yeah it kind of knocks your confidence, doesn't it? not that i've been let down because i haven't tried yet, but i know the feeling. what uni do you go to?

i wish my lectures were interactive like this. everyone's still so shell-shocked the lecturers can't coax anyone to reply, even as a large group.

i'm having this problem too, i'm pretty shy. i sit next to someone in a lecture and my thought process is something like this: talk to them! no dont! talk to them! no dont! etc you may be able to infer that i am socially retarded. and i dont live in the area so it's hard to stay...

this happened to me the other day on the train (with a guy, not girl)

if you need a textbook quick i recommend textbookexchange.com. upside, you get the book much cheaper than the co-op (as it's second hand they're usually around half price), but the downside is that you need to organise to meet with the person (unless there's a postage option). i got mine...

i agree. there's this guy who did it a few times in eco, he was just trying to be like 'look im so smart' to the lecturer. so annoying.

assuming you're first year (profile says HSC 2009), i'm pretty sure you have to do a full academic year (i.e. you cant transfer at the beginning of semester 2) before you can transfer.

yeah i disagree about the ATAR asking too, no one has asked me and i haven't asked anyone. it's a stupid thing to do anyway, either you or the person you're talking to will end up feeling awkward. there's no real way to ask/answer without sounding elitist and snobby.

i had a similar experience of getting hopelessly lost. however mine is quite pathetic, as the room it took me so long to find was one i'd been in two days earlier lol.

that happened in one of mine. half an hour through a marketing lecture these girls left, and the lecturer was like, 'already? :uhoh:' and then some guy at the door was like, 'they just realised this isnt the accounting lecture'. and the lecturer was like, 'it took them half an hour?'

haha i have to admit, this was me on the first day. one time i realised i was going in the completely opposite direction than i was supposed to, there's no way to correct that without looking completely retarded. i actually know where my lectures are now, though.

for some reason i can just tell, being a first year myself. probably because i can detect the terror in their eyes or that 'omg im so lost' look. also, a lot of the girls seem to have more makeup than brains.

is this the gucci handbag obsessed eco lecturer?

oh okay cool. see i was confused because i got one answer from the student centre over the phone and another in person, and on the uts online marketing section it said no tutes so i was life wtf? anyway, thanks for clearing that up :)

i got lost looking for the business student centre to get my id card, had to ask someone in the end. the guy who helped me was lovely, walked me half the way there haha. i didnt have any trouble finding my lecture, though, and it was all pretty simple to understand. just a question guys...

yeah see i thought, 'awesome i can see my friends all the time' but since all of them went to uni i only saw them about once a week. and i only live half an hour away from them, not two hours.

attn: shit customers - stop coming in when i'm in charge. i had so many in a row the other day, it was ridiculous. it never happens on any other shift but mine. special order people - if your name isn't coming up in my system, you've probably ordered it somewhere else. i can't really help you...

yeah im missing it too. after going on monday i'm convinced our oweek is basically a waste of time

i went on the 22nd (if you saw an incredibly sunburnt girl, it was probably me). i should've made more of an effort to talk to people, i kind of ended up talking to one person most of the time. and on the campus tour we went to a bar at the end but i had to leave so i couldn't chat to more...

yeah i agree with this, plus the toilets had run out of paper by the time i got there which was like 1pm. and they hosed people down at the front of the mosh, but only while the bands were playing - i was roasting waiting for paramore to come on. i wish they chose a venue with more shade and...
