Monday I found out that I've been chosen as a GWA - Green Wave Ambassador. This organization helps "organize and execute informative and enjoyable on-campus experiences for prospective students and their families." Basically, that means I'll be interacting with prospective students: giving tours of campus, answering questions on student panels, taking students to Bruff, and attending on-campus programs and recruitment events. Prospective students - if you get the opportunity to come take a tour of Tulane, DEFINITELY do it! Hey... I might be your tour guide!
Tuesday afternoon some of my friends and I took advantage of the day's beautiful weather and had a study session in Audubon Park, just across the street from the front of campus. It was so tempting to take a nap on my blanket in the grass under the shade of a beautiful oak tree... but I was a diligent student and forced myself to do Italian homework. However, I enjoyed our study-picnic; what a refreshing way to get homework done!Photo at right: Meg, Michael, and I studying in Audubon Park
Yesterday, I went with a group from the Catholic Center on our Freshman Retreat, which involved a mini-tour of New Orleans. We went to The Fly, Magazine Street, and the French Market, had lunch at Maspero's, and got to spend time in St. Louis Cathedral. I really encourage you to find organizations that suit you when you get here, whether it's a religious affiliation group, a club sport, or an interest club - getting involved with something on campus is a great way to have fun and make friends.

The last big event of my week was GWA training this morning. I got to know some of the other members of Green Wave Ambassadors, learned more about Tulane, and got to see one of the best tour guides in action (Jeff!). Be on the lookout for me leading tours soon!
Alright, time for me to study again... until next time, ROLL WAVE!
