Now that we've come.....

to the end of the road (B2M), I would like to sum up my first year of college with a list (lists are my fave):

1.) I made a bunch of new friends
2.) Grades were relatively good (*see 2/14/08 post)
3.) Became relatively involved (THEM, choir, etc.); hope to be more involved next semester
4.) Balanced everything with work (if you must work, be a DSC)
5.) Survived my first Mardi Gras (*see the Mardi Gras post)
6.) Had an awesome Spring Break in LA
7.) Found my way around the city only getting lost like 3 times
8.) Figured out the crappy take-out restaurants
9.) Considered a double-major
10) Wrote a bunch of blogs
11) Applied and was hired as an RA for next semester

So basically: Tulane + New Orleans = (way)better than high school

See all you freshies next semester.
The End

.........

......(head hung in shame)

I know.

Pratically a month.

But I've been very busy, so it's not like I've just been hanging around goin to Bourbon.

First off, I've had like 2 or 3 a cappella performances. Not only performances, but the entire month of April has pretty much been encompassed by recording sessions and editing for our new album, "Let THEM Eat Cake". Btw, the CD is gonna be off the chain so if you want a copy just email me (tscott@tulane.edu) and I'll hook you up. Oh and check out our site www.tulane.edu/~them.

Second, I've had RA training for the past 5 weeks. And I found out that I will be an RA in Mayer next semester, which was my first choice, so I'm very excited.

Third, school was really intense these last couple of weeks so I had to buckle down and study; which has paid off for the most part since I've gotten A's and B's on last couple of tests.

And slightly off subject, I've still been seeing a lot of prospective students around campus, so that makes think that maybe next year's class is gonna be huge. Last I heard a couple of weeks ago, the enrollment was at 1600; already 200 more compared to my class this year. And if you haven't done so already, don't forget to send in your security deposit to secure your spot in next year's class.

Anyways, back to me....btw that's not meant to sound egotistical at all.

I went to a Hornets game about 2 weeks and that was awesome even though I couldn't stay the whole time because I had rehearsal but whatev.

And as far as choir is concerned, this past week has been the busiest all semester:

-Monday, Dress rehearsal for Concert #1

-Tuesday, Concert #1

-Wednesday, Dress rehearsal for Concert #2 & Concert #3

-Thursday, Concert #2

-Sunday(tomorrow), Concert #3

Plus I had the oral part of my French final this past week.

So needless to say, I've been really involved and loving every minute of it.

I hope my readers haven't abandoned me.

Peace, Love, Tyrone

Back to Reality

Break was awesome. I didn't want to come back so soon but alas, I am here.

One thing that I have been noticing is that there have been a lot of campus tours. Then it hit me that this is the same time I came to visit Tulane last year. I can remember it like it was yesterday.

It was a rainy humid day and my mom and I had just left our hotel downtown. I was so nervous driving up to the school that I almost passed it. Once we got into Richardson Memorial and I saw the first slide show, I was really excited to hear more. Then after hearing President Cowen speak I almost knew right then, that I had made my decision to come to Tulane.

Many of you high school seniors will be making your final college decisions in the next couple of weeks and I encourage all of you to visit the schools that you are considering. You may find that the school you thought was perfect may not feel right at all, or that one of your safety schools is actually the perfect fit for you. Whatever your decision, make sure you consider all of your options.

If you have any questions about Tulane just hit up me at tscott@tulane.edu

Ok, so enough words of wisdom. Here are some pictures from LA:

Out of the office, leave a message.

Tyrone is chillaxin' in LA for Spring Break. Be back next week with some great pics!

au revoir

Springtime for Tyrone

Ok so it's not really Spring but it feels like it. Especially since its 69 and sunny as I am typing this.

As far as my life right goes, its sorta busy. I'm in the process of applying and interviewing to be an RA for next semester. It's sort of nerve-wrecking but I'm excited at the same time. I've already done the individual interview and I just got back from the group interview/activity. I really hope I get the position but I won't know until next Monday, so be on the lookout for that announcement.

Also my a cappella group is recording it's 3rd album this week and we're really pumped. There are gonna be some oldies and some new stuff too, but either way it's gonna be our best album yet. Btw, we are pre-selling CDs so if you're interested just shoot me an email (tscott@tulane.edu) because we have a tendency to sellout the week its released.

It's still midterm time right now but everyone has motivation since Spring Break is right around the corner.

I think that's my life in a nutshell as of now. So now I will leave you with a photo gallery from the Tulane Greek step show hosted by Xavier University this past Friday:

So...

The weather has been really nice here the past week.
I mean like really nice.

Obama was here last week.
I didn't to hear his speech cause' I came to late but he stopped and talked to the people outside first so I still got a good picture.



THEM is performing in the French Quarter this weekend; hopefully it doesn't rain.

Oh, I made the Dean's List! I would like to say I got $100, a cookie, and a brand new camera but I all I got was a piece of paper.

Today is Valentine's Day and I don't have a Valentine but I don't care cause my mom sent me a package full of cavities, I mean candy, plus season 3 of Martin on DVD.

And now a poem:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
College is sweet
But hanging out in LA with my cousin during Spring Break will be sweeter

The End

Mardi Gras....need I say more

We're in the midst of Mardi Gras as I write this so I just thought I'd give the first year perspective of it along with some of my guidelines:

1.)Get lots of sleep
2.)Eat sometime (sounds simple enough but plenty of people here forget to eat)
3.)Always have a group friends or at least one buddy
4.)Don't rush to get the parades because they'll probably start late
5.)Do all school work before Friday night
6.)If you invite people from out of town make sure you keep an eye on them around
campus (if they go down, you go down)
7.)Sleep some more
8.)Have fun (but not emergency room fun)

Now are a few photos from the festivities so far:

Not much too say

There's not a lot to say this week. I have a lot of work. French is confusing. I'm tired of hearing about rushing. I'm just tired in general. It's a typical week.
Here's a picture for your enjoyment (my niece):









The End

New Orleans Sweet New Orleans

I am back.

I know y'all are excited so quit floodin my inbox with emails.

But seriously I'm pretty happy to be back at school. Not saying that my break wasn't good but there's just a point where you get bored of sitting around doing nothing. But I did get to go visit my brother, sister-in-law, and their baby in North Carolina so that was pretty cool. I also wrote/arranged a couple of songs too. Oh I can't forget "Juno". That is the best movie I've seen so far this year (whatever I don't care if there's only been 16 days this year).

As far as classes go, I felt alright about my schedule until I actually went to the classes. By the end of my first day I realized I had too much on my plate and that I would have to change my schedule a bit. So no Latin American Studies for me this semester. It wasn't the course load itself but the course load plus the community service. As a student at Tulane you realize that at one or another you will need to a service-learning course but there are only so many courses that fulfill that requirement, so make sure you plan your schedule accordingly.

Besides classes, I'm really ready to start singing again. Hopefully I will be able to do Chamber Choir, as well as the Tulane Choir and my a cappella group. And I also got a new supervisor for my desk job, so there are definitely a lot of changes this semsester. I just hope I can do as well (grades wise) as last semester.
