John's is still better.

Hope to see you all around!

 

[Lexicographer]

No. About both I was dead serious. John's is WAY better.

 

[Lexicographer]

If that's all you can say there's no point continuing this.

John's > Andrew's

Besides, I thought you'd enjoy communal bathrooms?

 

[Lexicographer]

Pfft we argued this point ages ago. I remember thoroughly owning you

 

[Lexicographer]

Nobody cares about the sport. I was all for the quiet bit. YES, I was choosing colleges based on how well I could study in them!

 

[Lexicographer]

Nah I'm not this year. I was thinking of it, but what's the point of going to John's and paying piles for the privilege of having to catch a bus to uni, when I could stay home, catch a 1 hour train and walk for two minutes? It's way cheaper, and I can work on the train.

Nah, I was hoping to get something at Sydney, and didn't. Well, Nursing, but Science is better.

Can anyone that's finished tell me how long it took to pack? I can't imagine it'd take more than an hour ... Anyway i'm leaving tomorrow morning, but haven't started packing yet. (still gotta buy stuff, like mirror, bar fridge, knife, cutting board etc.)

 

[hipsta_jess]

an hour? jeez!
well you are a guy i guess

even when i just go on holidays it takes longer than an hour to pack..

 

[evilc]

it took me much much much longer than i expected to pack all of my stuff up..around ~8 hours all up i think

 

[ND]

Wow that long? Damn. I don't think it'll take me as long cos i'm just gonna dump everything directly into the car. Except clothes of course, which i'm gonna just pack into 3 suitcases. I figure it'll take an hour cos when i go on holiday (long trips like a month or so) i take one full suitcase and that takes about 20mins to pack.

ive been gradually packing over a week

 

[bluesky100]

I've packed all my summer clothes - earlier this week. Doubt I'll be getting much use out of them. Anyway, it will probably take me at least an hr to pack - which I'll do Sat. night.

Got plates/bowl, coffee cup thus far, have 2 prescribed text books, need another 2. Will be buying a few other this this afternoon.

mneh.. ive been packing since midday! i just get bored and walk away for a while and then come back to it! i used to think packing was so much fun but now... after ive done it about 4 times these hols and triple that in the past year... im sooooooooo over it!! and i hate to think of the unpacking that awaits me at the other end...

i fill a whole 4wd with stuff lol..

natstar I can't believe you needed a huge suitcase each for your tops and bottoms?!

I wish I had that many clothes seeing as though I can't just alternate between my school and work uniforms anymore!

 

[reynaldo]

wow.. i only have one pair of jeans..

i better make a visit to vinnies..

 

[ND]

I took 1.5 suitcases worth of clothes (i decided not to bring much winter stuff), then stuff like stereo, tv, fridge, dvd etc. And 5 pairs of shoes and some sandals/thongs, i never realised i had so much footwear. =/ I've gotta buy a fan, no air con...

And i forgot like all my my cds! I had them in disc wallets, and forgot to put them in the car... i guess i'll get someone to send them down ...

 

[chookyn]

i'm leavin' this Friday, but the laptop i've ordered hasn't been delivered yet... hopefully it will come very soon! (lol, so i can set it up and learn how it works!)

haven't got a fridge, and probably won't bother getting one, at least not yet...

arghh... don't know how i'm gonna fit all my stuff in the car! and it's like, a 10hr trip down there... oh well.

 

[Ribbon]

Your only leaving this friday? I got here the thursday before last, and o week and the first day of classes has passed since then...

I bought:
Computer
Computer desk (big L shaped thing which very needed to be deconstrcuted to fit on the trailer)
Queen bed
blankets/towels
clothes (I am too pov to have suitcases so I just crammed most stuff into a big w/e kindof bag and the rest into boxes... I discovered you can fold your hanging clothes while thier still on the hangers... which makes them alot easier to unpack!)
a few boxes worth of books
a box of stationary
a box of relevant school stuff
small bookcase
two boxes worth of shoes
a box of decoratives (ie photos, ornaments ect.)
a box full of networking cables + hub
a rabbit cage + stuff like water bottle ect.
and a box with a bunny rabbit in it

It was a challange fitting it all in the car and on the trailer!
