OTOH, I think my grades were better because I had more time for studies -- I made Phi Beta Kappa my junior year, so I guess I have a bit of Greek in me after all. :rolleyes:

And you're right, I think going through frustrations can only make us stronger. No one gets all she wants, after all.

Thanks for the reply -- oh, and GO HEELS! :D

I was just up the road from you gals 1986-88 at NC State.
But just so ya know, I'm a tarheels fan. ;)

I'm a *sensitive*, introverted artist so I'm not good sorority material. ;)

Good choice! :D

My grandfather, father, brother, and step-sister all were NCSU grads, actually, and I got a post-bacc certificate there in computer programming. Born and raised in Raleigh, actually. But had to go to Carolina if just for spite -- and to get a few miles down the road from my fam. :D

Ha, Indigoiis and Emily, I went to NC State for one of my grad degrees. Had I not been so snarky as a high school student, perhaps I would have gone there in the first place and not had to go back for a masters! That would have been the smart thing to do. I just loved that the nicest building on campus was the Poultry Science building. I really liked it there.

And I was raised in Durham...so I had to go to Carolina!

Born and raised in Austin. Why do you think Texas A&M beckoned so loudly even though it broke my dad and Pawpaw's heart to hear I was going to be an Aggie? ;) Best thing I ever did for myself, if I went to Texas my parents couldn't have afforded their dorms and no way was Dad letting his princess live in Austin proper, it is a scary world ya know. My choice would have been to 1. commute from the burbs or 2. live with my grandparents closer to campus.
