Gustav

Well I got to experience my first evacuation this week and I have to say it was kind of cool. I was originally going to drive with my roomate to his home in Covington. However, I got out of class even earlier than I expected on Friday so I started to look at flights. I went ahead and booked a flight back to Fort Worth because I would be able to see my little brother and cousins' football game that night. I ended up taking a cab to the airport and luckily three other girls asked to share it with me so I didn't have to pay for a whole cab ride myself, which was nice! As I watched more news coverage I was feeling pretty good about being back in FTW, though when I got in town it almost felt as if I had never left. My brother's football game was exciting to watch and they won 26-20. My little cousin who is a sophomore had a huge sack, which was well worth my trip alone. Then on Monday I watched all the news coverage of Gustav and I was glad to see it was only a category 2 and not worse. It was definitely crazy, but I was pleased to see how well New Orleans was prepared, especially Tulane, for the storm. I am excited to get back on campus on Sunday and I am glad we only had minimal damage to the school! Thankfully God was watching over Tulane and the people overseeing the campus. Now I am just enjoying the rest of my time here in Fort Worth until I fly back, I will also get to see another one of my brother's games so I am pumped about that. I hope that all of you are safe wherever you may be and you're enjoying your unexpected vacation.
