I have arrived!

I got in at noon today after a very uneventful flight. Above is St. Martin Deporres Hall, where I'll be living for the next two months. My room is downright palacial: I get an open double complete with a bathroom, a fridge, and a microwave. What did I do to deserve this. . .?


And, as the building I'm in (seven stories!) is just about the tallest around, there's a pretty great view of the city:
The Xavier campus is beautiful and unique; the buildings are a mixture of old and new and are quite interspersed with the surrounding area. The University is historically black and Catholic, so, needless to say, I stick out like a sore thumb. But sticking out like a sore thumb is a useful experience to have.
