Sunday August 28, 2005 my mom woke both my brothers and I up to pack and clean the house because we were leaving that day to go to Dallas, Texas for the storm. While my mom sat in the living room on the computer making hotel reserves for my grandmother, aunts, uncles, and also for us, I was in the room watching the news about the storm. I really didn’t think anything of it; I just saw it as another vacation just like the other times we evacuated, so I brought my school books because I had something to do in biology for Dr. Hunter. So it took us 12 hours to get to Texas, and we stayed for 2 weeks until the hotel started threatening to kick us out because we weren’t able to continue to pay for the rooms. My mom received a phone call from a friend saying she could get us a house out in Georgia, so we left that night she told us. I arrived to Georgia and went straight to Clark Atlanta and registered for school. My time spent in Georgia was a miserable one for me. I was placed in an unfamiliar environment with people I didn’t know and a culture that seemed totally opposite of New Orleans. The most frustrated part was knowing that I will not be able to go back home. After five months of misery Xavier University of Louisiana reopened in January so I was able to comeback to school , the only real big difference now is the fact that I have no relatives living in new Orleans, they’re either staying in Texas of like my mom moved to Georgia.

My thoughts on Theology 1120 on the first week of school was that it is would be boring and dull, just because of the whole classroom set up. It’s located close to a main street where you can always hear the XU police and the custodian worker in the background, the classroom is big and empty so it’s kind of hard to grasp what people are saying in the class because of the echo. But that’s just my thought on the first week.

My expectations for what exactly life, school are both? I’ll guess I’ll comment on both. I have high expectations about everything I do, its just the following through part that always mess me up. In school I want to do well of course, just like everyone else. I had a plan that I would make the Dean’s list this year and all good things grading scale wise.
My Life’s expectation and professional vocation. I have an ideal picture that when I graduate from Xavier I’ll apply to many Medical Schools in hopes to get in, but thinking realistically I don’t plan to get in right after school so what I’m striving for is to find a good paying job that I can work for a year and a half just to save up enough money to backpack around Europe for awhile (during that time I will be taking classes and etc. planning for the MCAT). After graduating from medical school I want to move to Boston or somewhere up north to work in a hospital as an OB/GYN.
My thoughts on the bible and biblical studies, well honestly I am very interested in it. The whole biblical idea of the creation, life’s meaning, the idealogical thinking of societies seems very interesting. Also studying the biblical history could help uncover the trues about the religious world or findingout about the biggest hoax known to mankind… religion.
