Mining (2 Viewers)

i think i've made one angry jim galvin.
i told him i don't think i'd go if it was to HVO cause i'd spent my summer there (i mean, what am i going to learn in 1 day from visiting there that i didn't learn in 3 months there) and he looked and seemed pretty pissed off.

 

[Curry]

That could mean trouble. Remember when I had to do the longwall dance? He made me do that for talking in class. Not that it wasn't fun, but one of the first things he said was, "I don't get mad, I get even".

Anyway, I'm not blaming you. You're right, there is nothing new you could learn in one day that you haven't learned in three months. I don't think he's the type to hold a grudge for long anyway, he's a pretty nice guy (to us 1st years).

On another note, are you coming to the "presentation" on Thursday? Followed by the ever so sweetly subsidised cocktail party?

 

[laney]

he's about to mark my longwall assignment
it was a shit assignment and i will get a shit mark...but now i'll never know if it was cause i pissed jim off or it really was a bad assignment.


no not coming to the mitsubishi lectur. i was going to until only today i realised it was THIS thursday and i'm going on the civil eng harbour cruise instead (btw, cocktails aren't really fully subsidised when you have to pay $20 entry...oh well, still pretty cheap for cocktails)

hey dude, when is the HVO excursion?
i gotta try to write a bit of a "thank you for accomodating for me letter but i can't come" letter before the trip...try to get back into his good books.

 

[Curry]

I think it's most probably this Saturday, depending on weather. This is the open cut one you mean right? The Hunter Valley one?

 

[laney]

how was HVO?
cause the 3rd year Cobar trip was mostly fun

 

[Curry]

Cancelled due to rain. We haven't been to an open cut yet this semester. Very suxor.

Hey..

Im doin my HSC, well now..

Anyway i am very interested in Engineering and have narrowed down what i wanna do to civil, mining and mechanical, really leaning towards mining right now. I have the 2003 UAI minimum entry UAI, but a couple of my friends said that next year there is going to be a minimum entry of 85+ for all enginnering. Is this true?
Can anyone help?

 

[Curry]

Yup its true. You can apply for Flexible Entry if you think you won't get 85.

yo
i want to do mining engineering! like it seems so exciting, and i want to do it at unsw cos i went there on the weekend for courses and careers day and it was tops! thats my input for the forum, but it seems like you guys are actually doing the course as we speak, so any insight into the course would be grand. you guys on scholarships? i want to go for co op and other stuff. anyway, write soon

 

[Tuna]

What does the study of B eng(mining) involved?

 

[lilkatie]

Yewl! I'll be joining mining eng on a coop scholarship or a faculty of eng rural one - not sure what one i want yet - but i have to decide by 5 today eek
I'm kinda scared been a blonde girl and doing it but hey

 

[Curry]

You've probably chosen already but Co-op's get a lot more free drinks etc.

 

[Curry]

You've probably chosen already but Co-op's get a lot more free drinks etc. Also, do you know how many Co-op places there are in 1st year?

 

[Wolfowitz]

My mate's got one. Link.
Of course he's a VERY smart boy.

YAY! free drinks =.= ... as you might deduce, I got a co-op for mining as well! =D

Curry, IIRC from the Open Day lecture, they said ~7.

 

[ioniser]

i wanna do mining but apperently theres a high demand for mining this year lifting the cut off to over 90 form 78 last year ................dam that sucks

 

[Numero Uno]

the cut offs not gonna be 90 thats bs
i was told if u get 85, ur stilll automatically in
the problem will be for the mce ppl they have less chance getting into mining now apparently ..

mining is tops

 

[ioniser]

the dude at the engineering lecture said it himself i dont believe it but yeah

 

[Numero Uno]

2 dudes in the lecture told me this as well ??
