Ireland again?

I applied with the Friends of Saint Patrick Young Ambassador Program, which would have me doing peace studies and international relations for 3 or 4 weeks this summer in Belfast. Well, today I got this letter:

Dear Gregory,

Thank you so much for applying to the Friends of Saint Patrick Young Ambassador Program. I am delighted to tell you that your application has been reviewed by our Selection Panel and you will be invited to interview.

So now I drive up to Milwaukee a week from Saturday and have an interview. Basically, I pitch what research that I want to carry out and what I want to study while I'm there.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Congratulations Greg, best of luck to you.

**Finn** · 25th March 08, 07:03 AM

Wow! That's great! Enjoy yourself! What do you think you want to research?

**Arlen** · 25th March 08, 08:21 AM

That's fantastic news, Greg!
The very best of luck to you. Keep a hold of that white heather I gave you!

Sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Best of luck.

**McFarkus** · 25th March 08, 08:39 AM

Congratulations! Will this mean more opportunities for international pub crawls?

Dear Gregory

**Dirk Skene** · 25th March 08, 08:46 AM

Good luck. Be sure to tell us about it all when you get back from Milwaukee.
Ireland for an extended stay would be cool.

I want to do ethnomusicology in relation to the politics in Northern Ireland. How it evolved and developed, how it was used a political force, it's influences, etc.

Studying that also gives me a chance to play and study music while I'm there.
