Weekend in Lubbock


Don't expect me to use titles every time. I am quite lazy really and using titles is just me sampling the flavor of the week.
That said, I spent last weekend in Lubbock, Texas scoping out the campus of Texas Tech University. It was the worst planned trip I have ever taken. We went at least an hour out of the way, got lost in town once we arrived, didn't pick a hotel till 1 AM, and drove around aimlessly 70% of the time we were there. It was also fun in a hare-brained kind of way. Texas Tech has a very nice campus, surrounded by a town that leaves much to be desired. The water is alkaline leaving a nasty aftertaste and the landscape is bleak and uninspiring. The situation has been engineered to keep the students on campus. From what I hear, there is plenty to do on campus and you don't miss city life. ('Tech's a party school!) My friends main concern with the campus life was the quanity and quality of the women on campus. He was not displeased, although a Sunday on a miserable day in December before finals week is probably not the best time to make such decisions. Texas Tech has a good law school and a decent academic reputation overall. (it balances out the party school reputation.)
I am tired. I am also done.
