^ lol

cessnock aint as bad as pple say

theres some absolute idiots, but it doesnt stop normal pple living there, or doing well there


At my school, there were 2 ATAR's in the 90's (mine the highest of the two) and then there was a massive drop off. The third highest ATAR was 79.

There were 37 pple in year 12.

That just shows u how shit my school was, but that it didnt stop me doin ok and bein able to get into B Biomed.


Question: does everyone in the world (except those who live in cessnock) call cessnock 'the nock' or 'necknock' ?

Can someone let me know how Biomed goes for them? (there seems to be some in here that are going for it) Because I'm thinking of going for that if I can't get into medicine at UNCLE

Im doin biomed.

After i finish it, im gonna look at workin in a pathology lab (most likely) or turn to HMRI.

Even if i do pathology, i still need to do something else, cos path lab workers dont earn that much.

I can do MBBS at sydney and become a doctor/pathologist

or i can do Master of Pharmacy at newcastle uni

or i can do the Master of Medical Science (Pathology) through distance at CSU after ive completed 2 years of path lab experience. That would help me become lab manager in the long run.

u could also do research, but i think pathology is more my cuppa tea.

LOL that will vanish when pple at uni start asking me where I come from.

My atar wasnt that good (92) but good enough to get the job done.

Ive never known anyone at kurri, but in cessnock we say that kurri pple have 3 heads.

Did ur mate go to mt view HS?

haha...just say you're from some country area like mulbring or kitchener or abernathy... they won't make the connection =P

oi, anything above 90 is awesome!

No no (never heard of mt view actually), my mate and I went to Avondale, in Cooranbong... lol, I think any hope of anonymity on these forums is gone now...

trains dont come to cessnock - only coal trains.

Gotta use the car, probly will take at least an hour to get to uni on peak hour (hexham and the shortland roundabout prolly).

Im really greatful that on most days i dont start uni till 12 o clock, so i get to sleep in :haha:. U would be the same - but weve got some late nights (7 i think)

Wouldnt u have to change trains at wickham or something? (considering u said u went to ps at cooranbong).

Ive looked at the timetable and im pretty keen to get fridays off (i wanna work - whever i finally get a job). Im gonna apply at some places 2moro.

If i do have fridays off, do u think they will have printoffable lecture notes online, or will the lecture be podcasted?
