See you in Brazil, abcd!

That's the eventual plan. I want to ride the scholarship train as long as I can, then grad school. What about you? I hope they come out this week so I know whether I should keep looking for jobs or not. I'm so tired of cover letters.

I only sent in an eval for Spanish. Other than that, our apps sound terrifyingly similar. I hope we hear by Friday -- the time crunch is getting real.

Full year or semester program? I'm interested in drug trafficking as well, particularly since many groups that traffic drugs also traffic people or dabble in other crimes. I can speak Spanish and but I don't have a background in Portuguese, so I'm worried the language portion will hurt my application. Fingers crossed! Hopefully we will both be in Brazil next year.

Hi abcd! What are you interested in learning about in Brazil? I talked about international crime -- I want to study in Rio and Florianopolis, so the locations aren't terribly creative. I'm planning to delay graduation if I get the Boren, which makes the late April deadline killer. I'm going to have to turn down a job offer this Friday to keep waiting until we hear back. The Boren is my first choice, but it's making me nervous because I have to pass up other opportunities..
