so lyk only 90 more after last week!

That'll work as an estimate. I don't know how much I drank...

And ffs, ECMT1010 isn't appearing on my Blackboard. Trying to work out if the textbook is required. :/

Do we get another chance to change units of study for second semester before second semester?

 

[Blue Suede]

Serious question... What do you actually do? Like, I thought you were in arts, but then you said something about a maths lecture?

Double degree. Science/Arts. Triple majoring (Psych/HPS/English Lit) and I changed my degree 4 times in my first two years so it wasn't until my third year that I actually needed to do first year maths (to meet the science degree component) but I was doing maths in my psych degree at the time so decided to put it off so I wasn't overloaded with numbers and they only offer advanced English units on a 2 year rotational basis meaning I did all the English subjects I was desperate to do instead of the maths because that could wait. I did the maths last year but got really sick in about week 10 and spent several weeks in hospital and I was confined to bed for 6 weeks once I left hospital so I couldn't finish the maths courses. Hence doing first year maths with LHS this year.

Yes.

Can't you do it now?

 

[OzKo]

Can't you do it now?

Pretty much.

Students can change their subjects up to Sem 2 census date iirc

dont want to now cause im not sure about next semester yet. Can you do psyc1002 without having done psyc1001, then do psyc1001 later (like in summer school?) ill probably keep maths on.

yeah you can.

 

[Riproot]

Nothing like taking an hour on stem and leaf plots...cause you know numbers have first digits and second digits...and sometimes a third :0

Wait, WHAT?! REALLY?!?!

Why is it that first year girls often insist on wearing their finest outfits - it's only uni . I love seeing all the first years with the huge bags packed to the brim with unnecessary stuff. The funniest though is people asking to go to the bathroom during a tutorial (I confess, I did this once as a first year - how embarassing).

I'm guilty of this. I like to play pokemon on my DS during breaks.

Had a guy ask how much the textbooks were in my Latin lecture today. I was like 'Aw, sweetie'.

Was he hot?

Yeah, sorry. First day in, I'm over it already.

Yep!
Already on fb in my first anatomy lecture. ^_^

Yes, but you can only have 48 CP of junior science subjects count towards a BSc or something like that. ^_^

My Monday only has one lecture. Nonetheless, I was excited as balls to be back!

 

[Arcorn]

I've got two CLAW1001 lectures tomorrow, we're actually learning stuff and I want to print the lecture slides up. But the dick put a blue background on the downloadable ones.
Fixed it, had to get rid of a background object in the master slide. I'm not wasting my ink on.

 

[Aerath]

omg yes

also hai aerath

hai2u2 <3

Yeah, I'm sorry guys - I don't get how veterans can be "super excited" for uni or anything.

 

[Obvious]

So, this time around I almost managed to get through two full days of university before deciding to only attend tutorials/practicals.

Honestly, I just feel like I can't get my brain into gear when I'm at uni unless I drink a gallon of coffee. That three hour commute + exhaustion down time is fucking awful.

Yeah… it takes me 10 minutes to get to uni and I'm still like that. ^_^

 

[Barbara Gordon]

I have a massive girl crush on my archaeology lecturer. So keen for this unit. Mm...cataloguing all the artefacts.

 

[Obvious]

How awful is it going to be when we have to find actual jobs?

in like 20 years time??? I think I'll be ready by then.

 

[RishBonjour]

fuck, I'm still confused about uni. Are we supposed to be making notes? Is there some kind of a syllabus to follow? The unit of study does not look like it to me.
