Receive Baruch's C.V. Starr Scholarship

Last Monday I received a letter from Baruch from my C.V. Starr scholarship for studying abroad. I am now a scholarship recipient of theirs. I was so happy because I've been really scared that I will not get any scholarship at all. Now I will have to wait until around the end of June to find out if Gilman will award me a scholarship or not, and I will have to wait until probably sometime in July to find out if anyone rejected a scholarship from Freeman and I become the new recipient or not. All I am hoping for is 1 more scholarship to help cover my expenses. I don't need both, just 1 more.

Meanwhile, I am still waiting for the acceptance package from Kwansei/USAC. So tire of waiting for that but still have to wait. I really don't mind waiting in general but what is bothering me is that I need the package before I buy plane tickets and/or make further preparation. I am worried that the price of plane tickets will go up. My goal is to get the cheapest tickets possible. Sigh...already mid-June. I hope it is coming soon...very soon. In the meantime, more waiting.

Acceptance...waiting pd

I've been officially accepted into Kwansei Gakuin University at Osaka, Japan. I can't wait until I arrive, but before that I am worried about funds that I need to study abroad. I am still uncertain if I will receive any scholarships that I applied for.

Freeman said I am a backup candidate. Gilman, I am still waiting for an answer. As for bridging, they have denied me T_T *tears*

I hope they will let me know soon if I can get the scholarship or not. I also hope the acceptance packet can arrive soon because I need to apply for visa, buy plane tickets, arrange everything, and still need to find a job for the summer. Sigh...so much to do =\
