We're all going on a... SUMMER HOLIDAY! (Chatter thread) (2 Viewers)

[townie]

i think i'm gonna have a 5-day week, fucking SUCKS

 

[tennille]

I worked from 6.30 till 5 yesterday.

Never again. Stupid customers and post-Christmas sales.

 

[grk_styl]

You too! I'll add that I hope everyone got some awesome presents - post them here!

(I'm so fucking bored, I can't wait for uni to start up again. Remind me again why the break is so long?)

I have to agree. I was sitting there at Christmas, after eating far too much food, and I realised that I want to go back to uni coz I'm sick of holidays lol 3.5 months is too much!

Thank God I'm doing summer school next week...as nerdy as that sounds. I go a bit crazy in the summer holidays. There's only so much u can work (without wanting to kill stupid customers), and there's only so much u can go out.

 

[stazi]

malfoy, get a 360 or a wii. boredom gone.

 

[stazi]

Stas m'dear, are you home yet?

 

[jhakka]

by the gay, you can now check out timetables for most subjects on the usyd timetable server:

Just tried to put mine together. A shame about the Monday classes, but they only go for the first 6 weeks anyway. Pretty happy with that.

 

[The_Apprentice]

Mine is looking sweet, also.

 

[stazi]

Stas m'dear, are you home yet?

yes, susan m'honey, have been for nearly 2 weeks

After my play around with the timetable thingy

I concluded that my week might up looking something like:


uni on monday, tuesday, wednesday and thursday

fridays fucking OFF

long weekend!!

but a hell of alot of fucking running around campus on thursdays.


the original sociology unit i wanted to do (SCLG2603 - sociology of health and illness) has the same lecture time and day as Sociological Theory (which is core) so i had to drop the fucking health one and pick up 'sociology of contemp media' CUNTS. I got a D @ UWS for psychology of health so the health one would have been good for me to do as i need to bring my gpa up

 

[scarybunny]

I'm hoping to get-
Monday, tuesday, wednesday mornings (so I can be available to work in the afternoon)
A longish day on thursday (and I made it so that I'm free for theatresports).
Fridays off.

I've invented a lovely timetable for myself and I'm going to those classes whether the timetable people like it or not.

This is all provided UAC lets me transfer to primary ed (but my UAI was like 10 points higher than the cutoff, and my marks this year were fair, so I'm taking it a given). So I won't have to deal with people giving me that look when I say I'm an arts student.

A bunch of people here do education, rigght? What's the deal with these wednesday school visits? How does it work?

 

[tennille]

Here's the timetable I prepared.

 

[ujuphleg]

Here's the timetable I prepared.

"Aaaaand here is MasterChef Tennille with one she prepared earlier..."

 

[Skeeta]

oh man my timetable is HORRID. Its 27 contact hours so far... WITHOUT MY CLINICAL DAYS!!!!!!

 

[lala2]

Sorry I've been away for about 2 weeks now from BOS--You can access timetables? And when and where do we get our diaries? I've just conveniently discovered that the 2006 diary runs out....today!

 

[tennille]

You can access the central timetable, not your personal timetable (which will be available during o week) . Basically, it just gives you the timetable for each individual subject. Everyone who posted up their timetable have prepared it themselves (like myself, the MasterChef ). You can access it under Myuni --> Mystudy --> Login to timetable unit --> UOS timetabling. Then you just type in the UOS code, and it should give you all the lectures/labs/tutes, etc.

You can also access it through this link, which Stas posted up earlier: http://web.timetable.usyd.edu.au/menu.jsp?siteMap=true

Damn, I can't avoid five-day week, a hazard of doing a science degree (sigh).
Couldn't decide whether to do physiology or microbiology, but looks like doing microbiology will totally screw up the timetable, resulting in 5-day 8:00 start and 4-day 5:00+ end.
If the department would let me into advanced physiology UOS, probably would go for that, but if they don't I will bear with Microbiology.

 

[tennille]

Don't you only need a WAM of 65 to do advanced physiology?

 

[sydneyphoenix]

Firstly dunno if WAM of 65 is SciWAM or the WAM over all the UOS, including electives from other faculties.
And they won't let you pre-enrol into advanced physiology straight away so I didn't pre-enrol for physiology at all. Not intending to do physiology at all if I do not do advanced.

A bunch of people here do education, rigght? What's the deal with these wednesday school visits? How does it work?

For Primary Education, you visit a school every wednesday for a few hours (or maybe all day) and you observe. For the first few weeks you mainly just observe, but sometimes the teacher can ask you to help out, participate, etc. It helps you get use to being in a classroom environment.

What degree have u been doing?

School visits? Since when? For what subject/semester?

I'm in secondary education and I've not heard of such a thing.

Us Secondary kids don't do school visits til 3rd year where we do our full-on prac.
