MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.

I'm doing Tourism (International retail) this year.

Then I'm going to uni next year to do something completely different.

Don't ask me why. I've just always wanted a year off before uni. I was supposed to travel, but there was that whole money thing....... so I decided to go to TAFE, then if I ever drop out of uni, or if I don't like it I've got something to fall back on.

It's an OK course. A bit boring though, but I'm gonna stick to it just so I've got something to fall back on. It'll get better though when we get past bloody Australia (hurry up, Europe!), and there's a tonne of assessments due in a couple of weeks.

Yeah im gonna do an Architectural Technology course next year when i finish.
It goes for 2 years and I can get accreditation from it towards the construction management uni course i want to do.......which means i only have to do 3 years instead of 4 years.
Also, it will mean that i can work that time nd get some money, nd i can get austudy for uni.
The ohnly setback is that it is going to take 5 years to do everything instead of 4 years for just the uni course, but I'd rather do it this way so that i can get some money and have a bit of a rest from 24/7 studying!

:D :D :D :D

im doing cert 4 in youth work. its pretty full-on but because of the interest factor is a lot easier than school. and so much more freedom

ps. gotta love the pass/fail assessments

ah...
I'm doing HSC at tafe at the moment. I did year 11 at Ravenswood (well, I was physically there most of the time but nothing really went to mind...:rolleyes: ). long story but I decided to finish it at tafe.

it's actually heaps better. it was too competitive and restrained at school. too much censorship and bullshits around.
I love it at tafe. independence, freedom, etc.
