April Showers



It rained a whole lot yesterday, and Tulane's drainage system, if there is one, wasn't quite able to handle it. When I was preparing to move here, a friend at Tulane sent me a picture of a student walking in rain boots through eight inches of water, and I thought, "Surely, that is a highly irregular event." Nope. I just took my shoes off (and then slipped on my new flip-flops, which conveniently had arrived that very day!).

Enjoy these pictures I took, after I was already very wet. At least it was warm thunderstorm, but the downside was that, were I to take shelter in any building anywhere after already having been exposed to the rain, I would have caught a cold, because the super air conditioning has been switched on and all campus buildings are kept at a comfortable 60 degrees or so.

I never understood what was wrong with keeping the air conditioner at 72F. Isn't that cool enough..?
