SF College students

I'm also at State and going into my 3rd year as a PoliSci major. Thanks to those oh-so-gracious budget cuts I'm barely a full time student, so I might actually get halfway through NaNo this year. It just seems like November is always the busiest month of the semester... Is it cheating if you shamelessly plug your midterm/final papers at the time into your story to bump the word count? I'm not saying I've done that or anything, but desperate times do call for desperate measures.

Lol. I have no idea if that is cheating or not, but I have to admit that I'm tempted. I have a 10 page research paper due in Roman Culture on December 2nd. It would kinda work out i guess... I mean my story is about ancient Rome after all... This season just sucks. This is my first Nano, and it just has to come at a time where I have at least 2 hours of nightly latin homework, as well as one large exam per week for all of October and November. FML. And you've got to love that budget of ours. I barely managed to get a fourth class, and would have been kicked out of housing if I hadn't.

Third year law school student here, I'll be writing a 12 page motion and studying for 3 finals during November while attempting my first NaNo.

-_-|

Aww, I feel bad now "/

Frosh here at Stanford Uni from the insane land known as "Maryland." This isn't my first time NaNo-ing but this will be my first time as a college student so I'm really nervous... Especially since my computer ate my character sheets =3=

Your weather has thrown me all whack, yo. I think I'm safe since most of my end of term exams are in December, but my FL and CS classes are killing me xD

So, if anyone would be so kind as to show this poor newb the ropes, I'd be grateful ^_~

I'm a 1st year senior at SFSU with a Theater/English double-major, and a 6th year NaNo-er. My costume crew duties for one of the shows overlap a bit with NaNo, and I have an essay due every week for one English class, but since I have no plans over Thanksgiving break, I'm hoping it will all even out. Yay, college.

Hi! I'm a senior at SFSU studying Biology. :) This will be my first year participating in NaNoWrMo.

i've attempted Nano the last two years and haven't got very far.. i'm a international student from the UK and suddenly remembered about it so thought i'd give it a shot again. third time lucky and all! i'm a third year who chose stupidly advanced classes (not understanding the system being english etc) so we'll see how it goes.

Hi and welcome Flora! Everything I write seems to be set somewhere in England, so I look forward to meeting you. At one of the write-ins perhaps.

Hey guys, I go to USF International Studies :) This is my first time participating, so I'm looking forward to write-ins and meeting like-minded people. And I'm also from Maryland! Fancy that! It's fun to know someone here is from the homeland.

Hi everyone!

I'm a student at CCSF and this is my first year participating too!

Frosh at Stanford, winner last year! What are you all doing for the night of writing dangerously?

Hey I'm also a frosh at Stanford! Do you know anybody else on campus hosting write ins???

Attending it, I hope! I've gone to it the last two years and it's a blast.

Senior at SFSU here, in the BECA (Radio & Television) Dept. My first NaNo this year, looking forward to studying for two big tests and writing a handful of papers in November, in addition to endless revisions of sitcom scripts, plus I'm in the middle of updating a friends blog and starting two podcasts (eek!) We'll see just how well this crazy adventure goes, looking forward to commiserating with you all starting Sunday ^_^

Hey all,

I'm a junior at SFSU, studying business. This is my first time doing NaNo, which will be fun between studying and tests.

Good luck to everyone.

Sophomore at SFSU, Philosophy/Creative writing double major. I get to combine NANO with two separate philosophy papers, on 7 pages, the other 10 pages! Perhaps we should have some sort of SFSU write in seeing as there's at least a handful of us... Anyone else up for it?

I'd like that, Ex. We should definitely work out at least a couple of write-ins if we can manage, 'twould be awesome.

I'm at stanford also, although much older then a frosh. I'll be hosting stanford/palo alto write ins. Not positive about the details yet, but I'm thinking Wed night at prolific oven in palo alto, Friday afternoon at Nexus cafe, and maybe a Saturday day on in Palo alto.

weeee!

Hi Sean here, SF State 2nd year. I'm a Cinema Major, this'll be my third or fourth attempt at NaNo

Remember, if they talk in the third person, they're a villain.

Wow there are a lot of us actually. We should definitely do a write-in in West Portal or on campus.

I'm also a Cinema Major 2nd year. This will be my third year on Nanowrimo but not consecutive. I'll be facing considerable amounts of school work and paper writing as I push my wordcount.

Very interested in a write-in or many, as I said.

Cheers
Max!

Yo!

Freshman at SFSU. This is my first time doing this and man, i'm excited! But I still don't know what to write about seeing as I just decided like, NOW to join :)

I'm a second-year English major with a concentration in writing at USF! I'm seriously considering asking one of my professors if I could get extra credit if I finish all 50,000 words, haha. Good luck to all of you with finals and huge papers and everything! I have a couple papers to do this month, but I don't think it will be too difficult to get some nano-ing in, too... This is my first year doing this, I'm so excited!

I'm a first year photojournalism major at SFSU. my first time doing nano because my crazy friends convinced me to do it with them xD

Yes! Cheating it is, unless of course you are Anne Rice!

Yes! Cheating it is, unless of course you are Anne Rice! I did mention, did I, that she was a PoliSci major. And so was I, decades, ago! Do your finals, and just keep blathering on, NaNoWriMo will love you anyway. But no nasty PoliSci papers! I myself did a cartoon for my MA final. Dr. Pomerleau loved it as did Heather. The rest....well, no one said a word!

Absolutely awesome! I am impressed!

Hey, I'm a freshman at SFSU and this is the first year I've decided to do NaNoWriMo seriously. I'm quite determined to reach 50,000 words while still managing to do my regular studying and school work. We'll see how it goes. :)

Greetings everyone, my name is Jon-o and it's my first year at SFSU studying creative writing (fifth year in college so far). I am hoping to check out what everyone comes up with for their writings!

Hello, all! I'm an English Education major (but with major desires to be a Creative Writing major... but I like the idea of summer breaks for writing novels!) This is my third year NaNo-ing, but the first year I think I'll actually make the 50,000.
