    Orientation Week

    Haha well if it's anything like Melbourne Uni's O-week then I don't think it'll be a waste of time. Check out the clip @ the VIVE COOL CITY archive.

    Ex-Schoolies-Spending Money?

    Being a professional jew I managed to only spend $27 the whole week, and won $20 in a bet so made a net loss of $7. If you want to be able to spend liberally and not have to worry about how much money you have left, $50/day should be more than enough.

    Dirtbikes anyone??

    Whoa somebody likes their big bore off roaders :P Been into chook-chasers for a while now, ridden everything from 50cc pit bikes to 250 2 stroke mxers.

    I still have no idea what to do with ym life...

    Take a year off. Holiday, get some employment experience, whatever, enjoy yourself. At the end of the year you will have a much better idea of what you want to do. Alternatively, just do arts if you want to, who cares what your parents think. Although I would advise against spending the next 9...

    How much is everyone paying for schoolies?

    accommodation: $175 ...and yeah, that's about it :P Also, everyone I know (VIC) is going from the 29th (nov) - 6th (dec)

    Bulk up

    Whoa that's a top effort, well done. To the OP, eating a shitload and basic compound exercises along with plenty of recovery time should see you net some decent gains, the key is patience. That said, your genetics will have the final say in how big you are and can be a huge limiting factor...

    sleeping after eating

    It's a good idea to stay awake after you've eaten, although it entirely depends on the circumstances and type of food. For example, it is a good idea to have an easily digestible source of protein (eg. whey shake) right before you go to bed if you are involved in some kind of decent exercise...

    ADF Gap Year

    Damnit! I'd say you have it as they told me I couldn't do it on my YOU session, they said " you can't do combat engineer, they are taking it off the GAP program".This was about 4 months ago, so I'd say at some stage they have realised they are actually doing it and just didn't bother to tell me...

    ADF Gap Year

    What the? Did you get combat engineer for GAP year? I was screwed around for about 2 months because they said they were abandoning the combat engineer option because it's not financially feasible to train us if they weren't getting the 4 years return of service. I will be royally pissed if they...

    ADF Gap Year

    I had just the doctor and so did everybody else I spoke to at my assessment day. On the Medical History Questionaire you can opt to have a chaperone present if you want. The medical isn't really a big deal, it's about 3.5 seconds worth of awkwardness, the rest is what you'd expect from a typical...

    ADF Gap Year

    I had this same problem, called up my case manager and he said you can be posted anywhere. So yeah, don't learn a specific job because it isn't one, more of a work experience type thing unlike the Army gap where you just do a job with an out clause in your contract. Just learn as much as you can...

    ADF Gap Year

    Just had my assessment day recently and was recommended for both my preferences (NAVY GAP, OP GBAD- ARMY). I am in the same position as haystack, just gotta wait til somebody pulls out, which apparently is likely to happen once TERs are released. For those interested, make sure you know what's...

    Year 12 2009

    Re: Year 12 in a week! why am I not scared? What the hell? Why would you be scared? You aren't even in year 12 yet :P. I still haven't bought some of my textbooks and my first exam is in 8 days. It's not that much harder than any other year. Teachers have probably been telling you since year 7...

    ADF Gap Year

    Arghh, end of september, I hope not :|. I heard last year the Army didn't fill until Jan of this year and RAAF and RAN were early December (i'm applying for RAN btw). Plus this year they have doubled the numbers. I've been waiting for all my paperwork and stuff to clear, finally got a call on...

    Highest payed gratuates vs. 10 years after ?

    I was running my own small, online business for about 12 months a little while back. It takes a lot of time and effort, sometimes for only a miniscule or even negative return but once you get the hang of things it becomes easier and easier. Some weekends I would rake in $500 for about 2-4 hours...

    Kon ni chua. How can I make her love me?

    Only way to get a girl...you need to be over 6'0", have a nice tan, big arms and abs. If you don't fit that criteria you have no hope. Anyway, in all seriousness I think most guys have been in a similar position to you. You will just have to accept the fact she probably doesn't feel the same...

    Lorne 08?

    Group of 4 guys going down from 29th Nov - 6th Dec, staying at Queens Park Camping Ground near the pier, anybody else staying there? By the time we booked everything else was booked out bar the Mantra which was overpriced like a fothermucker.
