    Im freaking out here... Help ?

    What do you mean changing it tomorrow? The Main Round deadline closed a few days ago, whatever you put in will stay as you had it. Look, I just signed in and got this message: 'Currently you can only view your course preferences. Change of preference reopens at 9:00 PM (Sydney time) on...

    HPT Hazard Perception Test

    It's really not a hard test, nothing to be worried about. :p Infact, reading people's concerns and problems made me more anxious and paranoid - since I was trying to presume what would happen. The intersection ones are simple, don't go unless you can see the whole road ahead of you! It's...

    HECS isn't means-tested right? Everyone gets it right? If not, I'm fucked. HAHA.

    HSC plus problem :(

    There are enough spaces in the courses for HSC Plus applicants. Theoretically the real cutoff for the course should be 5 less than the actual one, due to HSC plus scheme. I remember there waa some SMH article awhile back saying the whole bonus points system just makes the courses seem more...

    car question.

    $15,990 drive away? Are you kidding me? HAHA. A tad overpriced perhaps. That's the last generation model, it only scored an "alright" 4 star ANCAP rating. You can easily get the latest model Mazda 2 (5 star ANCAP) for around your budget. You can even get the equilivant model in the latest...

    car question.

    I have a feeling that the Micra is going to age very quickly, given it's rather unique design. I agree with the near-new used car idea, I mean look at these for example. :p I was having a browse for a first car for myself as well. :) 2008 TOYOTA COROLLA LEVIN SX ZRE152R Private Cars For Sale...

    Speed Cameras

    Oh crap, so if you're gunning it to go through yellow, you might get a speeding ticket? WTF. Us P-platers have our licences suspended if we get one speeding ticket. >.< Although, I've never been caught for anything so far. That reminds me, in school zones with cameras, I end up spending more...

    Backpack or satchel/manbag for uni

    Ooh, i have a Volcom backpack, it's the only thing that can fit my laptop. The downside to Country Road bags is that if you don't have a lot of stuff in it, it's all limp and floppy, and then there's the shoulder problem again. D:

    Backpack or satchel/manbag for uni

    I had a black leathery satchel that I took to school in Year 12, but due to the amount of books (i.e, weight), it's not ideal, I think it made my shoulder lopsided. D: Looks like backpacks ftw!

    Laptops at university

    Are there certain subjects where laptops are a no-no? Like the majority of people writing or something. I wouldn't want to the only one tapping away in a whole lecture room of scribblers! D: Besides, my laptop keyboard is pretty loud. Stupid cheap design. :haha:

    Laptops at university

    Aw, mine's fairly new. :p I picked higher specs over portability. Would you look like a douche if you carried a separate laptop bag or something? - as opposed to stuffing it into your backpack. But if we do bring it, will it be more useful in lectures or tutes or only for your own study...

    Laptops at university

    Is having a large laptop a big problem? The one I have has a 16" screen and is kinda heavy. LOL. Will it be so much of a problem I will be better off buying a new laptop? Oh, and do you have to like bring it everyday or something?

    Blackhead reducing/removing products, or how do you rid of blackheads?

    I used that Clean & Clear Blackhead removing facial scrub. I mean I think I bought it by accident, I don't recall having blackheads. :p But then again I was using the product, so who knows. Did anyone notice the ad in this thread? :p

    Which famous person(s) have you seen/met?

    Mmm, not that I can recall, no.

    Which famous person(s) have you seen/met?

    The only person remotely famous that I met was Tom Williams, that guy from the holiday/travel show.

    uac offer - early and feburarry round

    I'm confused.. So say I get into my first preference in the Main round, and accept it, but then choose to rearrange my preferences, so does that mean I can have the chance to still get offers for all the other courses in subsequent rounds? So I'd still have the initial 1st preference which...

    What are your final UAC preferences?

    I was so paranoid I kept logging into stare at my preferences. But then the website lagged like hell and I couldn't get in at around 11:50. :p

    uac offer - early and feburarry round

    I thought that if you accept your first preference, you will no longer be eligible for future subsequent rounds. Here's the page from the UAC guide. (the blue shaded box) And sorry for blowing up the page. :p

    how do you achieve band 6's in the school certificate?

    You fluke it, like I did. :p But yeah, it doesn't really matter because they're not going to kick you out of HSC or something. Well unless you get like a score of 10, but then why bother going to school.
