>haha I think this has yet to fully sink in but I did just get a call from the Science Service ;) Apparently I was on speakerphone with all the STS people but I was so dumbfounded I just had no idea what to say! I felt so dumb :p</p>
<p>Congratulations. I hope they're doing it in reverse alphabetical order. :-P</p>
<p>Congrats! OK, if anyone gets called, post when you were called and your time zone. (we're neurotic, hehe)</p>
<p>Man, what is this? The phone calls should be coming in now, people!</p>
<p>Congrats, Guitarman. We aren't really expecting a call; semi-finalist was like lightning striking since it was her first serious research project. But I am so happy for you, and others here whom I am sure will get a call.</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>hehe by the way, I guess this debunks the certificate theory, eh?</p>
<p>I forget, did you ever receive the certificate?</p>
<p>Sure did. I think we all did, anyway. Duality, get the call!!!! Would love to see you in D.C. ;)</p>
<p>Congrats! . . so that makes you . . the only one</p>
<p>Indeed. Well, at least I got...ummm....</p>
<p>Nevermind.</p>
<p>Thanks, Heather's friend! I'm pulling for you, too. No matter what, I predict I'll see one of you guys (Schreiberers...if that's a word...hmm) there. Mathematically the odds are in your favor ;) And besides, I can't be the only astro geek there :p</p>
<p>C'mon, anyone else? (or anyone know somebody who's been called?)</p>
<p>Very strange. Where are all the phone calls??</p>
<p>no calls yet in central time zone</p>
<p><em>tacklehugs</em> Congratulations!! (to guitarman)</p>
<p>...but if you were on speakerphone with all the STS people, aren't the phone calls going to take forever?</p>
<p>(erm, right, and I still haven't written that PM. but I will.)</p>
<p>wait, quantumguy, have you checked with everyone in central time zone? or have you just personally not gotten a call (yet)?</p>
