  1. I had to reply to this as soon as I saw you were torn with the decision to leave Galicia--I used to teach there last year! I also wasn't sure if I should stay there or leave (though to try another region of Spain) because I too fell in love with it. After much agonizing, I decided to move to San Sebastian so I could experience another side of Spanish culture. Though I don't regret my decision (I've had some incredible experiences here, met wonderful people, and have a much better school), I don't think I would have regretted staying in Galicia either. I was just there for Semana Santa and was reminded of how magical it is. Now that I am off to Russia on a Fulbright, I am a little daunted by the idea of starting over in a third place in three years (but obviously more excited than nervous!). And I speak more Russian than Basque or Galician Basically, I don't think either decision will be bad. If you go to Andorra, you'll be with a better, more organized program. You'll have a completely new cultural experience and you'll probably pick up some Catalan. But if you stay in Galicia, you'll deepen your ties there and build on your experiences from this year. I think it just comes down to if you want breadth or depth of experience. Good luck with your decision and congrats on having two great options!
  2. I was rejected when I first applied in '08 (didn't even get an interview). With a lot more relevant experience and an entirely new application, I was selected, so you should definitely apply again!
  3. Another Russia full grant! Sooooo excited!
  4. I'm coming out of the lurker woodwork because the anticipation is slowly killing me. I just called the DC office and they said Russian applicants might not find out until LATE APRIL. Please tell me this isn't true. Big congrats to those getting accepted by Spain today! I am currently an English teacher here, so if you have any questions about life in Spain, don't hesitate to ask!
