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:
