    Declining standards should not be ignored

    We see this in dance all the time. It's gotten so bad that we've developed a name for these studios who take money, teach shoddy classes and tell all their kids that they're wonderful - "Dolly Dinkle" studios. I believe there will always be a fortune to be made in lowering a school's...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    I can't see my own throat :( I've been drinking water non-stop basically over last night and today (a trick developed from having largyngitis multiple times) - I can finally swallow again, haven't tried speaking yet (suspect I may not be able to do so without pain). My forehead isn't hot...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    For people who have/have had glandular fever - (it seems to be going around) How bad were the initial symptoms? I started having a sore throat last night... and when I was trying to sleep I kept waking up because it hurt so bad. And though I tried to keep drinking lots of water, it hurts...

    Memorise msater essay or not?

    Bah. I hate memorised essays. If they are extremely generic and you know your points well enough to adapt, then maybe it's ok. But I doubt the "highly sophisticated pre-written essays" are hugely adaptable - what do you do when you have to write a speech or something? People don't talk like...

    someone do a cloudstreet FAQ

    *points to image of mods slaving over existing guides for purely goodwill reasons* *points to image of mods having a life (eg uniwork) outside of BOS* *points to studyguides in a bookstore* :D Although maybe if you can find a mod/BOSmember who has done their HSC who did Cloudstreet and...

    How are you enjoying semester 2?

    mmmm, tutes. I hope I get at least one cool group like my soc289 tute last semester. I actually walked out of there last day feeling sad that class was over :( They were so cool... Leanne and I would come in and sing nursery rhymes or do handclaps and various other typical bca stuff, and they'd...

    question about GHD straighteners

    I like the idea or not putting product in my hair, but I'm so worried about damaging my hair with heat :/ That being said the heated rollers I use (they're like, at least 20 years old - I really should get new ones) are old, so probably not as good (ie less damaging) as the newer and fancier...

    Presentation..?

    My school bound everyone's majorworks with that plastic ringbind-y thing (you can have this done at a uni, or at Officeworks). Very nice presentation, easy to flip pages, extremely low chance of pages falling apart etc. Whilst we weren't obliged to make cover pages of some sort, we were...

    How are you enjoying semester 2?

    Today: Day 1 :D (because I decided not to go to a 1-hr lecture for Cul202 on monday) ARTS200 - not a bad subject, looking forward to it. Bahaha, it's shared as a "SOC231" subject or something, the BCA students are going to totally pwn the soc people in tutes though :D Sara: "is this the...

    question about GHD straighteners

    Hmm I'd probably use it an average of once a week. I basically never use product in my hair but hear that you're supposed to put this spray in your hair before you do any heat-styling, so I guess if I start curling regularly I'll start using product regularly too... This Silver Bullet thing...

    Kill Coop!!!

    I would bother more about sales if my course readers weren't the only thing I had to buy this semester... (at least, I think so) I bought one last week at it was $6 :o for CUL202. All those people paying $100+ for multiple textbooks (for one course!) have my utmost sympathies. I freak out at...

    question about GHD straighteners

    hmmmm Interesting to hear good stuff about this 'silver bullet'. How much is it? I'm thinking of rocking up someplace to try it out, if it truly is 'superior' material wise (ok, I'm totally showing my stingy side here). How wide are the plates, by the way? Hear hear sista! I have to like...

    question about GHD straighteners

    :/ ok now I'm minorly confused. I only saw two sizes at the hairdresser's - the smaller (standard) one which is the one most people have (I dunno, about 3cm in width I guess) and the wider one (maybe 5-6cm in width?). Apparently there is a "mini" one which is smaller than all of these...

    question about GHD straighteners

    Hi all, I GOT MY HAIR CUT TODAY! Yay! Ok, now that that's out of the way. My hairdresser curled my hair using a ghd today and I love it! Thinking of buying one... Basically, she used the larger ghd and so now I have nice waves/big curls. I said something along the lines of "Cool! I have to...
