Re: If a person finishes a degree, can they actually get into any degree after that.. Yeah, that's how the WAM system works at my uni (Newcastle). All our courses are weighted, so first year courses are 1000 level, 2nd year 2000, etc and so each consecutive level is worth more. It just makes...

lol, me too, always a brilliant idea

lol, as you probably found, the workshop guys are alright so they won't axe you for not having the right gear in week 1, forget it in a later week though and they'll give you a bit of a hard time. You're pretty lucky to have workshop on a monday, mine was at 8am on a Friday morning, which...

There's always jobs in water, particularly if you don't mind going into planning/design/construction of dams or irrigation type systems as a civil engineer. If you did a joint fluids course with chem. eng. and civil you probably learned about flow in pipes as well as flow in open systems or...

If you're not into maths then chemical engineering is probably the best, as it relies on maths the least (we basically only use excel or other computer programs to solve any mathematical problems, rather than doing them by hand). Also, chemical engineering isn't really that related to...

Re: If a person finishes a degree, can they actually get into any degree after that.. I think your WAM is weighted so that the most important thing is how you do in the higher level courses of the degree. Usually first year courses only count for 1/3 of a 3rd year course, 2nd year courses count...

Combined B Engineering (Chemical)/B Business @ Newcastle My first preference-yay! I got 92.3 and the cuttoff was 90.25...

Well i didn't get anything off my parents for my results, my mum did proceed to give my sister a lecture over dinner on how important the hsc is and not to stuff up ("like me" was strongly implied) just after i got my results.... ...my boyfriend took me out to dinner tho so that was ok.

92.3 I'm pretty happy, SAM calculated a 2004 UAI of 91.7 so i was quite surprised to get over 92, i thought it'd go down... I only need 91 to do combined chemical engineering and business at uni newcastle! (or 77 for uncombined engineering, lol) Well done everyone!

I dropped 3u for 2u on the 3rd last day of school... It kinda pissed off the careers teacher cos he had to make special arangements for me with BOS cos the cut off date for dropping was the friday before that.. oh well, my 2u ended up much better than it would have been if i had had to study for...

I thought the exam was pretty good. I did Q5 for the essay, tossed up between it and Q10. I was so glad there wasn't any critic and historian parts in the test, i likes the use of an artist's quote instead in the Duchamp question. :) How did everyone go with their BOW's? Mine got preselected...

I liked the Duchamp question too. I thought that test was good, not too hard with some nice plates to study. I like how they didn't have critic exerpts, having a quote from the artist for 1c) is much more interesting! I did Q5 for section II, i was tossing up between 5 and 10, what did everyone...

I'm so bored now, i seriously can't think of anything to do after filling all my free time with stressing about or studying for the HSC for the last few months. It's like i lost the ability to think of stuff to do, plus there's that constant nagging feeling that i'm supposed to be doing...

That's tough.. i think u should stay friends with him, sit him down and really talk to him about how u both feel.. Tell him that u like someone else alot and that u really just wanna be there for this guy as a friend, nothing more.. let him know that your friendship is important to u, and you're...

lol, took the words right outta my mouth.. if u feel ready to have sex, and u've reached puberty then i don't see a problem.. as long as u feel ready..

hey don't worry bout it.. i've heard that cruises do involve alot of sex and alcohol but give him the benifit of the doubt.. thez no point ruining you're time with you're friends while he's away by worrying... just relax and have fun yourself! It'll all be ok..

Aargh! my teachers have been saying my BOW was great the whole way thru.. i got full marks for it in the 2nd last internal assessment.. Then all four of the art teachers at my school marked it for the final internal assessment and i only got 41/50... one of the teachers didn't like it much...

i see my boy pretty much every day... During the week he comes over most nights 4 tea after he finishes uni, cos by then i've got my homework done since i'm still at school, if not i go to his place 4 tea... and we play squash together in a comp on fridays, then on the weekend we both work...

Yes, but in some cases it's the community values that bring around change for the good.. How did Europe get out of the dark ages into the renaissance? They still had the same religious beliefs and systems, but community values led them to an appreciation of science and art that had been banished...

lol! exactly..
