Bloggering:

As a successful applicant for this amazing award, I thought I ought to blog it. Just to clarify, by no means is this official, nor should it act like a "success guide" for future applicants. It is simply a personal account of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. For more official information, check out the US-UK Fulbright website, where you'll also find my own bio. However, if you've stumbled across this blog, and are hoping to apply yourself, or just simply have questions, I'd be more than happy to find you the answers. Just bear in mind, my account is not the be all and end all of the Fulbright Summer. I do hope I don't put anyone off - I would urge you all to apply (provided you're eligible of course!) as it no doubt will be a life-changing experience. Lastly, to my friends in the UK, I will miss you all so terribly! Enjoy your Summer, stay safe, and get some well deserved rest. Take care, Cheng x

Week 1 & 2

Crazily busy.
We've had quite a number of trips, classes are becoming routine, and dining hall food is getting sickening. It really has been so fun though. I've finally finished both the Obama book and The Soloist. The Soloist was great - it really incorporated a lot of my own interests such as music and psychology. The Obama book however would not get such a great review from me.
First essay has been completed, graded and returned. First speech has been prepared, given and analysed.
We also had a trip to a mosque, as part of American Diversity class; Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, which was just so, so incredible; Philadelphia Museum of Art, super duper; and a homestay, which was really amazing.
I can't believe it's already been two whole weeks. Crazy.
