A hat...that everyone wished was a t-shirt. Water bottles and free food galore on the housing tour, though...

Which one of you knows about Brazilian law?

I didn't meet anyone from TLS. Wilco concert blew my mind. So much awesome stuff in Durham/Chapel Hill. Went to two concerts, ate at Coopers and Allen and Sons, had fried green tomatoes, six bars, met a lot of great people at Duke Undergrad and UNC.

The only thing I found annoying was people were TOO friendly at times. The second day at lunch I was hungover and sleep deprived and wanted to eat alone and barely made it thirty seconds without 5 people joining me at my table and having me introduce myself. I guess its not necessarily a bad thing, and I know everyone was nervous and wanted to meet each other, but some of you Dukies need to better understand social cues.

Overall it was an awesome experience. Loved the campus/faculty as well.

So any TLS-ers can remember me if I did meet you, I asked the question in the student panel about how the recession may have impacted the atmosphere of collegiality.

Now you make me feel bad for sitting down to each lunch with someone who was alone, and for waiting to leave while one guy finished his lunch so he wasn't eating alone. In fact I better put out this general apology: sorry to everyone whom's time I wasted this weekend by talking to them.

I think we should facebook each other so I can know if anyone I met was a closet TLS'er.

I don't believe you if you say after driving/flying down and being sleep deprived and rushing in and out of classrooms you weren't exhausted. I was staying with a couple of friends who had come down from Greensboro, and I didn't want to be boring and tell them I needed to go to sleep early because I had woken up at 3:30 A.M. to catch a flight. So despite having had a really good time, most of the trip I was deliriously tired and cranky

I wasn't trying to be dramatic, more on the side of sarcastic, idiotic, and facetious. So pretty much an accurate portrayal of my avatar lol. How did your roommate speed-dating go? Get any numbers? Find a good place to stay?

True to the Duke way! Good luck, you're from Texas right? I met 2 people from Dallas. One was really tall and blonde and the other I ran into while touring the campus. Either of them you?

I also met a Sooner who I swear is on TLS, but maybe that is because I have seen a Sooner on here and I can only imagine there being a handful of OU fans who would admit to it outside of their state.

You obviously have not met enough people from Oklahoma. Perhaps the most proud, unabashingly biased people in the country. Visited William & Mary last week, saw three people wearing OU shirts in one class-I doubt there were many more Okies than that at all of W&M.

Haha well I guess I will have to do the same and rep Texas once at Duke.

I handed in mine over the weekend. Someone should make a list of who's in for sure like in last year's thread.

At least it confirmed the negatives I heard about the place I rented at.

Wow. That's an incredibly useful link. I'm sure it was included in the mass of paper they've distributed, but it was the first time I've seen it. I just printed about 15 different places to consider for next fall.
