Mine is alright still finish super early but I guess that’s good in away as it forces me to be more organised.

So bored of reading my own essay. I don't understand how tutors would be willing to mark these :blink2:

Any bets for when peak hour will now run from?
Considering Epping road is already chockers at the times you want to arrive or leave Uni, I just don't see how the buses are gonna sail through in any reasonable time; Tuesday morning will be interesting.

Anyone else got university tomorrow? I wonder how earlier people are going to leave.
I'm thinking that one should expect at least an extra 20-30 minutes travel time to be added to most journeys. I know tnsw suggests 10 minutes extra but if you have early classes why risk it?

So I went to university today, 9 am class as usual. I walked alongside Wally's Walk... and found it emptier than usual. 2 hours later, there weren't bustling crowds or huge gatherings. I left early for uni and getting there was a breeze. Still, this is only the first day.

Day 5 of the no train line situation. Lots of police (no jaywalking!) and heaps of excess transport people.

How was everyone's first week back at University?

Are people who previously caught the train coping with the new buses?
