Just pushed the big, scary, red button.

good luck dude.

and you would like Ft. Collins better than Boulder. i suppose you could commute...

The zombie thread rises...

Congrats to Jonas and his crystal ball. 

CU took until February to decide that they didn't want me. I took a (drunken) weekend to regroup and applied to CSU.

Got acceptance notification this afternoon. Fort Collins it is.

...one step closer to DITR. 

[JBubble]

Congrats on CSU!!

CONGRADS James!

Fort fun is WAY cooler than hippie town. tuition should be a bit less to i believe

/insert lexus/toyota comparison here...

i might even still know some folks there (no promises) so if you need anything...

[herm]

and actually, it's probably as step further away from DITR...relatively speaking

[Buckethead]

Yeah, but it's a hell of a lot closer than South Carolina, where I am now. 

Bout the only thing I can think of that I could really use at this point is some advice on neighborhoods. Any place(s) to stay away from at all costs? Any place to try for? I'm hoping for something residential and on a bus route, but that's about as far as I've gotten at this point.

Rock on dude!

Kick ass, take names

Run up to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

If you play Golf there's a decent Golf Course in Fort Collins.

If you're into Mountain climbing Long's Peak isn't very far away and can be summit it without too much trouble , it a 14 teen.

In Fort Collins you are right up against the foothills of the Rockies.

If you drive East about 45 minutes to Greeley you can see all the Peaks of the Rockies.

Congrats!

I think you'll like Ft. Fun!

There's a bunch to do in/around the area.

When are you headed out?

Fixed for you, DE:

If you drive East about 45 minutes to Greeley you can see all the Peaks of the Rockies will wonder what the hell the smell is.

[r_ciao]

rock on dude.

good for you and to others that do the same.

reminds me of a bumper sticker i saw long ago that read something like "the truly educated never stop learning."


Ciao!

Pre-welcome to our neck of the woods.
And  to CSU.

[Buckethead]

Thanks everybody!

It feels nice to actually know what I'm going to be doing next year, rather than just "getting out of the Navy in June and then..."

Phew!  I thought you meant the 'History-Eraser-Button'...

Still looking for that one.

Still looking for that one.

i hear it comes in a gallon size bottle of (insert preference here). if you've never seen one before, i'm betting you will when you have your discharge party...
