Haha can't believe there's no pens. I still have two highlighters left from first year haha.

i keep seeing posts itt from girls who seem to be alarmed at a lack of free penis.
and then i realise that i've misread the word 'pens'
and it all seems much less scandalous.

I think there's too much penis. Especially around the queer awareness stand.

I've become educated as to all the non-heterosexual genders. Surprised at the different classifications they have.

Genderfuck? wtf?

I sware to god(literally) those christian groups are getting skilled! I managed to flank a couple of them, walk down some stairs ducking in and out of people thinking im home free when im ambushed by 3 more of them? FUCK get the picture, we DONT want to join your religious groups and if we do we'll come to the religious centre which is there for a reason!

I think they've always done this. They plaster themselves all over an entrance so there's no escape. Personally I think this is a really shit tactic, and a great way to piss everyone off. Not a particularly good recruiting environment imo.

inside..?
which building?

Its in the brennan room near the shortland union and the cafeterior, accross from the gt bar. Walk in and first left and you will probably run into the table that are giving them away.


Personally i think the student planners are quite dissapointing this year. I find u-man dull and unimpressive. Even though last years still werent stunning, they were still better than this years.

I just had a really awkward day.

After the welcome speeches they left us at the McMullin courtyard to mingle for two hours. I'm bad with small talk at the best of times but today was shocking. This conversation went down at least 5 times:

Me: 'What do you like to do?'
Other student: 'Well I used to do X but I gave it up cause of school...'
Me: 'oh...'

Highwayman: At St Peters did you ever have the casual teacher Mr Kumar? HE'S IN MY YEAR :O

Fairly typical of freshman straight from High School tbh. I'm guessing it was setup by the 'Yellow shirt' mentor people.

Uni is a great place to develop your interpersonal skills. Head to the uni bars sometime and hit up some people for a game of pool/ask to join. Soft skills are what get you the connections, not how smart you are.

Did anyone attend the Law Facult sessions - and actually find them interesting/helpful??? The Law library guide looked promising...but due to some work committments I was a no-show .

 

[Will Shakespear]

i felt old walking around the uni yesterday

haha!

mr kumar was awesome and terrible at the same time.

i had totally forgot about him.
oh the memories

EDIT: and dont listen to chris. the real trick to socialising at uni is to work your way into the biggest clique in ur degree and then cling to ur place in it. fight tooth and nail! Then everybody will want to be ur friend and u can leech off the loner nerds for answers but have no need to maintain any friendships with them.
strength in numbers my friend.

I forgot about this tactic, probably because I befriended some talented students early on, and they are after a while you don't notice.

The key to succeeding in uni, imo, especially with Law, is getting the group where everyone adds something to each other. But, in order to get this group formed/join the group, you need to have the right approach. If you're a arrogant shit, or a retard that leeches off the group, they'll quickly work you out and cut you off if you don't contribute anything to the group.

So, i'll agree with half of what you said Matt. But I think the smart Law students tend to realise pretty quickly who is leeching and who is genuine. You could take the risk if you were that confident though, I guess.

I still stand by my main point that you need to know how to work the situation/develop the friendship.
