I keep meaning to update this blog but it hasn't really been happening, since I've been so busy! To give you an idea of my schedule for the next couple months…
April: Prepare for May
May: SATs, holding a bake sale, four AP exams, Speedwell Orientation, preparations for Senegal and Argentina, would like to draft my UWC essays/application materials, rank UWCs, finishing my AP classes and the school year (that's going to be quite the task), production for dance show, go to New York for National Scholastic Art and Writing awards ceremony, a birthday party, get shots and Malaria pills for Senegal, Philly field trip
June: pack for Senegal, finish UWC materials, get things to pack for Argentina and write Argentina packing list, New York reception at Parsons, and regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards ceremony in Philly, leave for Senegal
July: Senegal
August: Go to Argentine consulate in DC to submit my application materials, pack for Argentina, say goodbye to everyone and everything for a year
Oh, and I have to (hopefully) get officially accepted to Argentina and keep working on the Argentine visa process, which is definitely a cultural experience in itself experiencing South American bureaucracy! Hopefully, I'll get my Senegalese host family in early-mid June, and…well, it would be nice to get my Argentine host family before I go to Senegal, but I have no idea when that news will come.
Also, the results of CBYX are coming out today or tomorrow. So far, from the Harrisburg interview location (I am under the impression that about two people will be chosen from our session), two people have been rejected, three of us (including me) haven't heard anything, and the status of three people is unknown. I must admit, I'm still very curious about who gets CBYX, though it's not stressful because I have Argentina, but just exciting! Everyone at my interview session was great, and there are so many qualified applicants, but everyone I've met has definitely deserved a spot!
