Tulane changes over the summer..

I mentioned in my last entry that Tulane's campus seems very different during the summer session(s)... I thought I would describe that in a little more detail for you guys, since I don't have much else to report this week! So here are some things I've noticed: \

  • Dorms are emptier, and a lot of the residents are at Tulane for special programs, Orientation, or summer workouts (for athletes).
  • There's a very different crowd at both Reily and Bruff - a lot of this is due to the summer camps going on right now ... there are so many!
  • It's much easier to find a parking space.. yay!
  • Um, it's hotter. I'm glad it's not THIS hot/humid all year, because it would make walking to class every day a miserable experience. (I'm just glad my summer classes are in the morning!)
  • I miss eating in Bruff, and I miss a lot of my friends.

You'll notice that over the summer, you'll really miss Tulane, New Orleans, your friends, etc. I felt that "homesickness" earlier this summer, and I know my friends are too - some of the lucky ones actually make a trip back over the summer. Actually, two of my friends (one from Maine and one from Connecticut) made it back to NOLA for the weekend, so I was excited to have visitors!

Alright, I'm going to get back to studying; I have a test tomorrow. Wish me luck!
