lol I didn't go to the official welcome, someone tell me what it is like so that I know what I missed last year lol.

I just went to my faculty welcome, and then to O day to scam some free stuff.

Plus some of the UTS housing activities....

Plus I remember trying to get in to the International Students Cocktail Party by putting on a fake accent... it didn't work lol.

Wats a housing activity?

anywayz, what foreign language did u fake?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

I live in UTS Housing and we have our own activities on O week....

I think I tried to be a pom lol....

 

[thejosiekiller]

how much is uts housing btw?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Depends which building you live in and how many people you share with. Prices are at www.housing.uts.edu.au

Gumal Ngurang is the best building... Bulga is probably second best because Geegal has a bad location.

 

[thejosiekiller]

how do you afford it?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

I have to afford it.... my family lives in Albury. A roof over my head is a necessity... It is hard to find anything much cheaper than that near uni. It is actually pretty reasonable. But I work almost full time hours usually during semester and holidays to afford it.

 

[thejosiekiller]

bloody hell thats alot of work and study you must go thru

how do you relax and meet deadlines?

 

[braindrainedAsh]

If you want something... you do what you have to do to get it. It's that simple.

I want to stay in Sydney and complete my degree. To do that I need to do all my uni work, and work a lot. So that's what I do.

It's actually not that hard once you get used to it. Especially when you have something to aim for to really motivate you.

 

[thejosiekiller]

the motivation of not being unemployed and homeless- got ya

 

[my sharona]

yeah i think im going to the study seminar then duck into the nursing faculty tmr.

People go to those things?

Does anyone know if there will be comedians/bands etc. playing at o-week? Because Joel Turner and the modern day poets are going to USYD, UNSW had a comedian tonight and switchfoot will be having a gig there too (maybe not in o-week, but still, atleast they're going to UNSW!) It seems that all UTS offers are a bunch of talks on studying and a clubs/societies thing tomolo.
