Carnegie Fellowship semi-finalist


Although it was rainy today I did get some good news.

I stayed the night over at my dad's house so that I could take my grandmother to the airport at 5 AM for a 7:30 AM flight. I then went back to my house and fell asleep on the couch for an hour. I headed off to school at 8:30 AM for a meeting at 9 with my college's dean regarding my application to the Carnegie Endowment's Junior Fellowship Program. I found out that I have been accepted to be one of two Emory representatives in the competition. It's intense and fierce, but YAY!

The program would provide me with a research assistant job with the Endowment for one year (from August 2006 to August 2007). I would be doing work on Chinese Economic and Political Transitions.

It fits into part of my dream strategy: the Carnegie Fellowship in 2006-2007, a Fulbright Scholarship (to probably go to China or Poland) from 2007-2008 and then graduate school at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School.

Time to make this happen.
