Title: 'Lo!
RiftDoggy - July 23, 2008 02:19 AM (GMT)
Hiya there! My name's Chris and I'm around a month away from being a freshman at ODU. I'm an all-around nerd, with long-running addictions to anime (duh), manga, video games, and books. I find it easy to lose myself in a book by Joseph Campbell, an episode of Azumanga Daioh, or an obscure RPG for the SNES, but I've never managed to stay focused in school for more than five minutes :doh: . I'm interested in about a bajillion things, and I'm not really sure what I'm majoring in yet. Still, I'm really excited about coming to ODU!
Sooo...hi there! ;D. Hope I'll meet you all sometime in the next month or two.

Welcome to the forums, and in a month or so, welcome to the club!
Now, you have to have spent more than five minutes on SOMETHING school related. While it's not the best school around, I'm pretty sure you have to graduate high school to get into ODU :P.

Heya! :D Welcome to the club. I think the low-school-attention-span is a common symptom among anime club people, so you should feel right at home. XD Just don't neglect your studies too much!

My lack of school attention is the fact that I don't have to give it in order to pass. Well, except for one class. *sigh* Well, I'll be studying this year in an attempt to get all B's or higher.
Welcome to the Organization. Enjoy your stay.

Just an FYI, that lack of attention can come back to haunt you later in life. I rarely needed to take notes in class. I could just pay attention and pass the tests, etc. Which means that I have no notetaking/study skills. This has caused me problems in the business world. My bosses have learned not to send me to meetings to report back to them with notes of the meeting. :)

Hey. See you at the meetings or preview, if you come.

Hey welcome to the club. Don't let one thing take over your life. I had that experience when I played World of Warcrap and I suffered because of that.

So much word, dude. My GPA is craaaap. =/ Well. Not precisely CRAP, but also not where I want it to be.

It really isn't that hard for me Shiya, especially since I am taking a few intro courses this semester for my minor of Photography. I should do well in that field. I hope. :\

OH GOD YES
Yeah, don't get caught up in the fun of the club/Lion's Den and neglect your studies. Because if you get too behind, it's really hard to catch up.

Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one with...problems. :sweatdrop:
Agh! Since I got rejected for campus housing, I looked around and found a place that's being refurbished/rebuilt/cleared of spiderwebs and pidgeons only a block or two away from the village. Prob is, I'll be moving in in about a week, since my parents seemed eager to throw down the first few months' rent and get me over there/here.
Soo...what do I do with myself for the next month? :(...

hang out with us? (in any summer events we have?)
SinRaeyan - July 26, 2008 04:00 AM (GMT)
Welcome welcome. There are more people on/around campus than you would think. So finding stuff to do during the summer is not that hard. As for studying be wary of the Lion's Den. XD
