Wonderful news! I was thrilled to hear about it a couple days ago, though I was too busy to post it then. The graduate school has just seen fit to award me the O.N. Allen Graduate Scholarship this year! Awesome!

Yeah, so the scholarship award was based on my undergraduate record and GRE scores, and my project description. I’m not entirely sure what the history of the award is, but I’ll know soon enough. It’s good to learn about the history of these things. Anyway, I’m not sure when I’ll be getting it, but at some point in the near future I’ll probably have a nice piece of fancy paper with my name on it, and a huge cash windfall to the tune of five hundred dollars.

Ahem, five hundred dollars! Muh huh hah ha ha ha!

I’m going to blow it all on candy whistles and moon pies. Actually, no, I think this is going to defray some wedding costs that I’m incurring.

Now it’s official, I’m a scholar. I just need to work on becoming a gentleman…
