If I wasn’t so sick and achy I would be more excited about this, but:
I just mailed (via express mail so it’ll arrive at its destination tomorrow) my application along with all of my recommendations, transcripts, and foreign language proficiency reports to the Institute of International Education.
What this means is that I am one gigantic leap closer to obtaining a Fulbright Scholarship to go to Germany next year. I cannot tell you how much I want this opportunity. Words cannot describe the agony of waiting I will now be experiencing until I hear about the interview portion of the decision process.
The agony will be even more intense after the interview until the final decision in April or May.
I said a little prayer!
Oy! I’m so neglectful of the new webspace… I assure you that I know I have several more pages to finish in order to have a complete site. I’ve just been rather busy…
Italian is going fairly well, even though the German is starting to make me a little crazy. Today my instructor asked me (in Italian) if I was okay, and I replied, “Ja… gut, er — bene.”
Photography is also okay, though I had a horrible time trying to make any good prints last week. I’m over it, I think. Today I developed my first roll of 120 film! That was terribly exciting for me. On Wednesday I am going to start printing the Veronica Lake project, I hope. My negatives look decent, so I’m optimistic.
I got my photos for the Bell Museum back yesterday and they are happily not all crap! A couple are too dark or blurry, but overall: magnifico!
Also, I hooked up the webcam* out of boredom. Feel free to watch me and my roomies as we sit around our living room! I’ll let you know when we’re having a party so that you can spy on us…
