Hope this is the right place to put this! I've been buying lunch way too often (for both my wallet and my waistline) and would like to bring in food more often, but it's been at least a year and a half since I've had need of a microwave. Are they still in Fisher library, and are there any...

This is me! I was surrounded by people at school who seemed so casual about it, even going so far as to forge many hours in their logbook (something I would never do because I doubt I will feel ready even at 120 hours XD). Meanwhile, I can't get over the idea that it is a dangerous machine so...

Haha, while most of the reason I am so behind on my license for my age is due to financial reasons, I can definitely say I was happy to have the excuse not to try! I've always found the idea of operating a car to be terrifying, but then again, I'm pretty anxious and not very confident in most...

Thanks; this seems to be more or less what my instructor has been/will be doing :smile: Thanks especially for the tips! I doubt I'm going to be anywhere near overconfident anytime soon, but I want to be as competent as possible so I think all the little things will help build up confidence!

Thanks for sharing :smile: That makes me feel better about being so bad in the first few hours :redface:

:frown2: Hope you were able to find a better instructor! I know that they need to be tough, but there's tough love and being generally horrible.

I'm pretty old to have my learner license; nearly 22. I think I was about 19 when I got it but only had a single lesson (with an instructor) before having to put it on the backburner due to financial commitments (didn't have anyone who could teach me so my only option was/is professional...

Thanks very much :) And congrats on the new job!

I've always felt a little unsure about how it is best to list availability when applying for jobs during uni break so I thought I would ask here for opinions. Considering the uni break time of year, I have much available time for a job. However, am I still okay to put pretty much always...

Too short has never been a problem for me because mini's aren't my style anyway XD I think I'll avoid jeans for this first prac because they seem to be something that causes quite different opinions and frankly, I want to blend in as much as possible! I'm super happy to hear you mention...

Yeah, I agree; I wouldn't risk jeans. Frankly, they're too hot in summer weather for me anyway :) I understand that opinions on jeans may vary depending on schools, but I'll definitely be avoiding them, at least for my first prac.

The enclosed shoes was a matter that I was particularly unsure about, so thank you for the input :) I will definitely err on the side of caution with enclosed then. I'm...a little baffled to hear about prac teachers turning up in mini-skirts XD I thought common sense would dictate that it's not...

I would never show up looking like I just rolled out of bed, but I guess my problem is that different people seem to have varying opinions on how smart is either too smart or not smart enough, if that makes sense :)

Whoops. Girl, sorry! XD

Hi all :) I wasn't really sure where the best place to start a thread on this was, this or a general education thread, so I apologise if it needs to be moved. Basically I'm needing to shop for appropriate attire for my first teaching prac coming up. To be perfectly honest, I have a total blank...

Hello! :) I'm currently a third year B Secondary Ed student and my first prac is at the end of this semester (Hopefully :P Either that or next February if I'm one of those students who doesn't get a placement this year) Anyway, so far we haven't really been given all that much info about...

Oh, thank you so much :)

Hello :) I was just wondering if anyone could share any nice places to sit when I have breaks. I only really feel comfortable sitting in the library when I'm doing work and being actually productive, so it would be nice to know of some places to be when I'm relaxing. Available powerpoints...

Thanks :) Well, here's to hoping I'm catastrophising and won't fail my first unit ever. Of course, I plan to try my hardest to do as well in the other 50% task as I can, but to do badly at a 50% one is not good D: That would be great :D I'm not overly optimistic about it happening, but it...

I thought that might be the case. It's too bad this is a core unit :( I feel like that would make the unit coordinator/tutors look bad though, if the vast majority of students don't pass or get really low grades O.O What does it say about USYD as a whole if most of the history teachers have to...
