Back in Business

I haven't posted in forever. I definitely need to get back on my game. It's the end of a school year, and those who know about academia know that it's the end of most of the excitement. My office is empty - hasn't been that way in...hmmm, ever! It's been a good year, I must say. My first job - success. I'm looking forward to the beginning of next year already. This summer should be interesting, to say the least. What will Wake and Winston be like without all the students? Probably quite boring, lol. But I'll try to enjoy myself, have some fun, get some things done. I definitely will get back on my blogging.

I've been having a lot of conversations of late with graduating seniors. It brings back a lot of memories, to say the least. The main thing I've been telling them is that things change when they leave, but not always in the ways they might expect. As I saw myself when I left school, you will be surprised who you keep in contact with, and what you think about your time spent. Those you thought would be your best friends may fall by the wayside, and people you never considered as close friends may come closer to your heart. It's crazy.

Well...that's it for now. May be an abrupt ending, but that's a blog for you, lol. More to come.

Last Night

It's the last night in New Orleans. I must say I've eaten some good food the whole time I've been here. Fried catfish, shrimp (skrimps), po' boys. Tonight I had some alligator sausage (the bomb!!) and jambalaya, crawfish ettoufette...so good. I love the food down here. Tomorrow morning it's on to H-Town. I'm definitely gonna be eatin' steak all day, lol. Since we're leaving at 6am, I think I'll head to sleep soon. More to come.

Let Us Break Bread Together

Ate at this dope restaurant today - Remoulade - in New Orleans, it's on Bourbon. I hat a combo fried basket - fried catfish, oysters, and shrimp. It was good, except they didn't have any hot sauce (other than Tobasco, which for anyone who eats hot sauce knows isn't hot sauce). Hit the streets after that...saw some strippers (in the street, not in the strip club), some street walkers, some TNA...NOLA is crazy. Whatever. Bout to hit them sheets. Holla in the morning.

PS- Oh yeah, doesn't this bread from the restaurant look like the original communion bread? Hahahahaha!

At the Hornets' Game in New Orleans


We were mad far up in the stands. I felt like I was climbing Mt. Everest. One false step and it was over...Shout out to Wake's Gospel Choir for doing their thing with the National Anthem.
