    I feel like it would be poor form, since a bunch of other people in those majors are those who actually watch plays and/or movies or something, and I'm just like "hey guys what's up?" And I'm more interested in plain writing anyway.

    ah, gotcha, chummer.

    so, i think my laptop is finally dead. Still have the...erm...warranty? Guaranty? However you English speaking people say it.

    Warranty.

    ^^^English is very different as a subject from Creative Writing, though, although things may be different in the US. English is less "develop your writing skills" and more "You have two weeks to read the entire works of George Eliot and write something sensible about it. GO TO IT, BITCHES!"

    @captainbrass: That sounds pretty much the same as the U.S.. And I was probably going to minor in Creative Writing, since I think it's more often a minor anyway. Having both classes together is really the ideal. Assuming Creative Writing classes at the college level are actually helpful. Though I'd assume so; my brother got through four years of it already and is in grad school to get his Masters in Creative Writing.
  • captainbrasscaptainbrass
    Yeah, when I have heard of Creative Writing as a stand-alone university subject, it's generally been as a Masters' degree. The most prestigious over here is at the University of East Anglia. Several fairly-well known novelists did that course.

    1.)  -joins the "considered going to Northeastern" club-  (though, I ended up not going there, largely because it would be considerably more expensive than the school I ended up deciding on)

    2.)  Forzare and Everest are both younger than I thought they were, which is weird since I already knew how old they were.

    I love theater. I haven't had too much experience in it, but I love acting and it's something that I've been told that I have a knack for.

    Having visited Emerson, my biggest hope is to get into their BFA program. But that's really really selective (as in, like fifty people actually get in, and sixteen last more than two years) so if I don't get accepted into that, Northeastern is probably my next choice.

    Re: Gym: I hope to drop fifteen pounds before I go to college (preferably before Emerson auditions, but given my motivation in the past...), so I'd just like to keep the weight off. Because I'm bad at eating well in the best of times.

    Re: SAT being acceptable: thank god

    And DYRE, you must have heard my age a dozen times by now. I thought numbers were your thing. :V

    Serious answer: isn't DYRE a math major, or am I misremembering?

    Non-serious answer: direneko 4eva
  • DYREDYRE
    I am currently majoring in math, yes.

    By the way, Forz, have you looked into sites like StudentsReview.com? I'm finding it pretty helpful compared to simply touring the college. For one, I'm probably going to place Northeastern as one of my lower choices. >.>

    I have not. I'll check it out.

    Not every review is good, of course, but it's worth noting if a college gets a bunch of craptastic reviews that are essentially saying the same thing.
  • AHRAHR
    Maybe if I'm lucky, one day a troper will go to MY college.

    Well, there is someone who goes on tv tropes there, but she's not a forum regular.

    And she's kind of annoying.

    I'm kinda happy none of the people in my university know of TvT

    or English.

    That's probably a good idea. I'll definitely take a look.

    Did Northeastern get a bunch of bad reviews? I've heard good things from people IRL.

    ^ Honestly, I'd rather not be around any real tropers. Or former tropers. Unless they're, like, Evermod. Cuz he's a bro.

    "Maybe if I'm lucky, one day a troper will go to MY college."

    I hope I don't go to a place with too many tropers. Unless those tropers are also IJBMers. Then it's peachy.

    "Did Northeastern get a bunch of bad reviews?"

    The negative comments were mostly to the effect of "the students are asocial, stuck-up assholes".

    ^That sounds like Northwestern University over here in Chicago than anything.

    Old?

    Isn't it a relatively recent series?  Nothing like the zigzag marks for face tones.

    Apparently it was from 2002. Could've fooled me.

    I'm not good at old anime.

    I think the only anime I've watched that are older than like 2002 are Evangelion, Akira, and Grave of the Fireflies.
  • All NinesAll Nines

    The only old stuff I've watched is stuff that was on when I was a lot younger, and Grave of the Fireflies.

    @Everest: It was one of the first things BONES did, a year and a half before Fullmetal Alchemist really put them on the map. So they didn't really have a lot of money, especially not for an original project.

    Nonetheless you're terrible for not watching it etc etc.

    Oh yeah. I guess you can add Pokemon and Digimon to that. Can't think of amy other anime I really watched as a kid.

    I dunno, I liked Rahxephon's art style and direction
