Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
Goals:
- Meeting more randoms in lectures who turn out to be friends of friends
- Venture out of the campus during breaks to discover the culinary world beyond Wentworth and Manning
- Get an HD in ECOP1002
- Finally decide on whether to be politically active or not
- Improve my punctuality for tutes (as oppposed to arriving as much as 45 minutes late every week...)
- Write an article or two that I would personally read if written by somebody else, to replace at least some of the filth in the Bull and Honi Soit (I don't see how some of the articles in said publications are worthy of being proudly displayed in a portfolio to be used to snag an internship at some ultra mega media outlet, but I guess few, if not any uni student media is merely produced for this purpose)
- Attend 'Theatresports' now that I'm free at 1 on Thursdays, and see a couple of lunchtime bands

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
For me this is my last chance to stay in uni. If I fail any of the repeated subjects I'm pulling out. I go where the road takes me. I'm in a better state of mind then I'll ever be to conquer my course. Here's hoping my determination doesn't die two weeks into the semester. Having huge money problems at the moment. I'll be spending alot of time at the library to cut cost, bring my own food so I don't starve from lack of funds and it looks like I wont be going out too often, not that I ever went out heaps anyways. I've been running away from maturity but it looks like it's caught up and wanting a fight.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
It's waaaay too soon. I'm still trying to get over last semester. I just want another week like the MQ and UTS kids (who are bludgers considering they've had almost a month more than us
). But alas, they laugh at us about it but secretly are jealous coz we go to usyd - i know usyd isn't the best, but I swear my UTS and MQ friends have insecurities.
Goals:
- Credit and above avg
- Credit avg especially in Psych so I can stay in my degree
- Find a way to sleep more (8 hours just isn't enough)
- See some of my old friends more
- Slowly get off the coffee addiction (yeh right...keep dreaming!)
I don't want to go back! I only have one hour today 4-5pm and I'm so tempted not to go lol

My chemistry lecture today was so boring. The lecturer mumbles and I couldn't understand a word he was saying.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
It was really amusing how our CHEM1612 lecturer was thinknig that we were just a normal bunch of Science kids--he was like, 'and you should've done (thermodynamics basis) in first semester physics (then later added--or HSC Chemistry', and 'if you wanna major in x....' The thing is, we didn't do first semester physics, and we can't major in pharmacy, lol oh well

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
I have a feeling I'm going to be one of those super busy corporate types who doesn't have time for herself.
Uni today was so hectic. Was on 5hrs sleep too, so babbled alot in class discussions. I should learn to keep my mouth shut unless I know what I'm going to say before I say it. *facepalms*
Legal secretary work (6-10hrs a week) and tutoring (18hrs a week). And that's not including time spent preparing work and travelling.lala2 said:

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
I thought I was the only one not to get into the spirit of things in semester 1, but it seems a few people have taken until this semester to participate in a more healthy social life. I feel proud today--I signed up for the Volunteer Tutoring Program, the Careers Day for Girls (run by the Tutoring Program), the Pharmacy stall for Sydney Uni Live, and actually caught up with people who are willing to talk to me in anything other than Mandarin (which, as you can tell, I can't understand). international students....:mad1: but if I learnt Cantonese in four years just from listening to my parents, maybe I can learn Mandarin too by the end of degree...hmmm....*mutters* Anyway, it was a great day!
And how was your first day at semester today, everybody!

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
Goal: An HD average in this semester, to make up for an abysmal effort last semester, and to not skip a single class all semester, because that fucked me over last time.

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread
Just dropped a unit because it had assumed knowledge which I wasn't told about, so sitting on 18cp and set for an interesting semester.
