go to hell, carolina

i paid off one of my two student loans!  i am amazing!  i am patting myself on the back right now.

and you know, even though i had/have two student loans from attending the lovely duke university, i don't care.  it was the best school ever and totally worth paying for some of it myself.  here is why.  a list.  (of course.)

1. i am still very close to rachel, jen, the other rugby girls, morgan, q, andy, mike, thomas, jenny, and veronica from duke.  oh, and the non-blog-reading-sister-of-mine.  that is a lot of people.  i have great friends from college.  i know i am so lucky.

2. duke basketball = the reason to live from november to march.  for those who don't know, i used to regularly forgo warmth and sleep to stand in line/tent for games.  and i miss that a lot now.  it was worth every minute.  i never felt more school spirit than when i was in cameron, sweating profusely, and losing my voice while cheering on the blue devils with 1,600 of my classmates.

3. indian food wednesdays.

4. duke is gorgeous.

5. duke informed me (nonverbally) that i was good at history and liked it.  and that i was bad at chemistry and hated it.  this turned out to be an excellent thing, as i now have an excellent life at an excellent job that i love.

6. veggie tacos and chips and queso at the dillo.

7. i learned how to play rugby, later became president of duwrfc, lived in the rugby house, learned rugby songs, and made some rockin' friends.

8. hearing the bells played from the chapel at 5pm every day.


fellow dukies, what am i missing?
