They're not all the same, fool.

As you can see my course structure is different from the generic one at CSU because of the electives I've picked.

Fuck off smartass.

Interesting. We don't have any phyics subjects to pick from, we've only got 1 anat and phys subject. BMS129 and BMS130 are basically the same, just broken up.

Scientific Stats is pretty much what we have to do, although I think there is a basic maths subject that can be done in lieu of scientific stats.

Stats suck hard

Oh yeh Hawkesbury students have disections at Campbelltown on Saturday for a couple of weeks

 

[katie_tully]

Yeah we have an optional cadaver field trip to Albury in October.

 

[Wooz]

Yeah we have an optional cadaver field trip to Albury in October.

Atleast yours is optional, so you have no compulsory cadaver disections?

Edit: Aren't you supposed to be retired from bos or couldn't you resist the temptation?

No, I didnt retire from bos. I retired my custom title.

But no, we don't have any compulsory cadaver dissections.

 

[Wooz]

No, I didnt retire from bos. I retired my custom title.

But no, we don't have any compulsory cadaver dissections.

Pfft, retired ur custom title. By the way your eye is really really hot *wink*.

Are you gonna do the optional ones?

 

[boris]

I think I will do the optional one. I am pretty psyched to watch a dead body be cut open.
