Slightly unrelated, but I hear that in the future they're going to try and 'unify' all the IT systems on campus... I think it was planned to come into effect mid-2008 but it will likely take longer. I know the Library IT staff mentioned wanting to make the regular comp labs password-access at...

it's 8:30pm, and I'm still having some issues writing the bridge to a song. The rest is done. Heck, the rest is even transposed one semitone up, and I've practiced enough that I can play it. I'm watching Youtube videos in the hope that it gets my creativity going :/ I don't quite understand why...

I've been running on about 5-6 hours of sleep a night (I really need 9-10) for the past few weeks, mostly for vocal studies. Ideally this only needs to go on for a week or two more, then I am done...! End note: Music students are insane. The courses are thrilling, but there's significant room...

It is absolutely only an EFS thing. A glimpse of my day in Humanities today: Paragraphs are indented, not double-spaced (unless intended for artistic effect), numbers under ten ALWAYS written out in letters not numbered (unless publishing company allows you to begin writing numerals from 20...

So now isn't a good time to ask if you want to provide live accompaniment next tuesday :p (going back to original key for now) I've just realised today that I may just have to completely revamp my major creative writing piece. I think some of my extra-curricular activities are just going to...

Actually already went into that (if in a slightly more practical/performance assessment perspective) a few weeks ago. I haven't quite hit burnout yet (so I hope) but I'm exhausted almost every day and am living off a very detailed schedule/list to make sure I get everything done. It's a...

Apparently they're fairly safe, and I think someone told me that the same security thingo on the comp labs is used for staff computers. That being said, I don't trust those labs with my credit card details. If I can't get to a 'secure' computer though, I'll run hijackthis on the computer and...

a) Why is it that after three and a bit years of uni, the prospect of assessments that have to be done on campus still have the power to make me shake with fear? Hand-in assessments are fine. But sit-down exams are scary, and performance exams are terrifying. (You'd think that after being at...

Ok. That is officially the funniest thing I've heard all day. :D

oh how interesting! I'm considering entering.

All hail the student feedback sheet. And any opportunity to provide student feedback, period. And if that doesn't work, all hail second year. Or third year. Or however many years it takes until you find the awesome teachers (even if it means becoming a professor yourself).

Old stage nickname I feel I've long outgrown actually, although some of my friends might disagree :/ Because you are freakin' lucky. Stop complaining, or I and all the other shaving/waxing/various-painful-methods-of-hair-removal girls on this planet might just have to kill you. :p No, just...

I miss WebCT. Technically the 'structure' of it is slightly easier, but things like the 'star' plain not working, and not being able to instantly view forum threads in proper 'thread' format like we have here is frustrating.

How to not fall asleep: Jump up and down, lots of mini goal-setting so you're motivated to continue working. Don't underestimate the power of motivation and inspiration! Q: What do you have for breakfast and how much time do you leave for breakfast? (I normally run out of time, surely there...

Sounds like your metabolism has slowed down. You can kick-start it again by eating small meals, and then exercising :) I don't really exercise much anymore aside from dance class, but I really should. I'm getting better at portion control and regular meals now, although they tend to be at...

I'm very curious as to what the uni is planning to be doing. I know they've been having a lot of talks. I just hope that they're good ones, and that we'll find out about everything very soon.

In terms of ideas, or what is actually realistically achievable?

My ballot paper arrived today! Tim Hendry was the one to get iLectures in MP3 format? God.

eStudent was in the computer labs for a few weeks at the beginning of semester (never ever in Student Central). Generally, they are the only 'service' to not really have any face-to-face support on campus throughout the year. You might be thinking of Transport Concessions... but they too have...

I wish I had more time. I really want to have a face-to-face chat with all the nominees and suss out what they're like and how they answer some of the questions I have. A common campus hour is a little scary from an administrative perspective but I can understand and appreciate where the idea...
