Extreme bad luck. Haven't met many new friends but met an international who is soooo thick skinned. Immediately ask for my contact and immediately and openly say he needs help with the subject and ask (demand rather) that I help him.
He started a msn convo with me and we chatted for a few second and I thought I might have misjudged him since he wasn't immediately asking for uni help. But then I realise he only wanted to find out whether I am a local student so he could then proceed to ask me to buy him concession ticket, what a !@#$ing user!!

Damn it, why cant I make any nice friends???
You gotta be careful with people in commerce.
Some of them see the concept of "friends" as very different from the norm.

Thanks for posting that email Abhi, you get + rep from me too :)

Unfortunately, the only day which affects me is Tuesday, and that's my hectic day from 9am-5pm ffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu. If they cancel classes that day I will seriously rage.

On a side note, I want to start going to the gym, I'm so unfit, it's not funny.

Chewy, don't worry about that, I met another Transfer from UTS and he wanted my notes for Contracts, Public, QMA, FINS1613 AND Criminal Law 1 (which I'm only studying now) FFFFUUUUU. We bumped into each other at uni a few times during O-week, and sigh... lo and behold he just randomly started to ask me for notes, even offering to buy them off me. I mean you're smart enough to transfer, why ask me for notes... go learn by yourself. If you can't be bothered to put in the effort, then don't come to uni. Unfortunately, in reality, most people base their friendships on a level of utility. If you are of no use to them, they dump you and stop calling you a "friend". Human beings are such complex creatures.

Speaking of meeting up... when are your breaks lol?

Unfortunately, you're in a faculty where the majority of students are self-serving, arrogant and fickle. Law students are mostly career-oriented workwhores who seem to enjoy the prospect of one-upping each other in terms of hoarding notes and higher marks and then asserting their superiority afterwards. Which is ironic as many who persue a career in law afterwards are then forced to maintain ridiculously high marks for a grad position in a firm with as many glass ceilings as a fucking skyscraper. On top of that, they'll mostly be doing lame-ass administration work for a number of years before they're taken seriously by the old, white, male partners if such a graduate was fortunate enough to be born as WHITE and MALE. I really can't see how apparently awesome it would then be to put myself through years of shit just for a higher paycheck. Even then, I'd probably be working so much as a bitch to the organisation that I wouldn't even have a chance to utilise my earnings effectively. And once more, I'd be forced to live in a high-pressure environment with all the niceties of having to deal with people who are probably even more self-serving, arrogant and fickle than they were in their university life.

I doubt the proposed strike/industrial action will affect many of us.

Not only are law ppl total assholes, but some first year students as well. So I'd be real careful esp in mentoring abhi! Once had a person who firstly didn't introduce themselves, except by surname. Then the next thing they'd ask is your notes and advice on how to get into optom/pharm/med. Failing that they exhaust every possible method in trying to contact u via BoS, then myspace then facebook.

I joined peer mentoring for FASS back in first year, didn't really get much out of it.
