WoW `Duane, you sure will keep the carbon out of
your Monte Carlo.
Your miles will really add `up. Is it interstate driving ?
I would ask for a radar detector for graduation : )
How many hours are you taking your first year ?
I would love to be able to live on campus....I think ?
Wish you the best...I know you will keep your Monte
in great shape...Hope they have good parking there : ) ?
Good Luck `Duane on your Life's `Journey.
Peace/Out/`Space

Hi 'Space

I'll have to burn out all the carbon from the past few years. it is 0 miles interstate too. i'll have to take State Route 96 to State Route 56 toUS Highway 1 (4 lane road, few readlights to southeastern), then a mile and a half to the school from US 1.

Radar detectors are about half worthless around here. All the cops have push button radar, and they can write you a ticket here without getting a steady readout on you. Parking is descent there as well, nice wide spots (unlike my high school spots that a pick up truck can barelly fit in with a few inches on each side). I'm looking forward to college and my life journey.

Hi Duane,
You are lucky to be attending a Super College.
I checked out their site : ) It's beautiful there.
When do you graduate HS? Will you start college in the
summer, or fall semester ?
Wish you the best....`Space

I think you're looking at the wrong college there Space....

www.sebts.edu

www.secwf.edu

The first link is the seminary, the second is the college. However, the campus is the old Wake Forest Campus. They bought it back in 1950 I believe.

Hey... I probablyhave thetoughestcommute. I have to battle all the weather to back out ofthe driveway... then pull back in... and fight all the weather to get back inside. I rushand get myself a cup of coffee, and sit at my computer filling out as many job applications I can for MLive, Michigan Talent Bank, Career Builders, Yahoo Jobs, and Monster.com. Then I have to go outside, fight all the weather, get in my car... Back out of the driveway... look around, and pull back in. Then get out and fight all the weather and go back inside.

Makes for a tough day and tough commute...
