I live in Berowra HTS, and go to UNI in Lidcombe...so I get a bus to Berowra station, train to Strathfield then change and get a train to Lidcombe, then walk to the campus. So it will usually take around 3 and a half to 4 hours a day, depending on buses and stuff.

I started UNI 2 days ago, and now I'm finally realising what a godsent those holidays were! 4 months of doing whatever you like, whenever you liked! My timetable is really full-5 days, 27 hours a week, along with 4 hours travel a day, and plenty of assessments. (we already have 1 next week...

No, I go to Sydney UNI...but I'm at one of the smaller campuses, so I have a different orientation schedule. And since it's a lot smaller-they can fit all the first years in on the one day, instead of having to spread it over a week. So it's just "O Day" for us. :)

For the record-I remember having an open book test for english in year 12 and yes-it did end up counting for my final assessment mark (it was worth something like 10%). So they DO happen...

I found my O day pretty worthless in terms of getting information, but if you haven't gotton everything you need for your course (course manuals and timetable sor anything like that you need...) then O Day is the best time to go to get them-chasing it up during the semester will be a huge pain...

ROFL @ the apple sauce! :D Of all the things to use...apple sauce!! I can't believe I never heard that one.:eek:

Whats the problem? You got suspended for what-one week, not even near any important exams? Even the shitkicker half yearlys are still a few weeks away. (if I'm not mistaken...). And a week off isn't really all that long anyway-you can certainly still catch up!

We had a drug dealer come in year 9 or 10-but we were so innocent and blind-we had no idea! "I wonder why her eyes look so glazed? I guess she's just tired!" "I wonder why she takes her bag everywhere she goes and won't let anyone near it? I guess she's just nervous about it, since she's new...

I'm doing speech pathalogy-over at the Cumberland Campus at Lidcombe (which sucks...wish I was at the main campus! We have to pay the same student guild fees as those on the main one-yet we have nothing good at our campus-we just pay for everyone elses stuff! :mad1: ) Anyway-I thought I didn't...

We were told to study 2-3 hours a day all through theyear, but more when exams came up-I don't know ANYONE at my school who did that much! I didn't study til the week before my trials and half yearlys, and until 3 weeks before the HSC. I barely ever did homework, and did all my assignments at...

There was this rumour going around in year 11 that this girl who left our school was pregnant. I thought it was all bullshit, until I was in the shopping centre a few months ago and saw her pushing along a stroller with a baby it it-who looked about the right age.:o

Hey, since they are not even in use-can we get rid of the sections on the exam thoughts? I know that means they will have to all be put up again when this years HSC comes around, but it just gets annoying scrolling over them all the time-especially since there isn't a point to them right now!

So far it looks like I've got about 24 hours of lectures, labs and tutes altogether...but it's really hard to tell on my timetable, I guess I won't figure out for sure til next week. Anyway-that SUCKS, cos I got told the course was only 18 hours, which is why I chose it over my second...

a lot of maths probably IS a waste of time-I mean, I don't think there will be too many times we will ever have to use a lot of the formulas they made us all memorise! But even so...I think all subjects have some sort of point. I think maths helps you to think logically-even if you do never...

If you're not sure yet-just keep them all for the time being! You can always drop one later on, and it will probably get a bit more clearer once you are a bit further into year 12-I foudn there was a big difference in the way I felt towards my subjects between year 11 and 12! So if you really...

Maths gave me my only band 6.

What are some of the scandalous tales that got told around your school? Like students or teachers suddenly disappearing and the next week there are 5 different stories going around about what happened! Pregnancies, sex scandals...anything!

37th in the state is shit? I'd hate to hear whats to be said about MY old school.

I don't think so. I mean-he has spent time with many kids privately, yet only one person has ever claimed sexual abuse. I think he was probably very affectionate with that kid-to the point where the kids parents figured he would be an easy target to milk some money out of it. I think the way...

ROFL!:D
