Acadiana

Our friend Laura is getting married in Mexico, but we didn't make it to Playa de Carmen. Katrina was a real witch, and Rita and Wilma were her evil stepsisters. So best wishes to the newly married Laura and Carlos -- I wish I could have been there.

Christmas is coming in Acadiana, and the little town of Abbeville is lit up like one big tree. I'm getting to like this town, and Lafayette, too. The more I get to know my way around, the better I feel about a place. Today, for example, I had a fantastic pizza at la Pizzaria, off of Ambassador Caffery, while i did paperwork.

Now that I've paid off all of my debts, I'm starting to plan my return to college. The University of Texas is stuffed to the gills right now and not being very cooperative, so I'm beginning to consider schools nationwide. It would be nice to finish my degree in sunny Hawaii, wouldn't it? But seriously, I'm going to have to work on UT to get them to let me in. I originally moved to Austin so I could go to that school. I won't be thwarted!
