2nd year subject, suppoed to be a full house but plenty of spare seats. In the first year subject I went to I had to sit on the floor first before I found a seat.

Does anyone know when the Centrelink start-up scholarships etc. are paid?

Also, Basser steps are nothing compared to what Bowral High kids had to contend with every day.
I went and asked the other day...They pay on you payment date after the date that you start uni. so your next payment.

Lol. How come?
Some are just dickheads, some are annoying as hell by talking throughout lectures. Last semester I hated having someone with a laptop sitting infront of me because they'd be, doing all sorts of crap like refreshing facebook, typing loudly, playing pokemon and watching Robin Williams stand-up with earphones in. Why bother coming to the lecture? And the other group of people seem OK but because i wasn't a vigilante trying to make friends in my first year, everyone just ignores me. I guess always sitting alone in lectures makes me more susceptible to distractions. :( I hope all the first years have a better uni experience than I'm having.

Had my first lecture on torts, which actually cleared a lot up :/, then a 6 hour break because of no tutorials in the first week, then a riveting seminar on australian legal system.

Not the best day.

it was boring. lecturers just talked. people wrote notes. I swear, almost half the class was about to fall asleep (if not already asleep).

Some people in lectures are retarded. There was one guy today who had an iPad in front of me today. He played games on it for a while then decided he would write in Chinese on it, hold it up and wave it about until what I assume is a friend of his across the room saw it and done the same thing. Rinse and repeat several times, writing (in paint or something similar) on an Ipad in Chinese and holding it up to send a message to someone across the room. Frigging idiots they are.

I think it's like that for most people--certainly was for me.

B.Nursing (city) at UTS. :)
Ah no wonder--there's something about lectures for sciency subjects being all clumped together isn't it? (esp something like nursing where I think you'd have nursing-specific subjects so it's not like you can schedule breaks between different lecture streams?)
