I'm just back from campus after catching the end of a talk by James Carville - an event organized by a student committee, impressively. On Tuesday, May 1, Al Gore will be here to give his An Incovenient Truth presentation. This is good news for everyone who missed the Sheryl Crow/Laurie David Stop Global Warning College Tour visit to New Orleans, scheduled for the same night as Toni Morrison. (This is way too small a city for this kind of counter-programming.)
Next week is the last week of classes. We're all exhausted. In creative writing, we're having a party for all our graduating seniors. I've been at Tulane three years; some of these students were in my class the first semester I taught here. I'm really sad to see them go.
There's good news from various former students this week: Joyce Turner got into the MFA program at Iowa, and Jeff Colosino has a place at Johns Hopkins. They're both very talented writers, and I'm delighted they got into such good programs.
Has it really been three years? It seems like only yesterday that I was in your living room, talking about prog with TMiddy while you made fun of us and admonished me to leave so you could sleep.
