Boy is it great to be back in New Orleans! I was home for only a few hours before I was ready to return, but the wait is finally over. Don’t get me wrong, I did miss home and I still do – I just missed Loyola more. Last week marked the beginning of classes for this semester and things are looking up.

I believe what makes college a great experience is the independence that I’ve grown so accustomed to. It’s strange, one would think less responsibility would be more enjoyable, but I really like the fact that I’m responsible for everything I do. Only I can make decisions for me. Being more or less on your own really does put things in perspective.

In short – I’m happy to be home.
