And she was thinking of being an English major, too! (I kid, I kid… sorta. Because she was.)

I didn’t have a car first semester and it was fine, there were really only a few times when I actually would have wanted one, much less needed one. In 6 hours, however, I’m driving from Los Angeles to Durham, so I can have a car at Duke. Part of the issue is I want to volunteer at a place around 30-50 minutes away from Duke, and it wouldn’t ever work out to have someone drop me off at the beginning of a shift, drive back, then drive back again to pick me up, then return to Duke (for a total of 2-3 hours of driving…). Unless you have a situation like that, its not a big deal.

Also, hopefully, I’m going to finish writing a little program within a month or two (among many) that I’ll promote through the student government that will let you connect up craigslist style for carpooling, so if someone’s already going on a Costco run that day, you can just jump in instead of arranging a separate trip with a friend with a car. Should make it even easier to get around if it takes off.
