Re: Degree In a Day

Well, you do two different things during the day. Like sessions. You are meant to nominate which ones you did beforehand.
Sadly I was not told this by my year coordinator and so I had to get the ones that were left.

Re: Degree In a Day

OK, I've got a question for you all. I've lost my confirmation page confriming my registration and I CAN'T GET IT BACK! The page keeps on telling that there is an Apache Tomcat/ 6.0.14 error and that the server has encountered an internal error. Now what do I do? A lot of my people in my school have forgotten to print it off too! PLEASE HELP US!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

And also, what do they talk about in Physics of the Stars session? I picked it out of my curiosity for my curiosity of Black Holes, Einstein's Theory of General and Special Relativity, whether the universe is collasping on itself and what not. Is that good enough? I don't want each of them to ask everybody in teh session 'So what do think about Superstring theory' or something about M-theory or.. you know what I mean.

Thanks a million guys.

Re: Degree In a Day

Your best bet would be to ring up the university. There should be a phone number somewhere that you can call. I dont actually think you need the page. I didnt have one and i got in. My school had even forgotten to register me and I still got in.

As for the physics of the stars question, i dont know whether it will go that in depth. Look at the brochure or whatever you have.
If it doesnt, id be happy to talk to you about it. We have covered most of those things in the Cosmology distinction course.

Re: Degree In a Day

Thanks for the prompt reply bro. Do you think I should call them now?

Damn distinction course? Man, I want to do it too... if only I was smart enough to accelerate a course :(. Anyways, I do have a question. Why is that in M-theory, there is estimated to be 11 spacetime dimensions when we can only indentify 4? What are the other dimensions?

Thanks.

Re: Degree In a Day

You should probably call them as soon as you can. You can't really call them until tuesday as it is a long weekend.

As for the other question, ill pm you.

Re: Degree In a Day

Yes thats right.

Personally, i didn't find it was worth it. To me it was just a waste of a day that I could have spent doing HSC work. That's just me, though.

Re: Degree In a Day

I was in year 12. I went in term 4 last year.

The quadrangle was really cool, like a scene out of harry potter. But yeah, the day certainly showed me I might like it there.

Re: Degree In a Day

Yay! Wednesday!
Morning Tea and Lunch are provided. I'm skeptical on the amount they give you *megaasian; packs snacks* o_o
Guesss, here's the link to a pdf file about the event. There's a program towards the end so you have a bit of an idea of what's going on!

Re: Degree In a Day

Haha alrighty!

I chose Chemical Eng and some weirdo History thing :S
Haha random, I don't know. I was a tad bit late in enrolling and I didn't get the ones I wanted so I think I'm just there to muck around.

Haha. My friends and I hung around school and at 4:30, someone shouted "OMG, IT'S OPEN!" so we all quickly registered...all before 5, when it should've been officially opened!

I'm going on Thursday and my electives are Vet Science and Psychology.

Anyone else?

lol, but what were doing at school until 4.30pm?

I'm going on Thursday too and hopefully will get my first preferences of Psychology in the morning and Psyshics of the Stars in the afternoon. I'm going to be in a room with the smartest people, in my age group, in the state for the day!:)

Hey, i'll probably be in the same psychology session as you! And believe me, I'm not one of the smartest in the state. But i guess everyone else is.
