yay I'll be at the mentor stall tomorrow come visit me! and bring that cat so I can say hello to it too! *loves animals* Another bit of advice I'm telling everyone to do is to draw up their degree plan for however many years they are at uni... quite a number of people are rocking up...

Michael should have won :( I seriously thought Laura or Kayne was going to go (Angela and Vincent never had a chance of winning, in all seriousness). Then Laura won? Crazy. I hated Laura's dress. I have no idea what the judges saw in it.

Any big lectures should be fine. I can't be the only mq student who's sat in on lectures at other unis with friends :p

^ do we make cheques out to 'macquarie university' still?

Yeah - red shirt, information booth? Very likely :)

or anyone doing a double degree. Far out, so many people doing double degrees and trying to overload first semester first year. I think it's crazy!

I don't know whether this is too late, but you really should contact the uni and the relevant acadmic advising numbers etc... At the end of the day, we're just students ourselves... half of us are still a tad confused on how our own degrees work, although fortunately a number of us have had...

The BA pre-enrollment session was today, as was Academic Advising (the ones that go through your timetable draft with you step-by-step). I believe BA enrollment - actual enrollment - is thursday?

congrats! :)

awesome, exactly $130? And I assume we make the cheques out to Macquarie University. I might get mine tomorrow :)

it has bitters in it. So it's like 0.1% alcoholic ;) (the real stuff from a bar, though - not the shop bought variety) Will try the pina colada! Another friend has recommended it to me. I don't mind "debate" so long as it's something more thought out than petty name-calling or unneccessary...

nah it was a bca :P I've been advising all my "people" to think very carefully before applying for more than 14cp, because I doubt they can handle the work. No, EE2 and ME2 is not equivalent to 15cp :P etc, etc.

:eek: you were there today? Mike, rob, ben and I were there today too! Personally I think days like this are extremely helpful, although it may not seem like it... soooo many people both on forums and at uni today had no idea what they were doing, no idea what units they had to do, etc...

really? wow I had a friend that wanted to do 15... she had to go through the full system and explain how she could handle the workload, etc etc... (she did this in second year)

eww Pantene Aside from people with super-fine hair who need the dimethicone to thicken it/weigh it down, I've never heard anyone sing it's praises. I love de Lorenzo and L'oreal Professional, although the latter is really quite expensive... the former has a product for dry hair (part of...

And how long till last year's ones expire? And without resorting to Tylenol, is there any other way to get rid of a heat-induced headache :( It's not as bad as it was before, but still uncomfortable :(

yeah. I know you don't want to hear about what's not recommended but I'll say it anyway because to not listen would be foolish :P Don't be fooled by the amount of contact hours... especially if you're a non-humanities type person (which is true for you) you will still be doing a hell of a lot...

HSC lingo --> uni lingo subjects --> courses, or "units" units --> credit points "You must have done this subject in Yr 11/prior to picking up this subject" --> pre-requisites Look at the handbook and look for your degree specifications. Look at the list of COMPULSARY units (normally...

what is this enrollment preparation thingo? I can't remember ever going to one... only the compulsary enrollment? Not sure if there'll be free parking, but I'll be on campus in *cringe* my fluro yellow mentor shirt helping out, so if you see me say hi :D (and if you already know my face...

Mentoring... I think it's really up to the individual. Personally, I had a great EE2 teacher and student support network, so I did fine without. I don't think it ever hurts to get a second opinion, but like with all things - remember that opinion is subjective! :) In terms of 'audience' I...
