Ok I'll do a proper one:
1) 8am starts suck, but when it takes you an hour and a half to get to them they make you want to kill yourself.
2) Resolution to 1): lectures are very easily skippable, and in fact one can learn 4 weeks worth of a maths subject in less than an hour by reading the textbook.
3) KC Wong is the worst lecturer ever. If I ever get him again I'll consider deferring and/or changing unis.
4) The only good food on campus is the seafood box from Wentworth. And half the time they make that some strange way so it tastes like crap.
5) Must get a subscription the The Australian next year, it's good value.
6) V/Red Bull prior to exams is mandatory.
7) Engineering's buildings are shit.
8) Campus politics is infested by communists and wannbe communists.
9) Physics is shit, never overload it when you don't have to purely for interest reasons.
10) In semester assessments fuck you over. Final exams make you win.
11) Your mark in a subject will be inversely proportional to the number of its classes that you attend. (See my marks from last semester for evidence of this fact).
12) SUEUA + SULC >> all other socs.
13) University overall has been 100x better than high school, because it keeps me interested academically and the social aspect is also awesome.

no way... it has to be a woman!
Oh yeah, I know who you're talking about. He does MBLG and he always used to sit next to my friend and I. We always tried to avoid him but he'd always find us, especially when we're walking to Redfern. He's a freak! He just randomly asked me for money once. He always used the pick up line "I have an essay for psych on Freud".SpoRTsGaL said:
Whenever I see that cleaner, he's always cleaning the board. he reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire, lol.
He's a loser. I think he got the message that I don't like him. I haven't seen him for ages. He tries to hit on every girl and score with one of them. Poor Justin (jhakka) had to put up with him once.SpoRTsGaL said:
1. Usyd turned out better than I thought. I don't really notice any real snobs so far despite studying both arts and commerce subjects. People are as friendly as anywhere else really. Maybe I'm just lucky in my experiences.
2. Wentworth is my second home now whether I like it or not. Merewether is my 3rd home. Haha.
3. My standards have dropped from crying over getting anything less than 90 in the HSC to jumping and screaming when I pass an assessment. It's pretty dreary.
4. 1st Semester sucked and I pretty much drifted in and out. 2nd semester is better but it's depressing when I'm working so much harder and the improvement in mks is so abysmal.
Looking forward to holidays
Summer holidays didnt even look this appealing and inviting last yr!
EDIT: Ooo and I have been to Manning a grand total of 3 times now! Haha..

1. first semester was a breeze
2. not working and constant late assignments hurts -especially when you get raw marks at the top of your tutorial group, but become average with late penalties
3. drinking heavily is not a good way to live
4. being right wing is like being a commie in the 30's, everyone spits on you

lol i think i know the stalker too... he doesn't talk to me directly tho - maybe he doesn't like asians? hahaha one thing good about being asian =P most ppl seem not to like us for some reason =S but please if u are referring to fobs, call them fobs! i'm asian and not a fob and strangely enough, fairly normal. also am slightly offended when referred to in disparaging manner.
as for uni life, it's been good for me socially, esp since i came from a hole of a school where i was one of three to make it to camperdown/darlington campus, and none science. i met a great bunch of ppl, and i can't imagine life without them now. they're a part of my life now, as much as my high school and tutoring friends. i've been very lucky so far ^^
food is frightfully expensive, and $20 a week is not enough to live on. there's almost always someone i know at wentworth, but there are prettier places to hang out (even tho i never go). pool is addictive and also frightfully expensive and crowded, but i'm getting better ^^ only downside to level 5 in wentie is the presence of a certain was-crippled who had a tendency to feel up female acquaintances (or at least hug them ><).
i usually attend my classes, and try to pay attention to them, but in wallace (it's such a pain in the arse to get there from eastern ave) i have an unfortunate tendency to fall asleep. something to do with lights, lack of oxygen, warmth etc. next year, if i get wallace, i'm going to get someone to pinch me awake. or eat constantly. and not have classes in the afternoon. sleep tendency worsens after lunch.
sem 1 was for adjusting to uni life, sem 2 to pick up my marks >< i actually liked the subjects i did this sem more than last sem, including (horror of horrors) MBLG. except maths. i will always loathe maths. but 8am starts are better than 6pm finishes.
uni politics and fliers - will avoid at all costs next year. now i stuff my hands into my pockets and stare straight ahead. severely tempting to stick my rude finger up at them.
and on a final note, i should probably make more friends outside my group, as i'm becoming increasingly isolated from other uni students in general.
