KnightWing Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just got back from Noah's Ark (awesome waterpark in WI Dells for those who've never been in this part of the country), and am now tired and slightly wet. And the awesome thing was that it was mid-70s and a bit cloudy later in the afternoon, and because of this, there were almost no lines, which means that we got to go on several rides more than once with almost no wait time. Oh yeah! I've been there. Nice place. There's a fantasy-themed store just north of there with an animatronic dragon. It's pretty awesome.

Molly Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm back in civilization, also known as Ripon, for my fifth undergrad year. (Oops.) However, I do have a shiny new wireless router and a rather fetching blue rug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm back in civilization, also known as Ripon, for my fifth undergrad year. (Oops.) Yeah, all together, I'm at about year six. Mind you I went half time for years four and five because that's what I could afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I only learned how to drive with manual transmission two days ago, and managed to successfully drive 20 miles of freeway and downtown traffic today without dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Well, next week, I would be on year, wait let me work this out: Two years trying to be an actor. One year trying to do media. One year trying to be a journalist. Now back to media. So I'm on year five, what do I have to show for it, a penny, knowledge that I prefer writing and directing to acting, if you don't write it yourself, no one else will and don't buy ice cream from the boot of a car.

Ava Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 After waiting in line for more than an hour, I got my school schedule fixed! Now I have all the classes I want (well, almost), and I don't have to be in two classes at the same time, as my previous schedule wanted me to. Obviously the administration didn't realize that I wasn't Hermione Granger, and therefore did not have a Time-Turner to enable me to take two classes at once. Yay for watching movies first period 2nd semester! Yes, that's actually my class. =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 God, I can't wait for Thursday. Going up to Appleton, which means: -Getting all the comics I've had set aside for me over the summer (<3 Powerhouse) -Hopefully, the prof in charge of the anth department being in so that I can talk to him about a job with the department during the year -Maybe being able to get into my room, see what it looks like, and maybe rearrange furninture within -Seeing people I haven't seen for the whole summer -Seeing my dad for dinner, as I've not been able to see him for most of the last few weeks (major trial) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I go to college up there (Lawrence). So, I'm there nine months out of the year. Nice. I have family up there. They actually have a house right on the edge of the bay, and two jetskis that they let me use anytime I want. (they also have a snowmobile that they drive over the ice when the bay freezes over, but I don't really trust that thing. o_o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Only four days of work left before my two weeks off (longest vacation in 6 years) and then the start of student life. I am so looking forward to this! Got my Compulsory Basic Training for my moped today that will make it a permanent addition to my standard licence. Then I'll have trans for when the company takes my van. Its just so cool, last time I was ramping up for uni I was filled with a deep abiding dread that translated into an alcoholic haze of educational paralysis and eventual rejection. This time I'm older, supposedly wiser and most importantly eager to get into it! Only downside is that I'll be 29 by the time I'm done, with only one cycle left until carrousel. On the upside I'll be on the family photo wall of qualifications in my mum's house, where my mother, brother, stepfather and three stepsisters all comfortably reside.

dc20willsave Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I just got so excited. Greg Berger, who was the voice of Grimlock in the Generation 1 Transformers cartoon, is going to be at Mid-Ohio Con this year. Yeah! In other news, trying to decide what cons to go to next year and debating between Wizard World Chicago or the new Con they're trying to get going in Chicago.

This time I'm older, supposedly wiser and most importantly eager to get into it! Only downside is that I'll be 29 by the time I'm done Swap 29 for 26, and I'm in pretty much the exact same position. Minus the moped/van part. The only problem now is that the funding/accomodation/registration is all sorted in theory, but I have to dot the i's and cross the t's this week before I do go on holiday. It will be coming and I shall be sorted as the financing's been confirmed, but everything's done fo you as an undergrauate whereas postgrads have to jump a number of hurdles in a relatively short timespan. Not fun. That said, 4 days of work and then the final part of my UK travels before I move up to the land of Geordies!! Get in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I got my first allergy shot today. So, in five years, I should be allergy free for the following 15 years. Is this the best science has got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
