The Tulane University baseball team moved into my dorm building today because their school happens to be under water at the moment. I think that it is incredible that Texas Tech, as well as most other colleges are getting to serve the students from the Louisiana schools that can't continue classes.
I have heard, however, that the students from Tulane don't like to be referred to as "refugees"...i thought that was a little humorous because i would have never even thought of them as refugees because that word puts a mental picture in my head that these people don't meet up to. It just hits a little closer to home when I realize that the people affected by this disaster are no different than I am..at all.
