Baylor, here we come
So it seems as though its pretty certain that we're going to be at Baylor for at least the semester. The administration has finally given us some concrete information. We're supposed to report for orientation in Houston at 8 am on Sept. 24 (why do they always insist upon having us be places at 8 am?! Come on, is it really necessary?!) and classes start on Sept. 26. Not everythign is certain, like housing and parking. They did say that we'll be using their facilities to do a modified Tulane curriculum, but we're going to share cadavers with Baylor students, which really sucks. As much as it sucks for us, it really sucks for them. I'd be super pissed off if they had told us to share Glen Coco with random students. Plus, I think I'll actually really miss group D5. Even though we had some problems, overall, I really liked all the members of our group. Everyone was able to positively contribute.
Still, I suppose I can't really complain too much. Over the past two weeks, I've spent a lot of time thinking about how lucky I am. Even though it sucks that we have to move to Houston and have a scrambled semester (possibly year), in the long run, I'm pretty much okay. I know from the forum that a lot of people are really upset about the Houston move and the potential shitty housing situation, but I'm kind of having a hard time feeling sorry for myself. I think going to the mall and spending exorbitant amounts of money on new clothes and discussing buying a new car has effectively quelled any feelings of self pity.

Hello - I came across your blog on the internet, and was interested in talking with your cousin, Alexa, because you mentioned how she has gone to Paris b/c Tulane is closed. I am a journalist for The Chronicle of Higher Education and am writing a story about students who actually got to do something fun because of the hurricane, so I would really appreciate the opportunity to get in touch with her. (Hopefully before Thursday night?)
Thanks so much, my email is elizabeth.farrell@chronicle.com, and my phone number is 202.466.1060.
Good luck with the cadaver sharing- your blog is an interesting read!
best,
liz.
