So NSLI-Y shocked me with an unexpectedly early email! Last year, I remember it was around mid / late April that decisions started rolling out. Well here I was, taking an extremely needed nap, when my mom calls to ask me to renew my brother's library books. Books renewed. Just as I was about to throw my phone aside to go back to sleep, I got an email.

Brought the screen down and what do I find!!! An email from NSLI-Y. I couldn't believe it. It was March 31, 2011 an inconspicuous Thursday lol
Turns out I'm an alternate for Korea 2011 semester. (very thankful to not have been flat out rejected) When I had first applied back in November, I longed to go back to Korea, but as senior year draws to a close, and college is looming closer... I don't know what I'd do. I think if I were to be offered a finalist position, I would have to seriously think about it. I suppose I shouldn't go through this unnecessary worrying though until further notice! Anyhow, I sent in the face page for the passport along with the alternate candidate acceptance form later that night and mailed the hard copy form today after school.
