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 3 & 4

Even more crazy, but amazing still. Again, every single day has been completely unique. I don't think there's ever been such a long period in my life where I could really say I've had a new experience, learnt something new, and done something different, every single day.
Currently feeling exhausted. Seriously. But it's worth it. I'm really enjoying every single moment of this whole programme.
Our trip to New York was pretty hectic. Going with a group of 24 to such an enormous place isn't really possible to do without at least some hectic-ness. The following day, we went to Wildwood - a beach on the New Jersey shore. A couple of days later, I read in the news that there was a shark that found its way on the New Jersey shore... Anyway, on Sunday we went to Ben's barbeque - there we ate, and were eaten. (Mosquitoes.) It was cool though. The next day, we took a trip to the Philadelphia Free Library, Tuesday was the reception for the Fulbright scholars, Wednesday I visited the Masonic Temple in Philadelphia - one of the largest, ever, apparently. Today, I procrastinated.
