    Kirby bows out but rejects "Great Dissenter" tag.

    and in doing so he represented the minority judgment in a huge amount of cases - thus the dissent. The number of Constitutional and Admin law cases that have been decided 4:1 and 6:1 with Kirby dissenting.. Shame to see him go.

    Residential Colleges...

    then college is not for you... The 90% of people in the college who went to private schools and live in the Lower North Shore and don't really care about (their parents') money.

    once you get past all the hazing, you look back on it and its actually a really really good & unique experience. to pink-hickup: we had a girl last year who was a model (she was the Bonds girl, went to NY for fashion wk etc) and really 'princessy'. she told everyone to fuck off and leave her...

    New Law Building?

    I doubt it - the Sydney Law School is a lot more segregated from the rest Usyd than a usual 'faculty' e.g. education, economics. Also, the new building is a relocation of the Philip St campus which was only for law classes.

    Introductory Mathematical Finance

    Here it is. The subject is fucking hard. But the thing is, they teach a lot of stuff they dont examine. A lot of the lecture is just deriving stuff and you learn a lot of stuff 'just because its good to know'. I would say only 20% of what you learn gets examined. The best perspective I...

    Question 7

    I think many of you are confused and are thinking along the lines of: "If the natural rate includes only structural and frictional, how can unemployment fall below this?" This comes from a basic misunderstanding, which arises when the textbook says that: "the NAIRU is when cyclical = 0, and...

    Question 7

    No-one is saying that the NAIRU decreases. IT is just that the unemployment rate falls below the NAIRU temporarily. Yes, it IS possible in the short run for e < NAIRU. However, it causes inflation [re-think what NAIRU stands for]. Take it from me, an economics major at USyd & former tutor...

    Skins

    best show ever. that weird chick that he roots in college - i think it has some connection to 'animus' which is like our alter ego (google/wiki it). Because in the class, the lecturer guy goes "do you know what animus is?". -- the episode where cassie goes to NY is pretty awesome also...
