The Navigator Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi everyone! I'm the Navigator!Where to begin? Let's see... I was sucked into the wide world of Reborn about a couple of months ago, decided I liked it, and so here I am. Personally I don't game as much these days as I did back in the halcyon days of high school, but lately I've been slowly getting back into Pokemon - so of course it was only a matter of time before I stumbled across Reborn! The battles are great, the story is solid, and the characters are interesting in their own quirky ways. And by the looks of it, so is the community My first game was Blue, and Blastoise was - and still is - my number one favourite. Having said that, there are quite a few mons from the newer generations that could almost take its place. Almost.Meanwhile, in the real world (or at least what it is to mere mortals such as myself), I am a simple engineering/commerce student in his third year. My own plans for the future are not yet complete, but they're coming together... slowly. When not working or behind the computer, I enjoy a bit of reading, basketball and cycling. Sometimes I write stories as well. I like listening to metal (gasp!) and I can play the guitar (and formerly the piano too, but that was a long time ago), although lately a friend has been trying to get me into hip-hop and freestyling. Good luck to him, I say.Well, I think that just about covers it for me. I can be a little bit shy around strangers, but I do enjoy meeting new people. With that in mind, I look forward to getting along with you all. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peepeepoopoo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hello Mr. Navigator, Engineering huh? What kind? I just finished my first year in an engineering program. Sure is tough Anyway, hope you enjoy the forums. Love, Dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Navigator Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thanks for the welcome you guys, much appreciated! Most forums I've been to only have a thread for welcomes, and some don't bother with them at all. I'll try make the most of my time here, for what that's worth Engineering huh? What kind? I just finished my first year in an engineering program. Sure is tough Always good to see another engineer around! I'm doing Electrical. So far that's mostly been doofing around with programming and math, but it wasn't until this year that we started looked at circuits and electronics. It's definitely been tough, but that's just the way the game is played Which engineering are you doing, if I may ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peepeepoopoo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm doing electrical as well! ECE at U of T to be specific. I start my second year in September. Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of electrical stuff, just a few courses involving math and programming (the latter I don't mind at all, but the former oh my). We even had to take a course on structural engineering. Just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myst Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Engineering huh? Thats not an easy time there, so good job on this far Math... And hello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Navigator Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) I'm doing electrical as well! ECE at U of T to be specific. I start my second year in September. Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of electrical stuff, just a few courses involving math and programming (the latter I don't mind at all, but the former oh my). We even had to take a course on structural engineering. Just because. Even better, a fellow electrical engineer! Although I must say I prefer working with electronics than I do with programming, but of course one should try and master both at the same time. I had to do a civil/structures unit in my first year as well, along with introductory chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering. Supposedly it was to give us a 'feel' for a wide range of engineering fields, but was less helpful if you already knew which one you wanted to do beforehand. And I'm not sure how it works on your end, but once you cross the starting line at second year it really picks up (as it should, I guess). Just a fair warning Edited June 5, 2015 by The Navigator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peepeepoopoo Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm more interested in computers, both hardware and software aspects but I guess in order to tackle those you need a good knowledge in the electrical field. It's a bit discouraging to hear that it gets harder as the years go by I mean I should have expected that but a lot of people say that the first year is a bit harder than second because they want to "weed out the people who don't belong there". Well I guess I should take your word for it. I didn't do that well in first year compared to how I did in high school (I used to have 90s across the board, now I've got 60s). Guess I've just got to put on my big boy pants, suck it up, and double my efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Navigator Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Oh Engineering.. Heard it's tough, good luck mate! I'm about to get to college myself, and I plan on taking Accounting. Anywhooo, Welcome to Reborn! There's cookies to your left, and our fellow members wrapped in straitjackets to your right. There's cake too, but those are mine, don't touch. I hope you enjoy your stay and have fun! Funny enough, I almost picked accounting for my commerce major, but I changed my mind at the last minute. Finance4Lyf~ And cakes. Yours. I'll try to remember.

Guess I've just got to put on my big boy pants, suck it up, and double my efforts. Over here, our first year is definitely a bit of a handful because of all the different engineering types we had to 'sample', but on the upside it doesn't weigh as heavily on our grades. From then on it gets a bit tougher. Not because it's particularly hard, but because it moves quickly and there's a lot of content. Still, it can be a load of fun. The labs in particular I enjoy because those are hands-on and usually require teamwork. If you can keep up (and not slack off in the fifth week like I did...), then you'll definitely manage. Best of luck anyhow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 My first game was Blue yayaya blue is best amirite \o/ Welcome to Reborn! I approve of your avatar and its blue eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yo! Much like you I didn't do much on the forums until recently and have been playing for a while. This forum hosts a wonderful community and I hope you enjoy your time. If you need any help, feel free to PM me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star-kin Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 my dad told me to follow in his footsteps and become an engineer. I said no in a heartbeat haha. but honestly good luck with that! and welcome to Reborn! everyone here is really nice! and remember there is no escaping this hell hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yash Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hey.. Don't forget to drop your sanity in the big box outside.. Fatman is going to eat it soon.. That's my Snorlax.. I know this is really late.. And yes I'm going to be posting this greeting to the full page of new members who decided to join in during my absence.. Bye! I play guitar too.. Yes, a legit reason to mention it, unlike the previous post I made for showing off.. Also I completed my engineering course, though I did mine in Civil and Environmental..
