    93-94 - Castillian. A buddy of mine beat up my roomate (who was a turd) and got the place to myself most of the spring
    94-95 - Some apts across from the law school. I think we were the only non-Indians in the place, the place smelled like an Indian restaurant every night.
    95-96 - Some new complex off of Woodward
    96-97 - Some complex north near 183.

    All were fun. Lots of drinking and weirdness.

    91-92 Dorm at St. Edwards - Had a blast, but did stuff like went to Mexico on the night before a College Algebra exam. Made a 2.2 GPA. Towards the end I became good friends with these guys that lived in Dobie. They were Texas students and totally taught me how to study.

    Transferred to ACC
    92-93 Apartment hell off of Riverside/ Oltorf Lived with 2 of these Texas students. Took easy classes at ACC and brought up my GPA

    Transferred to Texas
    93-94 A house with 5 roommates across from Pearl St. Coop / Rio House Apt - This house was freaking amazing. Everyone was either in a band, on mushrooms, or swinging on a swing we had in our living room. At the Rio House, I moved there simply because they had the best parties I ever attended.
    94-95 House next to 30th/ Speedway - Lived here with my Boyfriend, and we fought all the time.
    95-96 House behind Waterloo Records - Would go to school when the sun came up and get home when the sun was down, but had a great time here.


    I had a blast. A couple of things though... The admissions folks would laugh at me if i tried to get in now. Also too, it can't possibly be as much fun to be in college now as when I was there. Emo's was just starting, the Blue Flamingo had some of the best punk bands play. I was able to see Crash Worship play in a field in the middle of no where as well as at the Cavity Club. Also too, it was still cheap to live there, but I did notice it getting more and more expensive as I stayed.

    I know y'all will think I'm being a snobby, but the parties were amazing back then. I graduated with a GPA just above a 3.0 and haven't a clue how I did it.
