That time in the semester is rolling around, and I thought to stick my neck out and give everyone the chance to growl and grumble, cheer and rejoice about the torture they're enduring. :razz:

Me...? I'm studying for a masters degree in New Media, so 'midterm tests' don't exist here. Nope! :grin:

The prof's just assign projects for us to do every other week. Right now, I'm in a group that's making a 30'second commercial for the 2002 World Cup. The four of us came up with this really funny plot. If I can I see if I can show it to you guys later.

But right now... I have this fun research paper on digital special effects. I'm anaylzing Jurassic Park right now. Weee! (I ain't being sarcastic either!)

azure turtle 02-27-2002 05:54 PM

Hey, that sounds cool, HT! As for me, I got a calculus mid-term tomorrow, a chemistry mid-term on Monday, and all kinds of other things going on (lab reports, homework, projects, reading). UGH! I hate work!! And the quarter system is like a double-edged sword.....At least I know I can visit the Technodrome and relax with some friends!

HorseTechie 02-27-2002 05:59 PM

*shudder* Cal...calcu...calculus?

Ehh... now this Power Point presentation I also have to give on my Digital Efx doesn't sound near as bad!

azure turtle 02-27-2002 06:01 PM

:lol: Yep, I was stressed out a little earlier, but I've just had some coffee! And the Technodrome calms me down a bit, when no one's trying to pounce me....
*looks around, nervously*

HorseTechie 02-27-2002 06:03 PM

heheh... you may be safe from Kali for a lil bit at least!

BTW... what did you say you were studying for? Engineering?

azure turtle 02-27-2002 06:07 PM

Ya, I'm trying to become an electrical engineer, though I don't know if I want to stick with this major. I may change it after I get a chance to think about it during the summer. The only problem is, I wouldn't know what to change my major to.

HorseTechie 02-27-2002 06:17 PM

Hrmm... well, go with what you like! Communications? New Media? No wait.. you don't like computers... hrm...

Skeletoncrew 02-27-2002 06:18 PM

Good luck with your tests Azure! May the farce be with you! Oh, and the force too.

azure turtle 02-27-2002 06:19 PM

LOL!! Thanks, SC!
And oh, don't worry 'bout me, HT! I'll figure something out eventually. But thanks for the suggestions! Later :grin:

HorseTechie 02-27-2002 09:18 PM

*comes back after chopping up a couple octupi for dinner and tweedling with research paper some more*

Mm.. yeah.. whatever. My dad was an engineer type, so I know the income is a definate plus! Good luck with those nyarly tests, dude!

...calculus AND chemistry, together! *shudder*

azure turtle 02-27-2002 09:51 PM

:smile: And thanks! I'm gonna need some luck if I wanna do well.
Ohhh.....octopi sounds tasty right about now.
*drools*

Shredder 02-27-2002 11:21 PM

Lucky you, HorseTechie...getting to study Jurassic Park (one of my favorite movies) while I'm gonna be taking Psychology and English midterms.

Ooooh...Psychology and English! Sounds good to me! Much better than the ones Azure is taking.

azure turtle 02-28-2002 02:15 AM

:eyemouth:

SeaThreePeeO 02-28-2002 10:36 AM

Midterms? Eh? What? *Cultural gaps opens up and swallows Nikki*

School those were the days *Sigh* Now if only I could go back!

&lt;~~~Must be oldest person here!

HorseTechie 02-28-2002 11:52 AM

*looks at Nun*

Nah.. I believe I'll be the oldest, come March 2, at 27 long years. :razz:

I'm actually in for my Masters degree. Bascially, that's like making your boring ol undergrad degree a little more exciting! I found out I couldn't do anything with a BS in equine science, sooo.... new media here I come!

*stops to think* Shredder studying psychology and English... not good, not good at all! How could the Turtles outsmart him then? j/k!

azure turtle 02-28-2002 01:07 PM

Heh heh heh. He'll be more powerful than the turtles would have ever imagined :grin:

Kali 02-28-2002 01:31 PM

March 2nd, HT? That's like, Saturday! Or am I having trouble with the calender again?

azure turtle 02-28-2002 01:48 PM

Oh, we should throw HT a b'day party! There will be much rejoicing throughout the forum!
*does the happy dance*

Kali 02-28-2002 01:51 PM

Oh, definitely.

