I'd go around asking people if I could taste their daquiris. I'd always sleep real well after those Christmas parties.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I still am not ready nor looking forward to Christmas. I'll be traveling this year.

[CameronBornAndBred]

So if we go bowling I'm pulling for January 6th.

When you renew your driver's license, do you have to take anything other than the eye test? (No accidents or tickets in years)

Probably not, but I haven't renewed a license in years. I've moved too much.

Would someone mind walking some cats?

A long walk off a short pier?

I'm back from the interview and sort of disappointed. The interview went great. The problem was Mr. Stubbs wasn't the one who interviewed me! One of his partners did. (A UNC grad nonetheless -- although Stubbs is a UNC grad as well). I could tell he didn't know exactly what to ask me and it's sort of difficult to just start talking about yourself without being prompted to. Basically I told him my SAT and ACT scores, my Class Rank, why I chose New Bern High School over a private school like Parrot Academy, what I do in my free time (guitar, read - I left out video games), activities (soccer, tennis, wakeboarding, snowboarding), Haiti, why I want to attend Duke, what other schools I applied to, and maybe a few other things. We did have a nice conversation on Duke vs. UNC basketball this year. He thinks Duke will be better even though he IS a UNC grad (I'm capitalizing it this time because he was one of the most respectable UNC fans I've met).

Sadly, I didn't get a chance to talk about my adventures at Boys State or LITs (Leader In Training my sophomore summer - aKa "The Best/Most Difficult Experience of My Life").

Although it may seem like a lot, compared to the Wake Forest interview, I feel like we only scratched the surface of what he could have learned about me. Heck, basically everything I told him he could have learned by looking at my application, and more! The only things that he couldn't have learned would have been that I wear a blazer to interviews and that he knows my dad.

He did tell me that he hopes I get into Duke. After making sure I know that it is basically New Jersey in the south. (Which I subtly/nonconfrontationally countered citing a statistic about NC, FL, CA, and NY students making up the majority)

Wow I'm really to sorry to hear that you didn't get to interview with an alum. Half of the point of the interview is to give you an opportunity to pick an alum's brain on the school and for us to sell the school to you.

I'll PM you my info if you have any questions that haven't been answered.

Yes, in NC you are required to also take the road sign test. They have the discretion to ask you to do a road test if they think you need it.

Cool, thanks. I gotta go figure out what some squiggly lines mean.

You've had too much and shouldn't be driving?

This is so bizarre. I think you could discreetly make a call to the Admissions office and inquire about getting an interview with a REAL alumni admissions interviewer. I think you're entitled to a "do-over" with a Duke grad.

As for his ignorant comments about NJ in the south, I'm so proud of you for setting him straight.

My parents used to throw a disco Christmas party with a dj and everything. My sister and I would take all of the guest's coats, throw them on my parents' bed...and then jump all over them like a big pile of leaves.

Ya gotta know the road signs. Show up about 15 minutes early (we can make an appointment for our renewals) and look over the card they give you with all the road signs on it. They'll ask you to ID 10 or 20 of them.

It means you have been brewing/drinking too much.

In Kansas, you have to take the written test. However, they send you the test and you take the completed test in - so it is an open book test. Last time, I skipped a question and was going to look it up. I forgot to go back and put in an answer. When I turned it in - she didn't ask me to answer it - she just counted it wrong. I thought that stunk.
