I haven't started mine yet but have been doing a lot of thinking about it so far. I'm also meeting with a couple of people to hash out my ideas

Hi everyone! I am applying for the 2012-2013 Boren fellowship. I've read all the posts on last years forum and found it very helpful, so if anyone is out there from last year, I'm sure we'd all love your comments. I'm planning on applying to study Czech in the Czech Republic. I'm getting a Master's in Library and Information Science and my classes are all online. This way, I can continue my classes while doing an academic internship in a library in Czech. I speak French and German and have already started to contact the local Czech group and some people I know from Czech so I think I'll be good on the language aspect but I'm very concerned about how to tie Library science into national security. It will definitely not be in the traditional sense. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Also, that comment about the NSEP requirement and finding a job got me concerned too. However, my father works at the consulate in Germany and they apparently help family members find jobs but they're generally store clerk or assistant. Luckily this still qualifies but it'll definitely be a last option.
