Hey Guys,

I’m a semi-finalist for Korea summer and Mandarin summer (2nd choice) !!!

I was so excited when I got the email on December 1st that I screamed really loud and then my mom came running up the stairs worried lol.

I was debating with myself whether I wanted to blog about this or leave it out (because there’s still a 50/50 chance I don’t make it)

But you know what? It doesn’t matter because becoming a semi-finalist is an honor itself and why not blog about my experience? 

 I remember finding out about NSLI-Y 2 years ago, but it was too late to apply the first year. The second year I got rejected the first round, and this year I’m a semi.

But honestly, I’m trying not to get my hopes up because it’s really difficult to get in and -  if I don’t get in I’ll be super depressed..
