Thought I would start a thread for all the ZAU people picked up this most recent panel. Check in here and discuss timelines, check points, paperwork, housing, etc.

Did everyone get their confirmation email yesterday? Im thinking about a week or 2 and we should have interviews set up. I get a weird feeling that they need people there ASAP. Hopefully we can all be in class by October. A friend of mine had ZAU class dates for the great of the year. Ill see if I can track those down.

Any news on how long the wait will be for ZAU to go to OKC?

Yeah I got my confirmation email early this morning. Maybe we'll get lucky and get our calls next week to schedule.

How is Aurora?

^^^ Depends on which part you go to lol. I live about 30 minutes from there. There are some nice parts and some parts that you don't wanna be in. Overall its a pretty good place to live.

I am from a pretty small farm town in Indiana. Do you know much about Sugar Grove? According to Wikipedia it seems really quiet, away from everything, and spread out. It also seemed to.be a fairly wealthy area. I don't know anything about the area, but I am looking for somewhere clean, quiet, and safe. I don't mind driving a half hour or so to work either. Are there any smaller, decent boating lakes in the area? Anything helps!

Where you from Panther? nice to see some locals heading there!

I was born and raised in Wayne's World. It's a city so just like Panther said, some really awesome areas mixed with some straight ghetto. But there's so many other good suburbs to live around in that area as well, all of which have their perks. Not only that, but the access to Chicago is a straight shot. I live there now and I'm considering just doing the CHI-ZAU-CHI commute if I get hired and staying in the Windy City rather than going back to live in Aurora.
