2005 Ford Crown Victoria

Seven months after making it to the States I've finally bought a car! It's a former Texas police car and seems to go pretty good. I'm lucky petrol is so cheap here cos it's got a v8 engine. I can't wait to go on a few road trips in the weekend to see what else this country has to offer. Fingers crossed it doesn't give me too many problems...

Life in Louisiana is going pretty well, it keeps me pretty busy juggling coursework, teaching, and research, with trying to keep fit, have a social life and still get some sleep. But I'm having a lot of fun and have made some great friends here. The photo below shows some of them after a good win by our international (Iran, England, New Zealand, Finland, France, Spain, Serbia, USA, Switzerland, Norway, and China) soccer team, the Sissyboytoyz. Maybe this semester we will win the title because sadly our beach volleyball team (the Ponyloverz) doesn't have a chance!
