Oh, well.

Not a great day.

So, I'm not going to India, due to the fact that Nixon opened up China and pissed off the conservatives in his party. Long story. That's okay. It's not going anywhere.

Two granting agencies turned me down. They were both filtered through GSAS people, so perhaps that had something to do with it. Oh, well. Now it's down to Wenner-Gren (yeah, right), NSF (doubt it), and IAF (I don't think so). 2 out of 8 isn't bad.

Tomorrow is another day.

Travel Travail Travaille

Less than a month before my Brazil trip. Later, to Liberia. After that, India. Back to NYC in between, before I drop down to the DR for a good, long spell.

One love, though people seem convinced otherwise.

3.5 for 4, so far.

Dissertation Funding.

Up to today, I had received an internal grant for my research. I got the mail today, though, and found out that I received a Fulbright for my dissertation work. Also, my application is being reviewed in the second/final stage for Wenner Gren. I did get shot down for SSRC funding. Oh, well. That makes 3.5 out of 4 grants with a positive response.

I still have 4 more grants that I have yet to hear from: Inter-American Foundation, Fulbright-Hayes, National Science Foundation, and Columbia GSAS.

But already, I'll be doing well while in the DR.
All things that are good are of God.

From...the beginning.

It's a slow and steady process...putting yourself back together again. I'm on my way, but to where, I have no idea. It is the yoga of putting life on track and following it that is important, not where it takes you.

To the love that will never die: myself as others as they are of and in everything, including myself.