SeaThreePeeO 02-28-2002 02:15 PM

*Starts to feel a little better*

I am only 22! But that party idea sounds good!

Skeletoncrew 02-28-2002 03:18 PM

Don't worry Nunchucker. I'm older than you too. I just turned 24!

And now that someone mentioned it, Shredder studying psychology is scary.

SeaThreePeeO 02-28-2002 03:24 PM

Well that's what happens when you live with a brain! :grin:

Skeletoncrew 02-28-2002 03:41 PM

Icky. I wouldn't want to live with a big whiney brain!

Thats awesome! other than the TMNT, those are my favorite movies! I got all three here in my dorm room.
Ive always wanted to do stuff like that, but they dont have programs here for that :cry:

*looking at calender* omg! Midterms are a month away! ack!
*grabs bookbag, then pauses*
eh, it can wait...

HorseTechie 02-28-2002 04:18 PM

*sai* I feel like such an old fart around you's young'uns. ;p

Machias Banshee 02-28-2002 04:19 PM

YOure only as young as you feel :smile:

Shredder 02-28-2002 06:40 PM

It gets better...the Psych class I'm taking this semester is the Psychology of Hate and Violence (seriously).

Kali 02-28-2002 07:18 PM

Whoa, that is just weird...

Skeletoncrew 02-28-2002 09:00 PM

Sounds awesome Shredder!

Shredder 02-28-2002 11:00 PM

LOL, that class just sounded interesting and was at a good time...I mean, last semester, I took the Psych of Love, so don't read too much into it. :smile:

azure turtle 02-28-2002 11:24 PM

That sounds a lot more interesting than the stuff I'm taking, Shredder.

*pats HorseTechie on the back*
Lighten up, dudette! You're not old! Hell no! You ain't old 'til you start to believe it.

Machias! Are you on a semester system? I've got mid-terms this week, since the quarter system is insane. I just finished taking my calculus mid-term and my brain's fried. Ugh, I'm gonna hit the hay early tonight. I've got a headache :sad:

*sniffs the air*
And what is that strange scent that's been following me around all day? Everyone's been giving me strange looks....well, stranger than usual.

Kali 02-28-2002 11:29 PM

Heh heh heh...

Ooh, I wish I was in school so I could vent with you guys! I feel so left out.

azure turtle 02-28-2002 11:39 PM

Aww, don't worry, Kali! You can still vent about other things....like that!

*points fearfully at the leaning tower of unfinished fanfics*

Look out! It may fall at any minute!

*ducks*

Kali 02-28-2002 11:44 PM

I'm working as fast as I can! Geez, just let me finish this lemon scene for Dragon Lore and I can move on to Legacy again. I just have so many good ideas! Oddly enough, I got more done when I was in school or working.

azure turtle 02-28-2002 11:55 PM

:grin:
*suddenly perks up*
Oh! I read one of your fics, Kali! I read "Out of Time," and I really liked it! The whole idea of a next generation of turtles is really cool. And the time traveling! Far out! Is there a sequel lying within the dreaded tower??
I hope to read more, but I've got another mid-term in a few days. Ack, curse the luck.

Kali 03-01-2002 12:01 AM

Yep, procrastination is what I do best.
You really liked that story? I think it's one of my best to date. I had planned it as a one shot, but so many people want to see a sequel that I just may have to do one! *eyes the leaning fanfic tower* There are a few scenes somewhere in there. GAH, I don't even know who all the mothers are!

azure turtle 03-01-2002 12:07 AM

Hmm....maybe the mothers can all just be minor characters?? Just a suggestion :smile: And yes, I think a sequel would be awesome! I saw your drawings for your characters too, and I like them! I like Dante's character design the best. He wears his old man...er...turtle's colors, but not the traditional way! And I thought it was amusing how he always kept his computer with him.
I wish I could draw and breathe life into Frost.
*pouts*
I'll just have to wait for the day that my stick figures turn into something better.

Kali 03-01-2002 12:10 AM

Grr... even minor characters need names...

azure turtle 03-01-2002 12:14 AM

Don't worry, dudette! I'm sure you'll come up with something creative, as you always do :smile:
