I lost a lot in my dorm room there - a sofa, mattress, about five G's worth of clothes - but I did escape with what was most important: my car and my computer.
It was phenomenal. We actually got to listen in on the House of Representatives meeting. It's amazing how many people it takes to run the state.
If anything, I think my grades will improve this semester. The classes I have here this semester are much easier than what I was taking at Xavier.
The programs are so fun and unique, and I've found people as friends.
The food, the jazz culture, the lovely ladies; I miss everything about New Orleans.
At Xavier I was a biology and pre-med double major, but they handle pre-med differently out here and I am not in the program yet. My classes are totally different. I went from molecular biology and other science courses to English classes like Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages.
I got to Tucson on the 6th and had a full schedule of classes that same day. The teachers were all willing to work with me and have been good about taking my situation into consideration.
