  2. Smocon Toronto '11 - August 5th to 7th - WON BY wait nvm

    Hey all. Dunno if I'll start posting super consistently (as I promised with more than a few drinks in me on Saturday), but I'll do my best because god damn... great meetup. Just a fun time overall. Having not posted in around 2 years, not recognizing half of the people's usernames, only...
  3. Final Grades/GPA thread/School/University Discussion

    How are you finding the difficulty level of your program/ have you heard anything from friends in engineering science?
  4. Final Grades/GPA thread/School/University Discussion

    Yeah, I'm going into Engineering Science at UofT next year, and the absolute cutoff for entrance is like 88, while they claim 92 is the average mark of applicants. It's apparently one of the highest cutoffs amung undergrad programs in Canada, along with some of the more prestigious Commerce...
  5. Final Grades/GPA thread/School/University Discussion

  7. How Did You Get Interested in Anime?

    Well yeah Suzuka and Honoka were the meaningful-ish relationships, even though he figures out he doesn't even have a legitimate relationship with/ interest in the latter. But you can't really ignore Hashiba (the other random sprinter girl) having way too much interest in him, or Yui (restaurant...
  8. How Did You Get Interested in Anime?

    ferron, it seems like youtube hasn't uploaded the full series yet so I'm hinging on the last three eps I believe. *Spoiler* The ending was unpredictable however, Reishin's facade wasn't really justified in my opinion. Same with Akane near the end. As a concept also, it seems that a lot of the...
  9. How Did You Get Interested in Anime?

    Not necessarily Firestorm. It's just that I've already tried watching Brotherhood, and didn't get very far into it due to a lack of interest. I guess I could try out One Piece, but I never really understood what it was about, and every ad I've seen for the show involves some weird never quite...
  10. How Did You Get Interested in Anime?

    I was a fan of Dragonball and Dragonball Z up untill Buu (Cell Saga wasn't that bad, come on) and Gundam Wing earlier on. Gundam Wing especially got me interested in the more apocolyptic/ mecha themed shows, which subsequentially lead to be devouring Neon Genesis Evangelion and Code Geass in a...
  11. Final Grades/GPA thread/School/University Discussion

    this Yeah the six mandatory courses I need to submit for engineering at U of T are probably something like this (finals are out next week, I finished my last exam today). Calculus and Vectors - 94 (95 before the Final) Physics - 88 I hope (88 before the exam, but honestly I can't even say...
  12. All-Time Favourite Albums

    Along with the already listed Aeroplane, Illinois, and Keep it Like a Secret, I would have to add: Apologies to the Queen Mary - Wolf Parade Spencer Krug + Dan Boeckner + Raw emotion The Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Many argue Funeral is better. I hold the opposite stance. I've...

    Awesome, will definitely come out of hiding for this. Hopefully I get past the substitute stage this time. Shoddy Nick: Ripchord (erm better rating under blaze101, but I've been out for like 3 months) 1st choice: Canada (blueeeeee jays) 2nd choice: Europe (italiaaaaaaaaaa)
  14. What do dreams mean to you?

    Well personally, I've come to run through the events of a dream when I wake up from it. And I can almost always attribute what happens in a dream to an event or multiple events that have occurred in the day. It's usually something that I wouldn't take notice to otherwise, like speaking to a...
  15. Where are you going to school next year?

    I love these threads - they help to vent anxiety Ontarian also right here, I've been accepted to Queen's Engineering, Waterloo honours Co-op Software Engineering, and U of T Engineering Science. Queens gave me a bunch of money on scholarships and bursary, but I probably still can't justify...
