Nigel's Shiny New Life Thread

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Today I got an email from the Financial Aid office that my application is complete and approved and I will get an award letter next week.

I have been half-convinced that something was going to go horribly wrong and I wouldn't get to go to school after all, since every time I've tried before something major went down that snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.

But this time, I AM IN! I AM A REAL LIVE COLLEGE STUDENT OMG OMG OMG!!!!

Classes start in six days and I even have all my books.

I am so thrilled I could cry!

Now to start applying for scholarships.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

That's great, Nigel!

It's about time you caught a break.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Thanks! 

[Richter]

NOICE.

[Juana]

YAY NIGEL! Good to hear!

[EK WAFFLR]

GREAT!

[Cardinal Pizza Deliverance.]

Awesomesauce. What classes are you taking first?

[Kai]

Awesome. Aren't you going for physics or chemistry or something like that?

OH some one moved the color line?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I am currently in prerequisiteland, which means that I have 2 more math classes which won't count toward my degree but also that I have a wide range of classes which will. I have 2 years in which almost anything I take will.

Nop, PCC. I won't be at PSU for at least 2 years.

Kai, organic chemistry, although I will also take biology classes, and over the next two years I will have to decide whether my undergrad will be chem or bio, and either one gives me a solid track to my desired outcome so it's all about which engages me more. Right now I am leaning toward chemistry, which I already have a background in due to my glasswork. But that could change, and it will depend a lot on not only which one I am more engaged with, but also which I am more likely to get an assistanceship with at PSU, and which one leads me most clearly to bio-anthro. That could change in the next few years.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Technically I am going for a biophysics degree, but it's kind of a question of which department I am going to get it in, and which department will best behoove me. I am seriously thinking that I would do better to get it in anthropology rather than physics.

yeah :PCC then ? there R many of those Mt Hood for 1 Sylvania's another
Rock Creek, the list is to long : At Cascade they built a new gym where

The yellow is usually cadmium and sulphur.

I'll totally check out the gym... when did they raze your house? I remember when there were a bunch of pretty old houses there.
