OK here we are at Mesa College, going to talk to a random student about his student life. Tell me, what classes are you taking right now?  I'm taking Java, that's programming, and I'm taking sociology. So you’re taking two classes. Is this your first year here? How does it fit into your plans? I'm actually a transfer student from Louisiana so this is my first semester out here. Pretty well so far, pretty good campus, good teachers, I like it. All right, and what's the long-term plan after, what, are you gonna,  I mean after you finish your courses here, then what? After I finish here and I finish at my other school I plan on going to either NASA or any other coding tech, any of the coding fi rms that, you know, offer aerospace engineering. OK, so we're talking to a high-end engineering kind of a guy here, we’re not playing around! Uh, tell me this though, you said you transferred from Louisiana? Where were you in Louisiana? Grambling State University in Louisiana. And how long you been here? I've been here, this is my second semester. And, so, what do you think about San Diego? Pretty good good weather, good people, wonderful air, it's pretty pretty fun out here. All right, and qhat's the what's the biggest thing you miss about, about Louisiana, about not being back at home, so was that home for you back there? I mean, other than missing your family, what are you missing about back home? Probably the food. Food’s better, more home-cooked meals out there. It really fills you up. What kind of, what kind of a specialties they got there? Jambalaya.. Hold up, hold up now, because people don't know, most of my people they don't know... tell us what jambalaya is! So, jambalaya is kind of like rice mixed with seafood and sausages and pretty much a bunch of different meat you would like all in one dish. Ahh, it's good, you’re telling me is good, I believe that, alright.! So, have you tried any of the so-called local food here in San Diego? What would you identify as being San Diego food? Probably the tacos. Very very local, a custom everywhere, you can find a taco shop almost every corner, different styles... Yeah, we do have a lotta Mexican food here that's for sure! All right, well, thanks for your time and we hope you enjoyed the interview, take care!
