I have ~100000 books from Christmas that I need to read before semester starts, at which point I'll start drowning in papal decretals from the middle ages.

I need to start looking at rental properties and stuff at some point as well, hopefully I can avoid the train this year. Not that I have any money, but meh. I'll figure it out.

Yeah it's only FEE-HELP so I ended up paying like $3.5k for Chemistry 1B including a 20% loan fee. Owned.

What are your UAC preferences for uni spots?

Yeah, Usyd summer school is DFEE only. (You can still get FEE-HELP, though.)


Peepz who aren't checking their uni email: if you want your 2008 student card to have a concession stamp, you need to apply via MyUni by the 15th.

Re: student concession: omg serious?

Re: UNSW sucks: you said it!!!! ^^

 

[tennille]

No, I'm doing honours, lol. Weren't you an honours student last year?

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

on one hand i cant wait to go back to uni, on the other im totally digging not travelling to the city every day and sleeping in.

 

[withoutaface]

Playing SMG and reading all day fucking rocks.

 

[Nebuchanezzar]

I concur with the two posters above. Not commuting, sleeping in, playing SMG and reading all my books every day is something that I both dig and regard as fucking rocking.

Although the only star left on SMG is that stupid speed one of Dreadnought, so I very well may just give up on that thing.
