I'm safe!

Mom, Dad, and Auburn friends...I know you've wondering what I'll do if confronted by a gunslinging desperado. Fortunately, TCU's campus is watched by the same silent guardians as Auburn's. These symbols of security make Fort Worth feel a little more like home. I hope that knowing they're here helps you all sleep more soundly.

this is not Fort Worth

For those of you who imagined I was moving to a place like this, rest assured. I didn't.

So they do have water, irrigation, and rain here, plus what comes along with that--green things.

These shots from campus will give you an idea of how nice it is here.

I took a stroll around campus yesterday with my faithful Nikon. Here's a glimpse of the campus. That yellow brick is everywhere! I prefer it to red already.









Here's Jarvis Hall. Among other departments, it houses Religious and Spiritual Life. Having just graduated from a public university, this concept is blowing my mind. Of course, the department is pluralistic, but that doesn't keep me from appreciating the amazing things they do for us. Rob has an office in here (a campus minister with an office on campus is unheard of). He's considered Assistant Staff, which may not be enough to get him a paycheck, but it has gotten him furniture, rec center access, and a Macbook Pro. He's not complaining.

Now brace yourself for this--I met the department chair yesterday, and she's making me assistant staff! Tell me that's not sweet! Fellow interns, eat your hearts out!
