i did 4u eng, 4u maths, physics, modern and history extn

i don't know whether i wish to practice as an engineer with a legal background (i.e end up in project management) or as a lawyer with engineering background (drafting contracts for qantas or the developing australian space industry)

but in first year we get to build a plane and fly it :)
i'd love to do the techinical side but i guess in looking into the future, having a law degree too would just increase my options.

The dean at usyd open day said to me "keep your options open"

And who knows, i may end up loving a law and become a full time lawyer at a firm somewhere

I think the building a plane thing is a stream elective, so unless you overload I don't think you do it...
PS See you in some space units:)

LMAO Can't be too many people doing Engineering/Law. I think I saw you (or heard you rather) in Carslaw while I had my head down filling out forms. :lol:

I really started to envy UNSW after 4hrs of following the coloured tape and waiting in lines. And it was less social then I thought, I just talked to people I was in the lines with but they had parents with them so I felt pretty weird. I dunno, I guess I expected some kind of lecture theatre where we're given an intro and some detailed instructions. :confused:

LOL how long did it take you?
Enrolment for me was 3 hrs.... guess it could've been worse (after reading about the excruciating engineering ordeal :p) Did anyone buy their books for Commerce yet? I only have the Law ones... :confused:

Nope, I forgot all about textbooks for Commerce. I'm hoping to get some off a friend of mine, but he's 3rd year so I'm not sure if he still has them around.

finally enrolled today
took like 4 hours again

cbf telling another whole story

but the abridged version is...
eng/law just fuks up their whole system
the computer was screwed, it wouldn't let them enroll me they had to call ppl, then they enrolled me but it wouldn't accept my subjects
then finally the acting dean, the manager and 3 of the lecturers teamed up and worked out how to get me into the system

go the engineers :)


moral.. don't do eng/law


plus they have one long line for everyone doing engineering...
then u finally get inside and lots of ppl are queued up for flexible first yr and civil and all the space guys are sitting their talking to no one

FUK PUBLIC SYSTEMS ARE STUPID
