    Thai People at MQ?

    I'm sure there are. As to how to find them... My best advice would be to head down to the International Office - level 1 E3A. Knowing that many international students desire the opportunity to develop stronger english-speaking skills, you might think about setting up a small peer group that...

    MQ Library

    Nah, she doesn't mind. Sandie spoke to her the other day about whether she REALLY wanted her mobile phone number broadcast to hundreds of people (through mentor emails, anyway), unfortunately she only realised it probably wasn't the safest of ideas until after it had been emailed to many people...

    MQ Library

    Kate was telling me about a part of a library with phones that used to be open reeeaaalllly late so the international students could go there and call up their families, who often were in another timezone. I never saw it myself but can imagine how important that would be, especially considering...

    What are everyone's goals for this semester??

    Sympathies. One of my co-workers is in a similar situations for a 300-level computing unit, but almost all the people in her group are idiots. She was telling me today about one of the people in her group who misinterpreted a diagram (because they bludged second year), and instead of asking the...

    who lives on campus?

    Jesus fucking christ x 2. That drop-down alien ad game thingo is doing nothing for my sanity. Anyway... If I were in a better situation financially, I'd consider moving closer to uni as well. I've just come home from spending the week house-sitting for my dance teacher who lives in Turramurra...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    This isn't really diet or study related, but - Jesus fucking christ. Has anyone else got that freaky alien drop-down ad that takes over 2/3 of your screen with some game where you're supposed to kill aliens within 5 seconds as they advance towards you (presumably with the intent of killing...

    B Arts in Development Studies & Cultural Change...

    A friend of mine is doing that. Soon, they'll graduate and enter training of some kind - and get paid for it - then they'll be fully trained and released into the workforce with a six-figure paycheck. Seems like there's a lot of job opportunities for this kind of thing right now.

    help me make up my mind?

    I think it's more important to get to a place where you know you can at least transfer into a variety of degrees you're interested in, as opposed to jumping to the one that you think offers better job prospects. Go for what you love and are good at... because unless you do something really...

    Law Revue 07 - Video Skits

    Please tell me that someone really wasn't insane enough to do a grande jete a la seconde with no clothes on in the middle of winter near X5B. Otherwise, just watched the first one. Very clever, very funny, top stuff :) EDIT: Must remember not to drink whilst watching comedy. I think I just...

    Time on campus each week

    Even if annastar can't attend Orientation Day, we can arrange to have someone from the Transition Department (most likely me) or Equity Support (http://www.sss.mq.edu.au/equity/index.htm) to take you on a short tour of the campus and help you get settled in :) Most of the building doors have...

    Me too, but every now and again she reminds us why we hate part of her.

    America's Next Top Model Cycle 8

    I know I've been supporting Brittney almost all throughout the competition, but tonight I really wanted to see her go. Was happy with the final outcome, as I was really disappointed in her lack of professionalism. I still have no idea who could win. Everyone's got pros and cons... Renee: Might...

    Stolen Student Card / Lost Books

    Agree with Rob - co-op's lazy! They only ever ask for my co-op card. * Both the SAM Spot and the Security Centre act as lost property on campus, I'd give both of them a call and see if they've picked up a card. * To get a new student card you need to fill out a form - you may be able to get it...

    Conception Day Info Thread

    True. But that still leaves me wondering - assuming they will try to get some sort of contribution fee for the students, how are they going to do it? Will it become some sort of new compulsary fee? Or will we not be 'encouraged' to pay anything at all? (although I find that hard to believe?)

    Conception Day Info Thread

    So what's the main plug for getting students to pay student union fees next year then? :/ Is there any sort of official announcement on this that I missed? Had a quick look in student email and on MQ news and couldn't find anything (but I did only have a quick look, so...)

    America's Next Top Model Cycle 8

    I'm a bit sad to see Jael go. Whitney's right... you either love or hate Jael and I love her :D Unfortunately, I can't see any outright winner. Nor anyone who I truly feels deserves to win at this point, although Renee and Natasha are getting stronger.
