Good luck. Wow your college life sounds a lot more interesting than mine did. When I went to college at eighteen years old the only quick jaunt I could afford was to the convience store in my VW. Anyway, I guess I should add that it also snowed two feet everyday, including the summer. I had to live in a shoe box in the middle of road with four room mates. They had congenital body odor too. (Have I made it sound terrible enough yet?)
Seriously good luck,
Dave
