    Your Ideal age to get married?

    The ring would be pretty cool to have. ~symbol of pure love~ It's unnecessary for... a loving relationship yes. But I maintain it's a nice little 'next step' that costs copious amounts of money and the like... but still!

    Ah, we just learned Black-Scholes today in FINS2624 (Portfolio Management)

    Finance Electives

    Keep reading: "I have zero motivation for those subjects". Yes, the maths is easy - but pretty much the only homework I did was just cramming before the exam. But it takes more than 'having the ability to do well in the subject' to do well in the subject itself. You need motivation, and drive...

    Ah, close enough. I'm assuming accounting is fun fun fun (kinda) for you.

    You got it without even being in uni yet? Wow... nice. I thought you were already at uni and then... yeah. Nice.

    Commerce Accounting/Finance Majors>>>>> 2 unit Maths vs General Maths

    Yeah, I mean it's fine if you have the mathematical background - it's just that a few people don't. Don't let yourself be one of those people! Give yourself every advantage! etc. etc. etc.

    Thanks! But... 72 and 75, yeah... there are a few reasons why I wasn't happy with that. But then again you have some people who are just happy to pass - I, ideally, want 75+ or 80+ in all my subjects. Just how people differ, I guess.

    Commerce queries

    True, true. I kinda assumed that one would major in what interests them - which leads to them picking Flexi Core Courses that fit in with what they want to major in.

    Mechanics!!!!

    I'd say Harder 3u gets a bit ridiculous. Mechanics is usually straightforward. I'd think Conics maybe?

    Commerce Accounting/Finance Majors>>>>> 2 unit Maths vs General Maths

    Do 2 unit. Finance goes through mathematical concepts and you might as well not be like the 95% of my Finance lecture who sits there going "wtf" at the whiteboard when the lecturer does some summation and mathematical stuff. Prepare yourself now. It's not just being -good- at maths, it's...

    Flexible Core Courses shouldn't be where you pick your 'future job' from. You major in the thing you want a job in - and these flex core courses are just there to round you out as a Commerce graduate. Pick whatever interests you.

    Finance Electives

    Well, I got 72 in FINS1613 and 75 in FINS1612. You might go "ohhh they're so easy - how could you possibly stuff that up" Simple. I have zero motivation for those subjects. So my advice if you're going to pick subjects as 'WAM boosters' is: "Make sure you're interested in the subject in the...

    Your Ideal age to get married?

    But wedding anniversary sounds so much better than 'anniversary'. :P And yes, you don't need marriage to have a healthy, loving, blah blah blah... but it's just nice. I think it's nice.

    Going to the movies by yourself

    It's from the... "Eastern Suburbs Leader" or something like that. I picked it up at the maccas near UNSW yesterday. There was a big pile of them so I took one. I mean, the spelling mistakes just ooze a sense of 'community newspaper'...

    4 Unit English

    You can do a radio drama, write some poetry, direct a film, perform poetry (i.e. record yourself speaking poetry)... lots of things. Just read the syllabus.
