[Shaking Paper]

Not eager to go back, but I hate these last couple of weeks knowing that all my free time is about to vanish, needing to start waking up at a realistic hour and really thinking about unit choices / timetables etc.

needing to start waking up at a realistic hour.

hahaha oh god i rolled out of bed at like 11:30 this morning, watched dvds and drank tea with my friend and ate an epic sandwich. and that's it. and that could probably describe 60% of this uni break for me.

6:15 wake up calls looming, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

i take it all back i don't want to go to uni go away

 

[scarybunny]

Oh shit I forgot that I'd have to fix my sleeping patterns.

At the moment it's 2am-12pm every day. Not good. I'd like to make it 11pm-9am. Let's see how we go.

I already got excited and bought stationary. Not much, just a nice pen and some tiny little highlighters, 2 books (I never use even half a book so I'm just combining them this semester), clear folders for storing stuff... heh.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

sign me up for the wake up around midday and watch dvd's krew.

can't say i've brought any stationary though. I did get a Simpsons pencilcase for my birthday, which I suppose is stationary which I can use at uni.

EDIT: Amongst other things I got. I didn't just get a pencilcase. lulz.

you know you're missing uni when you find yourself drooling over officeworks with a fervour usually reserved for clothes and uber-hot men

^_^


I need job also.

I don't want to go back



I've just started having fun.

I'm also in the 'need a job' group. I've spent what little I had, it blows.

Are we allowed to take 5 subjects for a semester? And if so, how do I go about it?

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

I believe you simply enrol in the extra subject dont cha?

If each subject is 6cp you mean?
Yes. 30cp is ok to do in most cases.

Uh, no.

Some faculties require you to fill out a form and get approval - its called overloading. In some cases, you aren't allowed to do this if you have a below credit average.

However, it seems that most faculties will now allow you to do 30 credit points per semester, and as USyd is now 6 credit points standardised across the board, this isn't a problem.

Best to check with your faculty before proceeding.

 

[stazi]

our faculty has online forms allowing you to do this lah

 

[DeepDarkRose]

i sent them an email asking about it and they said no form needed, just enroll in 5 subjects

that's for the arts faculty at least

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

Damn, now I have to make an actual decision. I was hoping to float in hypothetical-degree-structure-land for a while longer.

 

[Iheartpaulfrank]

Yeah guys, I'm gonna take up Political Economy. WOOOOOO (It's so unlike anything I have ever taken).

But I don't know what to pick as my elective for 2nd semester. Decisions, decisions...
