Egypt and Catholic Univeristy

I, my mom, sister and brother are going for a week long trip to Egypt in April. I think it will be a lot of fun, and I intend to do a lot of research about Egypt to maximize the experience of the trip. (Knowing me, the day before I leave is when I’ll be frantically reading about places to visit and what to do.)

I got an e-mail yesterday from Catholic University, which is located in DC (this is one of the schools that interviewed me at the Joint Meetings), and I am happy to announce that I am on their short list. I’m not sure if this means I’ll get an on-campus interview, but it certainly does increase my chances. Wish me luck.

I had intentions of going to Bogota, Columbia with my friend and colleague Alejandro, however, it not looking so likely anymore. I was hoping to use my JetBlue free round trip travel reward – I collected enough points for this – but I think their route to Bogota is so new that the flights don’t yet qualify for this. I called an agent and was told to e-mail JetBlue. Hopefully, they’ll get back to me.
