SO it’s now been about a month since I left Tulane and New Orleans . . . . . .

I spent my vacation in Russia and India. In Russia we spent a little bit of time with friends, and enjoying the cold weather (though now it’s just as cold in New Orleans!) In India we visited family, all our cousins, and spent time reestablishing connections as the far flung branch of our family. I personally started an account on a version of myspace.com that is popular amongst Indians, just to stay in touch with all my cousins. The vacation was tons of fun, and I miss travelling after being in New Orleans for only two days!

Boy is it strange to be back. A few days after returning from India and Russia, I have to say I wasn’t quite ready for the semester to start. I’m barely getting over my jet lag, let alone getting it together in terms of studying. And of course, I already have homework in three classes!

But there is one thing that made coming back a good experience: the new UC. According to seniors at Tulane, its been three years since they tore down the old one. I just visited the new UC for the first time yesterday and what can I say? It’s totally been worth it!!!!

The new UC is very well-designed, inside and out. Inside there are lots of tables in a several areas with large windows that let in the natural light. It’s much nicer than being holed up in the temporary establishment, known as the Bubble. It has Pandini’s, Wow, a sushi place, Quizno’s, a Euro place, and much more. The food options are now very varied and easily accessible . . . we can no longer complain at all about having the same thing to eat all the time like all college students. They even have an international chef station with different cuisines!

So . . . even though I miss my vacation and still suffer from jet lag . . . I do eat well! Thank you Tulane for the new UC! It rocks!
