    Being shortsighted....how worse can it get??

    I'm about 2ish and overall it doesn't affect me much for the most part. I hardly ever wear my glasses, which is fine for situations where I don't have to pay attention to detail. It can be troublesome though, I have trouble recognising faces beyond 10m, also need 'em in a classroom and socially...

    Ever been praised and 'scorned' at english? XD

    I swear that was my favourite line from Blade Runner. As far as I can recall, I've used that quote in exams a couple times.

    Thoughts on an ORT

    Some stuff relating to belonging: - the way the excerpt is written from the point of view of the 'Americans'. In this respect, you could see that from their perspective, the migrants are different, and don't really belong. I believe it would be an excellent text myself, mainly because you...

    atar or the old system (uai) whichdo you prefer?

    Yowch, bad luck dude. But as you say, there's nothing you can do about it, so it's not worth worrying about. :)

    best laptops under 2k?

    The XPS 16 is about 3kg, but that's for a 6-cell. All in all, not too bad imo.

    Male Dancers

    I'd imagine there aren't too many guys doing ballet. After all, there are feminine connotations pertaining with the activity itself. Don't get me wrong, I don't really see anything wrong with guys doing ballet. Out of curiosity OP, did you start doing ballet in your own will, or was it...

    Languages, anyone?

    Haha, my own family is Vietnamese and I can't speak at all. It makes family gatherings all the more awkward because haven't got a single clue what's going on around me.

    best laptops under 2k?

    No way. Asides from the lack of portability, desktops are cheaper, and better in pretty much every way. A decent gaming laptop is ridiculously overpriced, usually in excess of 2k, and they still aren't all that great. With $800-900, I'd probably be able to build a desktop that could match what a...

    Belonging - Related Text Suggestion?

    I'm surprised no-one's mentioned that until now. Best book ever, I can imagine there would be alot to write about belonging for that text.

    Laptops at university

    ahahah repped I'm pretty sure the shoulder bags look a bit like manbags. If you don't mind that look, then I'm sure it'd be fine. Or else you could just use a backpack as mel suggested. Iunno bout powerpoints in other unis, but UNSW has way too many in their library.

    University Quality

    I read somewhere that the UTS communication degree was more vocationally relevant than USYD's degree.

    Bachelor of Arts

    There are a few postgrad options. For example, if you were to do majors in language under your b.arts, it opens up options for postgraduate degrees in say, applied linguistics or in interpreting and translation. If language is your thing, this would be one thing you'd be able to do. There are...

    Laptops at university

    No-one says you have to bring a laptop. Since it's your laptop, you'll probably be able to tell for yourself if it's too heavy for you to bring around. That being said, laptops are fairly expensive, so unless yours is ancient or it's going to break your back, I'd say no.

    Laptops at university

    Also, make sure the laptop that you buy actually will last you for the day (perhaps 3-4 hours) if you don't have a constant power supply. Most of the smaller and cheaper ones do pretty alright at this, but there are some high-end power-sucking gaming laptops that tend to run out of power in...

    Laptops at university

    I would say 15" at a maximum if you want portability. imo, if you just wanted to use it for word processing and surfing the web, while carrying it around alot, probably get a 13", although I've heard of some people having trouble with multiple windows at once with sizes lower than this. Don't...

    HSC Topic Completion -- In School --

    For chemistry, my school didn't finish a subsection or two, so we ended up having trial exams without that content. For the HSC, we ended up having to learn that content ourselves. I'm pretty sure my teacher did her best to complete the entire syllabus but this was really just inevitable. Unlike...
