Insipired by good friend Lisa, I've decided to blog about my life as a graduate student. As an update, I am a geology grad student in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at LSU, hence the me doing the south. Anyways in this blog I will detail my adventures in this new and adventurous place they call the Red Stick (thats this english translation for Baton Rouge).
For my first story of life here Ill tell you about my boy Sean, whom I met last night at the local BWs while I was hanging out with my buddy Steen, a fellow northerner. Steen and I were calmly drinking some brews and rooting for the Patriots, because we both felt like you might never see something like thier season again in a lifetime. Upon a Pats score, the afformentioned Sean would yell "Go back to Boston ya Yankee!" at the top of his lungs. Well after the third time he yelled at this, I felt compelled to point out that we were from Michigan. That led to Sean coming to our table. Here, I must point out that Sean was a very, very diehard LSU Tigers fan....diehard to the point that he was wearing a newly purchased championship hat and tee shirt and he had his ticket from the game around his neck. This guy was a character. We started jawing and eventually we talked about the Packers and he told me he knew Brett Favre personaly, went to Southern Miss with him, told me Brett almost died before his Senior year, and stated he wanted to talk to him because it had been a few years. I loved every minute of it. So it leads me to this conclusion. I need to determine a name for the locals down here. Something along the lines of the Darlys in West Lafayette. When I do I'll let you know but for now every character I see down here I will assume is a "Sean."
