Weeeeee! I got my first paycheck today.

So guys, if you were doing an honours year research project, what would it be on?

Congratulations!

On honours projects, I've heard people say that you have to do something suggested by your supervisor, is that true?

 

[stazi]

Cool, so which part is best for not dying in a flood?

any of them. i somehow doubt there'll be another flash flood

For sociology honours, we've been told to submit a brief research proposal stating what we intend to study and how we'll collect data etc. So it looks like the supervisors have to deal with the subject areas that we decide upon.

It might be different in other faculties though...

Oh cool! So what do you have in mind, do you know what topic roughly you'd like to look at?

I'm still not really sure. I'm vaguely thinking about doing something in the sociology of sport, and then splicing that by race, gender, sexuality, class or something. But yeah, still very vague

I just sent the honours co-ordinator an email specifically asking to _not_ have Annette as my honours supervisor

I cant believe payments for 1st semester are due on the 2nd of feb! theres no way i will have either the money or citizenship by then.

Does anyone know how likely they would be to give me an extension to pay my fees??

I doubt it, unfortunately, but you can always give them a call and ask.

Aw well, i guess they'll confirm it in the letter of enrolment and stuff.

this will be a laid back semester for me. 1 relatively challenging elec eng subject, 3 easy isys subjects (information systems).

And i can't wait to end full time work (working at railcorp this summer, but only for like 1-2 days a week during semester)...i guess i wasn't quite ready to jump into a full time office job yet.
