New Home @ UNO

Dear blog,



I'm here! What an incredible couple days it has been! I've just about settled into my room here at UNO. It's way cute! And the weather here is beautiful!! 3 OL's Kelly, Lindsey, and Vincent came and pick me up from the airport and took me out to get beignets


Then I was surprised with another warm welcome when I arrived to my room. It was decorated by the OL's!




The students leaders have been such an incredible part of this journey! I'm so excited to work with the team. These past couple of days I've had so many experiences already. I got my room settled in, my computer is working great, I took the bus, I went to the grocery store nearby. I even got to go to a NOLA local restaurant and order seafood. 



I even had charbroiled oysters for the first time! So delicious!! Actually all the food here has been amazing! I had Popey's chicken today for lunch, which was soooo good. 
It feels like so much has been going on. I saw the two offices I'll be working at for the first time. I went to the first OL meeting, where I met just about all the OL's. I went to an Alumni event at a local bar/restaurant where I met Dale and other SIL staff members for the first time. I went out to eat today for dinner at a cute mexican restaurant. Basically I love it here and I think I could totally get used to it here. It just feels amazing to be in a new place- I have a permanent smile attached to my face. As I said before, I'm in such a happy state of mind right now. It's like walking on air. 

Smiling as always, 
Cameron :-)
