It was my second time coming, and I was used to the simplicity of Davidson's dorms. When I first came to Kilgo, my first thought was "WTF is Kilgo?!" and my second thought was "...I'm never going to find my way around..."

Needless to say, I got around both of those questions.

Yeah, It's pretty roundabout and confusing, but you get used to it. Very Happy The architecture is a bonus, though.

>_> Is it just me, or do the public showers seem like a disgusting ordeal that you are forced to go through every day? Bleh, I hate those little stalls. *cringe*

Yeah, I especially hated those little flying...bug...thingies...cause I didn't know if they were harmful or not...so every time before a shower, I would play it safe and kill all of the ones in my shower. Which would always be around like...10... >_>

Geez, now I know that I'm not the only one who thinks the same. I like how at Davidson, one "hall" meant the floor that you were on. Here, it's just the people in your RC group.

While on the subject of comparing Davidson with Duke, it was a lot easier to go around. I always get so lost at Duke. Even on the last day, I kept getting lost. Plus all of the pointless stairs...

Yea I hated the showers there. It took so long to shower cuz there was no water pressure. And me, roland, and alan had a blast punching the bee's or yellow jackets or whatever they were.

Some of our showers were stuck on hot or stuck on cold. Water pressure was fine for us though.

And Brian, you seriously need a picture on here man.

Those effing bees! One stung me on the ear. It hurt like fuuudge. Honestly, I think it hurt more than getting my cartilage pierced.

I thought they turned off the hot water on the leaving day of tip cuz i took a shower pretty early after pulling an all nighter and it wouldn't get warm.

Meh. Not surprised. They already cut the costs on some of the most important things (E.G. FOOD Evil or Very Mad ) >___>
