It’s been seven months to the day since I’ve been back. Seven months that have both been very long and very short. In two and a half more, I’ll be returning. Insanity! With that in mind, I’ve decided to break down the last months below, as quite a lot has happened.
August 2013– After spending my last night at Sziget Music Festival in Budapest, I returned back to the US after an over 15 hour flight. RA training started a few days later.
September– University started. Enrolled in my first Master’s level class in Political Science. Met my thesis adviser and began work.
October– Applied to my first MA program. Worked on researching other Master’s programs.
November– Applied for and accepted an internship offer in Berlin. One of my best friends from abroad also came to visit for Thanksgiving!
December– Was rejected from my first MA program.
January– Sent out a bunch of more MA/MSc program applications. Traveled to North Carolina to drop off sister at her university.
February– Accepted into my first MSc program (and Business School along the way!). Booked my ticket back to Europe. Took the FSOT for the second time.
March– Still sending out applications and interviewing for a few schools at the moment. I also found out that I passed the FSOT! Stage two continues later this month.
