Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

So as of right now I have about 16 hours until I leave for college. I will be attending the Art Institute of Philadelphia for their video production program. I should probably try to make the most of my last hours here in DC, rather than making a thread on how Im leaving. No offense to MacNN. I finally got all of my crap packed and in the car ready for tomorrow, I wish I had a longer summer, but I'd rather be the first of my friends to leave then the last.

So next time I post I will hopefully be in the city of brotherly love.

Good luck with Philly... I'm not sure where the school is, but there are some "interesting" parts to that city.

SassyPants · Jul 6, 2005, 03:30 PM

budster101 · Jul 6, 2005, 03:34 PM

Hey! Good luck to you. Safe trip and we'll see you when you get to Philly.

jersey · Jul 6, 2005, 03:35 PM

congrats.......

good luck at school.

we (the gf and i) love philly. going back this weekend.

this is some of the best food in the city. a bit pricey, so get the 'rents to take you...since after all, you're a poor college student, not to mention a poor college art student.

Going to SVA (School of Visual Arts-- this seems to be quite an artsy thread) in New York City for Filmmaking.

HINT: Don't tell people you're from Jersey.

Just kidding, welcome to the city, have a great time

hah, thanks. i already spend a lot of time in the city. i work at Tekserve on 23rd and 6th (which, luckily, is down the street from SVA, on 23rd and 3rd, so i can keep working there) so i'm pretty familiar with it. i've lived near NYC my whole life (first Staten Island, then Jersey, and soon Manhattan)... i love it here.

Cool, I work on W 18th St near Tekserve -- that's a great store!

However, I am a transplant, originally from Boston. I don't tell people that either

Love this town.

Just remember: Don't be a fool. Wrap your tool.

moonmonkey · Jul 8, 2005, 07:17 AM

beware of girls with long hair.

TheMosco · Jul 8, 2005, 07:30 AM

Why does it start so early?

But good luck, I hope you enjoy freshman year as much as I did.

hickey · Jul 8, 2005, 10:46 AM

because they do it on quarters instead of semesters, and its pretty much year round. Ansd i decided i wanted to be one of the first people to leave for college instead of the last. That way they miss me instead of me missing them.

brapper · Jul 8, 2005, 12:04 PM

wooooooo!

Then get out of college, and find out how much life really sucks!

Yeah, I have quarters too. Although mine are only 7 weeks long, so thats probably the difference.

noktulo · Jul 18, 2005, 04:48 PM

I'm going to the University of Cincinnati for architecture in two months. My Powerbook's coming on Wednesday. Squee!

misc · Jul 18, 2005, 05:10 PM

Good call. I leave on September 9th for my trimester college. A deciding factor for the school was not their schedule.

historylme · Jul 18, 2005, 06:46 PM

Ah, freshman year... oh god the times.

A great first year!
