If you make the first move, more than likely other people will be welcoming enough to talk to you and eventually be your friend

Orientation was good! Once I was with my mentor and group everything went smoothly. It was just at the library where it was a bit hectic and confusing. Plus at the beginning different mentors told me to do different things and go different places, which was also confusing...and tiring. But...

Well I know your situation is very depressing. It feels like no one will be your friend right? wrong! there are heaps of ways to find people to talk to! You can join societies, groups etc. There should be plenty in UNSW! and also remember, that you should NOT always expect people to come to you...

Never said that. Please read the above posts (if you can) lol. Oh.... And turn that frown upside down, we should be friends :)

very helpful! thanks :)

Look in all honesty, I was just trying to start conversation. But inevitably every post becomes a debate.

Look, the conversation started with me and my 'expectations' on university lectures. You keep on reciting and stressing the same points over again, and I have already admitted you were right- that indeed some lecturers have little tolerance to texting etc. For the sake of conversation, I was...

YES! this is exactly what I mean! Of course we're all human beings. We should understand that we all have issues and some of them may inevitably interfere with school and work. A lecturer/tutor who is understanding like this is what 'I' personally expected for what I define as an 'adult...

oh thankyou!

Its as if one cannot even scratch their head or accidentally drop something or else they'll miss an important point. I should point out that even If I did start texting (chances being low) and I DID miss an important point, I would actually do the smart thing and most likely self study. And...

You're only looking at the teacher side of things. I'm sure that if I gave a good reason they would most probably accept it. And i've stated a few times already that I would not touch my mobile phone for any purposes considering that its always off inside classes. But for those who DO turn it...

If I seriously approach you guys at school...would you reply to me the way you do now? Cause seriously I don't know why your tone is so insulting and judgemental. How would you know i'm that type of person to go on facebook? I just stated I'm very respectful and would not loudly talk/ disrupt...

Trust me, my culture is very strict with 'respecting "superiors"'....lol And I myself am very respectful. But sorry, if I'm having family problems and somebody texts me I won't hesitate..

yeah I don't understand this!!! Like as long as we're not disturbing anyone I don't see why it is this way especially in university...

Oooh okay. Sorry for my ignorance, but if i don't want to be a barrister, but rather a solicitor OR another law related 'office' person...do i still have to do PLT?

Yeah I agree with you now that we have distinguished what a 'conversation' is. Oh and just to put it out there, I would never talk when a teacher is talking. Not only am I rather shy but yeah it is rude. Academics or no academics, all lecturers should be respectfully treated, equally. But yes...

I think it should take me about 1.5 hours --" *sigh* WHY?!

Maybe some people feel comfortable being with people physically similar to them? You know, kind of seeing you in someone else. Therefore its easier for you to be acquainted with them and find things in common with them. That...or he's just curious. :)

Lol I knew someone was going to pick this out... But yeah what I mean by an 'adult' environment is to have the liberty to at least open your mouth to ask a question to someone next to you quietly. Not to have to be singled out for merely asking a question. Of course you are not going to be...

Is the OneID the same as the student email?
