Miraculously, the uni wireless connection will let me access neither gmail nor facebook. My two favourite time wasters are gone. I am so much more productive now.

Ahaha, yesterday I started work at 8am, then went to uni and finished classes at 8:15pm. Buck up. Finishing at 5 is practically early.

Yes

From the HR reps I've spoken to, they appreciate your involvement even if you didn't win. Mine are just listed on a single line amongst other university stuff.

Two years is, I believe, the general period of time it takes to get over someone. This is simply the shit way of the world. Centuries of art has grappled with the same basic problem we all end up having; sadly enough it is nothing unique. Just... wait. And, like others have said, don't prolong...

I'm impressed by how impartial you are.

I always write checklists but never use them. Once you get an accurate and in-depth understanding of the rules and their practical application (especially where they are contested or complex), create a good set of well-ordered notes by your own hand and do a couple of practices, you'll barely...

:rofl: At least not at Melbourne. Mark-up!

It was intended to be an easy-to-learn, culturally neutral language to allow people across the world to communicate without barriers. Unfortunately it didn't take off as much as it might have. Geographically and in the professional sphere, English pretty much is the international language. In...

Ugh, yes, so true. I've been back at uni for a month already! Our exam for this class ends, quite literally, at the same time as the first classes start running for first semester. Where did my holidays go aaaarrgh

On a normal uni day, nothing. Much too lazy. If I have work, a meeting or am going out, generally foundation and a little powder, and tad of blush. Enough to brighten up my face, really - the moment I get tired I end up going pale with hideous dark circles under my eyes.

Really cbf dressing up just for classes. Jeans or other comfortable pants and a t-shirt are the order of the day. If I've got a meeting where I should be a bit better dressed, maybe a dress and boots or sandals. At the moment I tend to work after class, so I've been turning up in businesswear...

I think they'd be interested in that. If you're quite young, they might not necessarily have expected you to work before - in any case, the sort of job you're after is quite basic. Things like volunteer work and Duke of Ed are perfect to make up for it, so I'd say put it in both your cover...

What do you think the job requires? Customer service, ability to deal with frustated people, teamwork, a positive outlook etc. Show that you recognise that these are the requirements and outline how it is you have them. Be positive about the position. When I applied to work at a burger shop I...

There is a certain charm to a dog-eared book. I just leave mine to be beaten up. In most cases they're just the medium by which you take in what is written inside.

I picked up Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace by Vidal the other day but haven't had a chance to actually open it yet. Looking forward to it.

JD and LLB degrees at Melbourne are completely separate.

You could tell your children that a handsome French thief stole it from around your neck

Terribly sad, and a horrific way to die, but it really was going to happen at some point. In fact, it already did, around 40 years ago. That sport is completely insane.
