Wow, this thread has had some action in the last few days!! I love how mountain sports dominate the discussion!
Matthies - I have had the wonderful privilege of meeting you but for those who havent, are you planning to post a self tar? How are you expecting so much love at orientation when no ones knows who you are?

And BTW, thanks for all the great advice you have offered us on this thread. I just updated my resume and am feeling quite impressed with myself.
brijc - my books were just over $600 too, but of course I had to jack up the bill by buying a sweatship and some other fun DU stuff.
Monarch - welcome back to the US and to Denver! Thx for the 'tar compliment - I guess I sort of stole your idea here.
and finally...
Demingh - thanks for the note to us DU students. I have lived here for a few years and can't imagine leaving. I also agree that its the greatest place on earth!

Off to enjoy my last few days of freedom!
