Here's the latest for me: I've been e-mailing this alum off and on that my targeted group's AI Coordinator put me in touch with a couple months back. She's very nice. Anyway, I hadn't gotten a response from the last e-mail I sent her about a month ago, so I was gearing up to drop her another "Hi, hello, how are you?" e-mail, when tonight - out of the blue - SHE CALLED ME!!
I was so thrilled, and a little nervous! But I felt very comfortable talking to her and I feel it went well. She told me she's meeting with the AI Coordinator next week and wanted to fill out some prospective member paperwork while talking to me rather than via e-mail.
I felt it went very well and am going to drop a handwritten "Thank You" note to her in the mail tomorrow. And maybe an e-mail before that too! I'm all on pins and needles about this. I want this SO MUCH and I know this is the group for me. Not be be dramatic (and commit a form of "suicide" as the undergraduates call it), but if they say "No can do" I'll be really disappointed and will definitely not pursue AI anymore.
Anyway, please keep your fingers crossed for me! I think this is good!
Another update...someone called!!
