in which i get accepted to college

Post by Sferics »

It has been months since I last posted on here. Some of the older board members (back to ~2005) may remember me as Chrono.

I just wanted to let you all know that I was recently accepted to Princeton. I will be studying physics there.

That is all.

Good stuff. My master's supervisor got his PHD in physics there, should be a good school.

Wait, weren't you CronoKid (or ChronoKid, forgot spelling)?

In any case, congrats all the same. Good luck.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

Haha AoL, I think you're right. It was CronoKid. I guess you have better memory than I do. Also, I'm vey sorry if I was ever rude to you back in those days. I was roughly 13 when I first found these boards and very immature.

Thanks for the congratulations guys. I feel as if this forum first really spurred my interested in computer science, and consequently math and science in general.

No worries. It's just the nature of the ZSNES/Boat forums I presume.

Also, that being said, so much for I'm this big moron when I was able to remember Sferics's old nick eh? :P (that line isn't targeted towards you in particular btw; it was more or less for everyone.)

No problem. and a certain other board that I visit sparked an interest in working on cars for me; right now I'm back in school for auto and diesel mechanics.

Have you been on campus odditude? I live hundreds of miles away and would be very interested in your perspective.

Thanks Phonymike! I remember you and I talking about electrical engineering briefly one time... something about modding a SNES multitap?

snkcube, I am actually quite fortunate in this regard. Due to my family's income, Princeton is offering me a 50,000 dollar/year grant. My hope is to graduate debt free.

more through the town; i've walked through a small part of campus when my girlfriend and i took a community program that was hosted there. like many college towns, though, there's plenty of shopping and places to go in princeton borough. it really is a nice place - only thing that sucks is the traffic in the area if you happen to be driving anywhere near rush hour.
