Apparently there are 60 places in the course,
But i'm not sure where I heard that from..

 

[Crosswinds]

Funny, I thought 60 too, not sure why though?? I'm sure i heard it somewhere...

 

[Aquawhite]

Wendybird's post said that there were 60 at the first residential... that's probably where haha.

I wonder if they've accepted as many this year.

 

[misspandoraa]

Hmm, yeah maybe.

I wonder when the first residentials are.
And you know how they say it's a two day thing.
Does it mean we actually stay there overnight?
Or is it just like, go there, go home, go there again?

No, you stay there overnight and board with other kids

I know I would want that. I live 5 1/2 hours north of Sydney (City Central) by car on a regular traffic day.

YOu would fly, and BOS reimburses you, I'm pretty sure.

Congrats to all who got in. I did cosmology, and it was an invaluable experience.

Really? ^_^ I have never been on a plane before ... >_>

yay

 

[misspandoraa]

Oh awesome, staying and boarding there.
I wonder how the accomodations like there

Wow, 5½ hours... your school is near where you live though, right Aquawhite?

 

[Aquawhite]

It's about 7 minutes in the car in the morning when there's a little traffic I guess. It's in the same town XD...

The traffic I speak of is of course highway motorists.

 

[misspandoraa]

Oh wow. What a journey will you be flying here then?

Hmm. I do wonder whats going to be in our January package.

Everything for the course.

AHEM! Michael came 1st in the State for Cosmology!

That's like the equivalent of Daniel Swain coming 1st for the now defunct Comparative Literature.

* that is, geniuses ending the course to wish it well in its afterlife.

Hey man. It was the best residential, except the professor beat us all

 

[jet]

So how do we get to the residentials, by plane? and do we go by ourselves or has the board of studies set up something for us?

In cosmo the cohort met at Central station and we bussed it to Coonabarabran for Res 1 and the retreat site for res 2. I'm not sure where philo goes.

 

[elmoateme]

Not sure where they met, but the residentials last year were held over a single weekend staying over saturday night with the option of staying there friday night to make things easier. Apparently they flew a kid in from Nimbin last year, with all costs paid.

Last year the mid january package included all the reading for the core modules. They give you the elective stuff later on.

No one had better drop out this year! Please don't let this be the last year of the distinction courses.

I spoke to someone from BOS about it. Things are happening to replace them, though the ideas which they had (quite excellent ones imho) haven't gone down too well with Uni's/

 

[Aquawhite]

I'm looking forward to meeting you all and my fresh new competition ^_^

Flame on.

 

[misspandoraa]

Haha, I think I'd be quite... intimidated by people there.

You'll get over it soon enough. I was intimidated too.
