    dorm life: random scary moments

    a friend who lives 5 doors or so down the hall from me was sleepwalking (somehow into her window, which she'd have to step up to reach) and smashed her leg and elbow through both the blinds and glass. (blinds totally rearranged, panel completely shattered) this was all about half an hour ago...

    HSC Art, enjoying it or regretting it???

    i had a good teacher (diamond in the rough, it seems!) but still couldn't stomach art theory... it just bored me. art gets better at tertiary level - NO SYLLABUS! I found HSC art painfully unmotivating - the essay topics would frustrate me 'coz they were all so pointless (to me) and full of...

    Christian movie reviews.....

    i had a lecturer for media interpretations last year (christian). we were doing film studies. he said that just because a film had bad language, violence, etc, didn't make it a 'bad' film his perspective: if the film portrays 'bad' things as being good and 'good' things as being bad , then...

    Anyone try OTEN Institute of TAFE

    yeah oten's content is good quality but receiving a big stack of learning materials at once can be a bit overwhelming. you've gotta keep focused on the end result, otherwise you'll get bogged down on the tasks, which can be pretty tedious. however, successful completion of an oten course...

    What makes for a good university?

    yeah, usually i worked out my own clashes last year, but this was a major one that required dropping a subject and taking on a new one. (haha i'm not that slack!) :p understandable, lect's would find that frustrating . it'll be good not being a 1st year anymore, hoping that the arrogant...

    What makes for a good university?

    well if that's the case then private colleges are heaps good - one of my lecturers rang me up the other day (at home) to discuss my subjects for this semester, and was suggesting ways to resolve a clash on my timetable. Haven't even gone to registration day yet!

    Which uni do you think is the most prestigious

    yeah it is - i love living there! 'specially being a country gal. (okay maybe my lil' artsy imagination is romanticizing the place but it is nice, although the architecture doesn't begin to compare with Usyd or places like that), it's the landscaping i love, plus the main centre of the campus is...

    Which uni do you think is the most prestigious

    yea the main campus is on 325ha just west of Lake Macquarie, in the rural village of Cooranbong. it's pretty in the morning when no-one's around and the fog is lifting off the pastures, (there's a dairy farm nearby) and the sun is peeking through the dew-droplets in the gardens, (i did lots of...
