I'm freaking out because the State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has a program called the Critical Language Scholarship for students to spend nine weeks abroad in intensive language study and travel...
...all expenses paid.
Undergrads and grad students, plus students up to two years past either graduation can go. I can even go next summer if I really wanted to, because I'll have completed two years of Chinese.
So. Damn. Excited.
And now I'm thinking about switching up my major to a Chinese Studies "Special" major and Japanese minor. The major is special because I have to petition to declare it. But it's the Chinese language and history/cultural classes that I want, plus Japanese language for fun. I think that if I really want to do International Relations, I'll just go to grad school for it.
