Everyone I've met is pretty much under "celebrity" status buuut... John Howard (I know, you're all turning green with envy). Evanescence. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes (The Presets). Delta Goodrem. Fuzzy & that other guy from Video Hits... Christie Hayes from Home & Away (H&A sucks as it is but...

Age: 18 Money in bank: About $1500, likely less. Not quite sure at the moment. Loans: HECS/HELP soon. Job: N/A at this time, I haven't been able to find one yet :/. All the money is just my "life" savings, i.e. just money I've been given for Christmas and birthdays throughout my life. I'm glad...

I really would love to but financially, moving closer just isn't an option right now. The only two "close" unis are each around 45 minutes away from here but I wasn't particularly intersted in any courses offered. Travelling to most of the rest takes into the hours. *Shrug* it's generally just...

I'm not interstate or overseas or anything, but I live about 2 hrs away by train (yeah, it's gonna be a bitch doing it when uni starts, my sister has to do it for work every day). I'd prefer not to have to go in just to spend such a small amount of time enrolling and crap but aah well, I guess...

Thursday 28th, 2pm-4pm. Gah, really can't be bothered to go in. I wish we could just do it online.

I thought this when I read about the guy who said he could type ~150. Was like woahhh, I thought I could type fast. But that must be damn FAST if it's true.

I can touch type at about 100+ WPM, usually with 90-100% accuracy. Basically learnt through heavy MSN use from years 3-10. Whoever says MSN is good for nothing is a dirty liar.

In response to the OP, my school barely did anything like that. We didn't even look at how to write resumes. Despite our 'career advisor' (a random D&T teacher who was roped into the job) insisting we were never going to amount to anything because we were an immature bunch of losers, he never...

+1. I'm the same. :/

I chose Ancient and it bored me to tears - probably my second-most hated after Maths. IMO you made a good decision not to take it :p. And yeah, it's a shame I wasn't interested in most of my subjects - don't get me wrong, I ended up doing pretty decently in most of them but at the same time...

Haha yeah not too bad - wasn't too disappointed with any of my marks, but I wish I hadn't wasted a year on bloody maths (ended up with a band 4 :spzz: - I have no idea what the fuck I was thinking taking it hahaha.) That's probably one of my only HSC "regrets" - that I didn't just drop it and...

Seriously, don't worry at all about your journal. I was SO lazy at times with even updating it - I think as long as it shows the general evolution of your ideas, generally outlines and gives evidence of research, etc then you should be fine. Mine was complete crap compared to some of the ones...

I carried 12 units through the HSC and looking back find myself wondering why the hell I did it. From the beginning, I said that Maths wasn't going to be counted but for one reason or another never dropped it "just in case". Low and behold - it wasn't counted and I have no intention of pursuing...

LOL yeah, definitely a bit slow to pick up on that! :D I guess "naisaton" seems to roll off the tongue pretty well so a lot of people probably don't even think about reading it backwards. Pretty stupid in retrospect. Couldn't think of a username at the time but felt I was in a minority of...

No! Memorising essays is a huge risk. Some people do it and end up doing well but if the essays you memorise are nothing like the question you're given, you could end up pretty screwed. The thing I think I'd recommend most of all is to do as many practise essays as you can and have them marked...

Dymocks Books is probably one of the biggest rip-offs I've seen. The only time I ever buy from them is when I've been given book vouchers from my school. Everything is ridiculously overpriced. Used my voucher in the online store a couple of months ago - they said my book should be shipped...

I'm curious to know how good they are too. They seem to look alright but like you said, I really like the feel of having the actual book in my hands. I also hate the idea of not being able to go and test one out in a store - it's not the type of thing I want to buy and realise I hate the moment...

Another difference Without Wings just pointed out to me about the warnings/infractions - the warnings show up in the Control Panel next to a yellow square (like a yellow card) and the infractions show a red square (like a red card). This is highlighted in the FAQ as well but you might miss it if...

Got an infraction a while ago for 'flaming' someone when I was actually mucking around with a friend, wasn't too worried by the points as I knew they wouldn't add up since I'm hardly a regular trouble-maker. Main bummer was like the -50 loss in rep or something that came with it sooo I guess...

God help everyone the day they start doing this.
