first week in the South



Lucille, i really am starting to feel ya on this one.
my first week of classes is complete! so far, so good! i’m taking four classes this semester, two of which are pretty much biology classes for non-biology students, which is perfect for me, because i am nerdy & i love making flashcards. at this point, i have classes just three days a week, and I feel like it’s time to start looking for a job.
it’s quite cold here (it was just 40 degrees this morning), and people are starting to gear up for carnival season. we’ve had two king cakes at our house already— i thought those were just eaten on Epiphany (January 6th), but apparently here in Louisiana that’s just the day you start eating them. Saturday is the first big parade here (Krewe du Vieux), and really i have no idea what to expect. photos to follow!
