Don't worry, Shboul usually takes a little while getting stuff on to WebCT. We haven't even got our essay topics or due dates yet so just chillax.

I'm not sure if you have to do Arabic if you're just majoring in ARIS but I know you have to do a couple of years if you're going to do honours. You should be able to find some info on the Department's website (go to Usyd website, then Faculties>Arts>ARIS).

The reason the Bible reads poetically is because it wasn't originally written down, instead it was transmitted orally. Making it poetic enabled it to be more easily remembered and therefore accurately transmitted. In Jewish tradition much of Jewish Law (halacha) was originally transmitted orally...

I've only ever had one problem with an international student in an Arabic class. Her English was poor enough, so I have no idea what she was thinking trying to learn Arabic.... On that note, WAF why do you the Shahada in your signature??

I've done a couple of subjects in this area and am hoping to major in it (which means I do a couple of years of Arabic too). I've found it to be fantastic, the lecturers really know their stuff and the tutorials always have the potential to be very informative and stimulating (it will depend...

Yeah the prices at Ralph's are worth it I say. Food at Manning isn't anything special but those toasted rolls at Ralph's are quality. Considering also that a bowl of crap pasta at Manning is about $7 with an Access Card and most of the rolls at Ralph's are less than that I'll take Ralph's any day.

Fuck that Opera was good.

Why is this so complicated? You drop a subject in Sem 1 and pick up Chinese and then you drop Philo for Sem 2 and continue with Chinese. If you don't want to drop a subject in Sem 1 then you don't do Chinese.

Re: Semester I 2007 - Chatter Thread! Textboox exchange is awesome if they have what you're after. Arts chicks - definitely the hottest.

It depends if your friends negative views are serious or if they're just schoolyard banter. I remember at my school we would joke about anything and everything but it somehow managed to actually increase the bond between everyone. For example, we would play basketball most lunchtimes and teams...

There's a cloak room on the second floor, it's $2 for the night.

You could also just do an Arts degree and choose Philosophy subjects.

Here's my bitchin' timetable. The Arabic Tute on a Thursday night initially seemed annoying but now that I have discovered the wonders of Manning it's rather convenient.

I don't think you need an access card to join anything, it just means you have to pay a $37 admin fee. I think I've already saved more than my access card cost in one day by avoiding the admin fee so lesson = buy an access card.

Yeah you need to join SU Sport first and when you fill out the form for them make sure to put Ultimate Frisbee down. You'll need a sginature from one of the UF guys so just come down to the Oval behind Manning at 4pm Thursday and talk to the guys there and they'll sort you out. I must warn you...
