I've realized that part of being a college student is becoming a "night person." Whether you're up late studying or having a night out with your friends, you become a bit nocturnal as you adjust to college life. This weekend has consisted of three different late nights for me: a late stay-in social night, a late go-out social night, and a late homework night. Tonight is unfortunately the hardcore study night; I expect to be up all night working on this architecture project (I'm just waiting for glue to dry as I write this).
So what else has been going on? As always, a lot! I spent most of Thursday night at the Catholic Center's weekly "study social." I took my Italian midterm exam Friday morning... I'm glad that's over with! After my studio class, I rewarded myself with a nap (yeah... naps are GOLD). I had dinner at Bruff with Anne and some other girls, and we decided to make it a Girls' Night In. Emily, Anne, and I borrowed our friend Joe's car for a trip to the grocery store, and we baked some delicious cookies while watching Bridget Jones' Diary with some of our Paterson (the dorm next door to mine) friends in one of Wall's social lounges. Sometimes you just have to take a night off to relax, even if it is a Friday! It was a good laid-back night with the girls, and it kept us well-rested for Saturday...
Saturday was a big day for us GWAs (Green Wave Ambassadors). It was the second of Tulane's fall Campus Preview Days, so prospective students from all over the country came in to visit campus and learn more about Tulane. I was very busy: I had lunch with some families (red beans and rice, yum!), chatted with a few prospective students, answered questions as part of a student panel, and helped out on a campus tour. If you're thinking about coming to Tulane and you have a chance to come to one of these preview days, DO IT! Also, if you have a friend who already goes here, stay with him or her for the night; you'll get a great inside look at life here. I met a few more prospective students when I was out with my friends Saturday night (Sig Ep hosted a "party bus" night for us - school buses brought us around to The Boot, Tucker's, and The Frat House)... but anyway, here's a shoutout to all the "prospies" that came to New Orleans this weekend!
Today/yesterday (this is such an odd in-between hour) was the kickoff of our Homecoming Week. Despite some dreary windy weather with a looming threat of rain, my friends and I attended the first event of the week: the lighting of Pocket Park, along with the announcement of the court, performances by Shockwave (our dance team), and a step show. Very cool! (There's a picture of some of my friends and I before the lighting -- me, Stacey, Bridget, Greg, Blakely, Cameron, Joe, and Lauren.)
It's sadly time for me to get back to my project, but I'll write again soon!
