Puerto Rico, here I come
Nothing like a trip to a tropical locale to burst one's morale.

Towards the end of last semester I applied for the McNair Scholarship Program. As it was the first scholarship I had applied for upon returning the the hallowed halls of academia, I was duly nervous, scrambling about to get all the requisites in order.
Upon applying to return to school almost a year before that-during the appeals process that followed-I realized while I begged that my success in the world of higher education would hinge on my ability to seek out and utilize programs like McNair that exists to help me do just that, that is, succeed. (This was one of those databits I didn't consider the first few times I'd given college a try.)
I had a hunch that the program would be both good to me and good for me. Now, as I'm up late working at my computer (ping-ponging between my work, facebook, and this blog), I know it has.
It hit me when they said they'd let me go to Puerto Rico for a week, as a part of a Cultural and Educational Experience.
So because I'm that nice, I'll keep ya'll posted on the further adventures of the black rabbit in the Greater Antilles, starting next monday, Kansan-dot-com-dot-blog style. Stay tuned.
