A Scholarship to China
April 22nd, 2010 | Categories: School | 17 CommentsRemember the big project I’ve been waiting to hear back on? Well, that “project” was actually an application for a scholarship to help cover the expenses of studying abroad in China during my junior year. And today… I found out that I got it.
I can’t even begin to describe how ecstatic and relieved I am right now. Life doesn’t get much better than this.

Hi, I'm Manda. I'm a college student studying communications and languages. I like to read, shop, bake, and travel. I have a tendency to listen to my favorite songs on repeat for hours on end. Sometimes I catch myself thinking in a language other than English. 
congratulations :D
you deserve it, it’s obvious you work way too hard :)
YAAAAAY!!! Congratulations, Manda! :D
That’s excellent news! Congratulations! :)
CONGRATULATIONS SMARTY PANTS! :) China is awesome :P
Oh my goodness! CONGRATULATIONS :D That’s intense and amazing :D
I think that will be the main regret I have over college (once I get over all the other chaos anyway) is that I never went abroad. Congratulations, Manda! I know it’s a great feeling. It’s like winning the lottery. Waiting for mine to come in with my thesis grade, and with job apps eventually!
Congratulations Manda! That’s fantastic news!
