eh?

I know a guy in Nanotech. You guys have the same subjects as us Applied Physics people.

 

[cloudpkk]

all the same?

 

[Lexicographer]

Yes. Look at my profile and compare the subject numbers.

can i ask wat dose "baka" mean in jap?

 

[Lexicographer]

It means "idiot". It's just your swiss-army-insult in Japanese, fits any situation.

Also, my uncle in the US called (he's a petroleum geologist) and told me the starting salary for Nanotech grads there is US$60,000 per annum. Lucky bastards, I'm transferring first chance.

nanotechnology, whatever on earth is that ? LOL
but i know a mate whos doing nanotechnology innovation at uts this year =)

 

[cloudpkk]

is there nanotech in University of Sydney?

 

[cloudpkk]

Wow bloody high pay hehe i might go america later in life

 

[Lexicographer]

Sort of (Usyd question) but it's not as good as UTS Nanotech. At UTS there's a specialised degree program for Nanotech, whereas at USyd it's just a bunch of subjects thrown together and called a Nanotech major.

yeah i wanted to do it in Uts anywaz so Baka Usyd

My brother is in his 3rd year of Nanotech at UTS, they were the first year to do the course. He started in innovations (only for the $2000 scholarship), then dropped to straight nanotech. Theres about 7 people in his course, alot dropped out or transferred.
He seems to enjoy it, i cant say that i understand what its about though, he just says its a combination of chem, physics and maths, and they get to play with million dollar microscopes.
I'm not sure about the job market, he said in Australia its a bit small, he'll probably do Honours and maybe an education degree to give himself some time for jobs to come up.

wow so nanotech kinda a new course still..
no wonder the UAI is so low make me feel dumb..

 

[christ_ine]

Yeah, I went to Nanotech enrolment with my cousin (he was enrolling in the course) .. seems like a pretty small candidature.

 

[Lexicographer]

You went to Nanotech enrollment?

I was the guy with the birds on his collar! I was sitting there listening to the radio for ages, waiting for my friend to come out.

 

[christ_ine]

Ayyy? I dont remember a guy with birds on his collar .. were you sitting in the foyer before enrolment?

 

[Lexicographer]

Yeah, I had the phone in my pocket listening to ABC Classic FM. Had I walked a bit down Harris St I could have sit in the ABC foyer and listened to it there.

Anyway, here's me: image removed

 

[christ_ine]

Noo, I don't recall seeing you there, sorry

I was sitting in the foyer in Building 6 for about 20 minutes being as loud as possible

 

[Lexicographer]

Ah. Well, I turned up early with my friend and his mother, got him to the head of the line about 5 minutes early and waited hunched over at the end of the seats (closest to the door).

A close call it was!

 

[christ_ine]

You were sitting on the seats closest to do door? I was sitting on the table across from those seats! DUN DUN DUN!!!!
