These little town blues

“I don’t like cities. But I like New York.”
- Madonna

For the moment:
Cleopatra in New York – Nickodemus

.

Each week I receive two emails from New York. Newsletters or invitations to talks and discussions from two research organisations. Both have links on this site. Both I’ve applied to intern with in the past.

With Global Policy Forum, I did get a call back. The interview that was meant to be 45 minutes, went on for 90 minutes. 3 months later I found out I didn’t get it.

With Carnegie Council, I did get a reply but the academic article I submitted was not in line with what they do. And since I can’t travel to NY for an interview, they said another academic piece closely related to their work would do.

As for GPF, considering the other somewhat overqualified applicants I was up against, I was not surprise and do plan to apply again later. As for CC, when I do have the determination to write that piece, I will.

I’ve never been fond of cities, but NY is an exception. I was last and only time there was for 3 weeks in July 2006. I heart.

Below are two videos that never fails to make miss NY. Finding Forrester & RJD2’s Work It Out.
