BeastmasterRach Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hello everybody! My name is Rachel and I just created my account yesterday. Trying to get healthy, shed some pounds, and also learn balance between computer time (game time) and outside/no computer time. I live in New Mexico and I'm college student going for three degrees and a minor. Animal Science, Range Science, and Geology with the minor in GIS (Geographic Information System). I also return to ROTC in the spring after a close call with my knee. My big plans and long term goal is running. I've always wanted to be a marathon runner. For ROTC I have to be able to run two miles in 17 minutes and running isn't my strong suit. I do play World of Warcraft but I have to get me some more time. I also play Hearthstone. *Waves* 4 Quote Going for three degrees! Geology, Range Science, and Animal Science with a minor in GIS! Link to comment
Chris-Tien Jinn Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion!!!! We can help you meet your goals - check out the Scouts for help in training for a marathon .... or even the shorter distance!! There's a lot to take in - but take it slowly and you'll pick it up as you go. If you want more accountability, I do recommend the 6-week challenges. During these challenges, you pick a few goals to work on that will help you improve your life. 6 weeks is usually enough time to let you decide if the new activities are helpful and work for you .... or not. And that's long enough to establish new habits that you can turn into a healthier lifestyle. The current challenge started June 9th, but you can still get in on the fun. You'd start as a Level 1 Rebel (http://rebellion.ner...level-1-rebels/) .... which is where you LEARN about all of the stats, guilds, rpg character, and so on as well as working at setting SMART goals. You still get to adopt what works for you, and you can ignore the rest. Some very successful NF people never bother with classes or stat points or race or so on. They just hang out in the guild that suits their goals best. Even MOAR accountability? We have accountability groups of 7 or so people who check up on each other frequently during a challenge. Plus lots of other, optional fun. Let us know how we can help you achieve your goals. Post here ... or you can message me with the envelope icon at the upper right of the screen. Good luck!!

BeastmasterRach Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 That is sweet! I was thinking about turning it into a major, but with everything I'm doing, I decided minoring in it would be okay. *high five!* Quote Going for three degrees!

BeastmasterRach Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Heya Spark! Can't wait to put on my dancing shoes! Haha! Greenleaf! At first I had no idea what to title my post, but then, during a game of Hearthstone I saw the Leroy Jenkins card and when that card gets destroyed it says, "At least I had Chicken". I was like, "Yup!...YUP!" XD Lok'tar orgar SillyAnneh! For the Horde! My highest level is a 83 Orc Hunter, and yes, with the exception of the years I played City of Heroes, I played WoW for over 7 years or so. Never made it to any level cap. I plan to now.

NightWatcher13 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion! I love your majors!!! AnSci was actually one of my 3 (woot!) What are you planning on doing with it long run?I haven't gotten to play WoW yet, mostly because my computer's a ChromeBook so there's no way it could handle the game One of these days though, I'll get to do some raids etc. Though I really want to play ESO too (sigh) sooo many RPG's, so little time. Good luck getting to that level cap! Quote Current Challenge: Developing Roots Link to comment
BeastmasterRach Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 To be honest, no clue. All I know is I want a job where I'm either outdoors most of the time or in a lab. I'm leaning towards a job in Geology mostly. Maybe work at the Los Alamos Lab here in New Mexico or something exciting. I just do not want to be a NEPA troll. That's when the job stops becoming exciting and is just a job. However, when you get your sazzy new computer (whenever that'll be) just let me know and maybe put a small group together. I own a guild in Area 52. It's really just me in it, but I also have my main server Wyrmrest Accord. I'm in a guild there. 1 Quote Going for three degrees!

NightWatcher13 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 K, so - I just had an ADHD moment and realized what your username is from - that. totally. ROCKS! I'll definitely let ya know when I actually get a game-worthy compy Who knows when that'll ever happen, but hopefully sometime soonish. I wouldn't envy anyone with an NEPA job, so much paperwork and bureaucracy Quote Current Challenge: Developing Roots Link to comment
BeastmasterRach Posted June 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 You know what's funny is, I've had this username for over 15 years back when AIM started to gain momentum. NEPA equals no. And don't worry, as long as I'm here and WoW is around, I'll be around! Quote Going for three degrees! Geology, Range Science, and Animal Science with a minor in GIS! Link to comment
thebigPH Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hi Rachel,I also have the goal of running a marathon. I have already done so in 2011 (and an additional attempt in 2010), but I've since lost a lot of fitness, and I really want to get back into it, maybe next year! Phaedra Quote Link to comment
