SAINTS WIN SUPER BOWL!!!

The Saints won the 44th Superbowl last night! 31-17!!! Saints versus the Colts!

Some of my friends rented a Penthouse off of Burbon and my big sister in Delta Gamma, Monica, got her and I a separate hotel room to stay at nearby. People started getting rooms because all the cab companies were so hard to come by because major streets were closed down including St. Charles and Canal (two of the biggest in the city) and the police where stationed on every block. So we didn't want to worry about getting back to campus so late at night.


It was amazing, the city actually went crazy. There were people shoulder to shoulder all along Burbon, the French Quarter and everywhere in between. There were students from Tulane, Xavier, LSU and Loyola, and many Saints fans from all over the South as well as tourists from all over the country. Classes in local elementary schools, high school & Universities, where canceled this Monday and some on Tuesday. Even my work e-mailed all of us to not come in today (Monday) or tomorrow. Strangers were hugging all night, cross dressers ran around, men played trumpets and other instruments while walking around with boxes for money. It was an actual CITY celebration.
So since the major streets were on lock down, that meant that everyone was walking all over the place which resulted in a lot of fights and violence. This morning there was reported shootings resulting in 3 deaths. So yes, I mean the city went crazy.

But, the good news is we won, my friends and I are fine and I made it back to campus safe and sound this afternoon.
P.S. Sorry Dad!
