Rice juice and pineapple - together at last

I don’t think I mentioned, but the Rotary scholarship goes towards a(nother) masters degree. I’m attending ULACIT, part of the Laureate University system, for an MBA with an emphasis in HR. It’s a private school with the coldest air conditioning south of Texas. It’s such a meat locker, I wear my only long sleeved shirt to class. I love it. Sometimes, I just hang out there to soak up the cool air.

The selection process was pretty rigorous. It came down to the only school that responded to my emails and phone calls! I actually had a Guatemalan friend try to get the national university to send me an application and entrance requirements. I’m still waiting for them.

Thank the Lawd that I had an awesome adviser who hooked me up with my roommates and kept my spot, even though I couldn’t pay tuition until two days before classes started. She was great and even chaperoned me to class the first day.

By the way, anybody who comes to visit me gets to eat the finest chicken wings this country has to offer – prepared by the festive and fiery university cook, Lupe. We’ll wash it down with some of their rice/pineapple juice concoction. Free refills if you flirt with the cashier. It’s seriously the best fruit and starch pairing I’ve ever had.
