I’m pooped
I went to Taipei today to conduct interviews for Taiwan students who are applying for Fulbright grants to support them in study in the US. There were eight of us on the interview committee. We started at 8:30, interviewed 25 people, and wrapped up at 5:00 this afternoon.
I had to get up at 6:00 to take the bus to Taipei, then I had to take the bus back to Taipei after we were done. Got home about 7:00 this evening.
It was a great honor to be invited to participate in the interview process. Many of the people that we interviewed were outstanding young scholars. We joked that one person in particular will could win a Nobel Prize some day.
Still, I’m pooped.
Oh, and tomorrow I’m going to Kaohsiung to conduct a workshop for the ETAs down there.
How come you had to take the bus *back to Taipei* when you were done?
Was it cool to be back in Taipei? Have any time to see any of your old haunts?
