<p>These past few days have been pretty slow, but we do welcome a few new people since the last update. I am also happy to see a few of the less active members posting every now and again as the thread grows :)</p>

<p>Due to the slower pace, there aren’t any updates apart from that everyone is still being effected by their nerves!
We have however established that Keya is a girl… and Rishav is a guy -_- haha!</p>

<p>Best Of Luck To Everyone!!</p>

<p>We are always welcoming new internationals - we don’t care about your marks or scores; just bring your personality and have some fun with us! </p>

<p>**GO GREENS!!! ** </p>

<p> <strong><em>Just an Update</em></strong> </p>

<p>Say hi and post the following:
Name:
Country:
Hobbies/ECs:
And if you want… intended major:</p>

<p>@Hoping for better
I don’t seem to have you on my list :frowning: where you from! :slight_smile: so I can put you on and include you :)</p>

<p>@Raith, well another indian in hopingforbetter!! :confused: Haha!! :)</p>

<p>@rishav - 7 because it’s my favorite number :stuck_out_tongue: Beckham fan. :p</p>

<p>Also, how was everybody’s Valentines Day ? :D</p>

<p>@guyinblue
just like every other day, pretty normal :smiley: What about you?
Btw, does your status still say “we are processing…”?
You still have time to send them a valentines card :D</p>

<p>@dbtocollege. You’re welcome dear!! And continue posting :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@nocknock OMG !! We’re definitely from the same country !! I sent you a pm. Idk how it works though cuz I sent you 2 messages.</p>

<p>Your job sounds cool. I don’t think I could manage primary school kids everyday though.</p>

<p>My IA is on tourism in my parish.</p>

<p>@kdengg and @nocknock I want to travel abroad as much as possible during college. I don’t think I’ll be able to do much of it after college.</p>

<p>@rishav lol. Yes, finally!! Everybody else is on the other side of the world. (That’s kinda cool though.)
Sorry again. I just thought your name sounds like a girl name. <em>hides face</em> Maybe it’s bcuz I’m not familiar with Indian names.</p>

<p>And I do hope financial aid pays for study abroad for real too.</p>

<p>@Raith your job sounds so fun and important. How comes you’re working in the middle of the school year though? Is it holiday time for you guys already?</p>

<p>@caribgurl ah koolz!!:smiley: thts awwwsum! haha…I didnt get em /:, think there was an issue with the messages last night tho so thats prolli the reason. </p>

<p>lool yes!at times they can be quite the handful but that’s just kids on a whole and they kool wen they settled. They say the weirdest of stuff too and the questions-they’ll have u laughin for a while…hmmm sounds like a kool topic, think there were debates going on like about a month ago on tourism’s impact on the western parishes. (might be helpful for ur IA)</p>

<p>@kdengg- loool yh! seeing those temps in Hanover, i think i want to skip out on the winter terms tooo! but then i’d miss winter carnival- ah darn thts just a tough one…i want to try the language study abroad program to Argentina plus one of the engineers without borders project. Tho, two study abroad terms might leave us having to course overload for like three terms /: and tht doesnt sound fun. I think the cost for study abroad term is about the same as a term on campus thoo.</p>

<p>@nocknock I know they’re cool sometimes. I do comm service at one primary school near my school and they ask the weirdest stuff for real.</p>

<p>I’m from the North actually so that debate isn’t rlly helpful. But I’ve found some articles.</p>

<p>I’m going to try the message thing again.</p>

<p>Have any of you been to Bolivia…The huge mirror(water to sky)???Anyone:)</p>

<p>@Blue
Hey Bro, valentine’s day was pretty average for me. Oscar Pistorious (the " blade runner" in the olympics and paralympics) shot his wife yesterday morning!! Its unfortunate how many jokes are going around SA; he has no leg to stand on now, bullet for my valentine, he misunderstood his girlfriend when she said that I’d like you to take me out on Valentines… I think they are kinda funny, but not when you consider he shot his girlfriend dead and that he has basically blown his career and hurt a lot of people through it :/</p>

<p>@Carib
apparently it is pretty important… but I can’t wait to shadow the engineers!! THAT will be fun :smiley:
I have already finished school actually, we run from January to December and I sat my final exams in November - might actually turn out to help me a little more as I am applying with actual marks and not predicted grades… So basically I am on holiday till University starts! :smiley: So doing some work, having fun, getting various licenses/qualifications… :D</p>

<p>@Raith, Hahaha!! You have to admit the jokes are quite funny!! But yeah, very immature thing to do!!</p>

<p>@Rishav
They are pretty funny… he is considered a flight risk, but instead of not being allowed to fly they will just take his prostheses…
Funny and puerile :confused: bit of a shame, but I suppose it is times like these that fuel comedy of sorts.</p>

<p>@Raith - True.</p>

<p>43 Days left!! :)</p>

<p>@Rishav</p>

<p>Only start the countdown when we have a month left! -_-
Its still too far away :P</p>

<p>@Raith. That’s too cool. My school runs from September to June. So I don’t have any holiday until I finish my last exam in June. By the time you reach uni you’re half man!! With your licenses and qualifications and stuff :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>So do you guys get summer and Christmas holidays? When is summer and Christmas for you?</p>

<p>@Raith - Oh. Well i agree they’re funny but people should show just a bit more emotion and take it seriously (IMHO).
So sad to hear all that, seriously.
I dunno what to sayyy :/</p>

<p>Btw, no chasing girls? :P</p>

<p>@Sunny - Hahaha. Well, I dont have anymore VDay cards :frowning: :stuck_out_tongue: No more left. Sorry Dartmouth, next year i promise :p</p>

<p>Also I think it’s incomplete cus my friend hasnt sent his Peer Eval yet. Doofus -_-
I wont lie but I honestly thought of sending a VDay card to the Dean. :stuck_out_tongue: (dont judge me)</p>

<p>I THINK ITS TOO EARLY FOR LE COUNTDOWN TO BEGIN.</p>

<p>@Carib
Haha, well most people think I am a man xP facial hair and bigish helps :slight_smile:
We still have christmas over christmas :stuck_out_tongue: its our longest holiday. All our holidays are more around the same length and our summer is in December, so our christmas holiday is also our summer holiday.</p>

<p>@blue
I also agree that people should be more considerate, but unfortunately there isn’t much we can do.
Besides, Oscar Pistorious has been involved in many “incidents” - cars, domestic disputes. . . :confused: </p>

<p>Haha, well chasing girls will be when I am not in a place for a week :stuck_out_tongue: I might try some tonight since I have a club downstairs from the hotel I am staying at :wink: otherwise when I ge to the town where I’ll be for the next 3 months - gotta keep some good company hey ;)</p>

<p>@Raith. That’s so interesting. Is it like that for everybody on that side of the world?</p>

<p>@Rishav and @blue… Is your holiday system set up like Raith’s? How does your schooling go cuz I know you guys are doing exams now?</p>
