Renegade: Moving!

[Renegade 13]

I'm moving today into the nearby city of Prince George (Hi Bearclaw ) to go to university. Since I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to get internet access, I may be out of commission for a few days. I should be able to get access later today, but I'm not sure. So those of you in PBW games with me, please have patience if I'm a little later than usual with my turns.

Welcome to PG! Hey, if you need internet access, feel free to give me a call. I've got 3 computers and a wireless network setup in my house. You are more than welcome to borrow.

Thanks Kamog! Oh, and small in this case means roughly 3500 students. So only about 20% the size of yours Alneyan But this makes sense, due to the geographical location of the university. Where I live is sparsely populated, and this is the only university within about 1000 km. It services a large area, but an area with little in the way of population.

Hope you have help.

Good luck and don't forget to feed the movers.

Thanks a lot for the offer Bearclaw, but fortunately the university has supplied me with internet in the residence (where I'm staying...for a while at least) The rooms are tiny. But the internet access is good. So I'm happy

Narf, yep I had help, in the form of my parents and sister It only took several hours (and a lot of waiting in lines at the university ), but we got it done. And yes, I fed them - and myself - too. They appreciated it.

Oh yeah, I'm obviously up and running now. So hopefully won't be too late on PBW games.

On another note, I hope all days aren't like this day, or I think I will explode from stress and frustration

Don't worry, the other days won't be like that; they will only get worse from here. *Whistles, looks around, and dashes off*

Why do you think most Uni Students spend most of their time Drinking? At least over here, student loan = beer fund

*Whistles and takes off in the opposite direction to Alneyan*

Ok, some survival tips for college.....
1. NEVER set your beer down
2. If you forget rule one, GET A NEW BEER
3. If you forget rule one and two, LOOK BEFORE YOU DRINK
4. NO means yes, except when it means NO.
5. The really nice guys who seem very very friendly to you, are not the kind of guys who prefer women.
6. Some women you should stay away from. You'll know them after they start sending you body parts of your current girl friend.
7. When going bar hopping, look for the ugly girl in the crowed, when she starts looking good.... STOP DRINKING
8. If you for happen to ignor the wisdom of # 7, and wake up in the morning and realize what who you spent the night with, don't scream.... just GET THE HELL OUT of their... quietly as to not wake the beasty women or dude mentioned in # 5.
9. If # 8 occures...... DENY EVERYTHING!
10. Cars, booze, and behemoth women do not mix well. Avoid cobining them.

Good luck and enjoy.

Well, there's still stress and frustration, only of a different kind

During move-in, things are always pretty bad, because there is just so much happening. For dorms, you can have approximately 500 students moving in to a completely new place, and they'll usually have a "crew" of parents, siblings, relatives, and friends, so there can easily be thousands of people that have no idea what they're doing. And usually only a few people available to help with all the issues that will inevitably come up. Basically, it's a large train wreck.

After that, you're all settled in, and the new environment isn't the source of the stress and frustration. That moves to your assignments, and University red tape. And sometimes, from the people around you being complete ***********, but that isn't guaranteed like the former are.

But, make good friends, get to know professors, and try to balance your workload, and you'll be fine.

Oooo, when I find you Alneyan and RD, I'm gonna beat you! (j/k of course)

Unfortunately, no money for beer...and I can't afford the hit to my grades

AT, good advice (and humor! ) Thanks, I needed that! Now off to orientation...
