Hi all, well it's that time of the year, when the dark side of the force begins to hold sway and clouds the coming months ahead till easter break with uni. For my part i've been out of uni for a year, lost contact with most of my uni mates and lost most of my mind. The prospect of uni is actually quite frightening, i tried to pick up a pen yesterday and start writing, then i looked at what i just penned and could barely understand what i just wrote. What have other peeps experienced going back to uni after a year of absense? What are people doing this year? For me it's arts/science, although the science side of my degree is really pissing me off, due to how it is taught and all of these newly imposed quotas where snotty nosed med students take my place cause they pay more and got 99+, i keep having to change my major and it's pissing me off. If only first year inorganic chem wasn't such a bunch of number crunching bollocks! In terms of what i'm looking forward to it's criminology- Drugs and Justice- hopefully it'll be obscene, dirty, filthy and immoral... oh yeah! I hope uni is better than when i left, it was so boring and uninspired except for some rare exceptions
 
yes its that time of year, i'm currently trying to complete an internet signup for my education subjects, so far its been 2 1/2 hours of trying to no avail, got to love uni, computers and internet signup, this is driving me nuts
 
I'm not that stressed about uni this semester, i'm enrolled in four units but i got confirmation today that one unit i've RPL'd for and another I've RCC'd for, which really takes the pressure off.
What worries me most is I'm working full time (and a fair bit of my work involves travel), trying desperatly to complete my Diploma in Frontline Management so I can teach it come next semester, and I have these two units to somehow find time for not to mention that semester starts first week of march, I'm away for two weeks in march and i have two assessments due in week five. I have four corporate training plans to come up with in in the next three weeks and my staff don't seem to be pulling their weight.
Ok so i'm really really stressed, I eat antacids like they're lollies and I'll be riddled with ulcers by the time i'm 25. *sigh*
 
im pretty keen on going back to uni this yr cos ive had a week off and im so bored lol although i have to be stong and cut the doofing out a fair bit :( nooooooooooooooo *screams and sits in a corner to console herself* :)
 
I'm actually looking forward to this year at uni.
I shold be graduating half way through the year, but cause uni's are beaurocratic fucks, I have to do 4 subjects over a year... oh well, may be better that way.
The part time status means that I have time to compliment my communication degree (majoring in research) with a job that may benefit what i am learning. Not only that, but I should have time to do well.
good luck to everyone :)
 
back to uni for my FINAL year,,, after piss farting around goin from full time to part time.. lets just hope i can do it :D
 
Yes Final Year... too bad ive been doing summer school since i left..
oh well ive been living 3 months in the space of 2 weeks... ouch it hurts it hurts
Good Luck
 
i'm starting bachelor of commerce at monash clayton this year...
are there many bluelighters studying at monash?? i would really love to meet up with you, i don't know anybody there !!! :(
 
Yup, after taking a year off, I'm also heading back into the fray, with what is likely to be a radically altered brain structure (ie mushy).
I'm also fairly worried about my cognitive capabilities after the excesses of 2002.
First lecture starts tomorrow at 9:30, 'Asia Pacific in the Global System'.
Oh and congrats Fetish Jester, welcome to the wonderful world of the inviolable deadline. Your knowledge of chemistry should prove invaluable in this field.
 
i've been going since 1995.
i'm exactly halfway thru my degree. i've had lots of time off.
it is pretty scary going back, i only did one unit last year (sem1) and this year i'm on restriction.. so the pressure's really on! - esp since i do it on top of full time work (payroll so a lot of times i cant take time off no matter how bad i need it, and my year end group certificates etc is the same time as exams).. and this year i have my first 3rd year units coming up
and to be honest, i've always found it really boring. i struggle to keep going, i'm only doing it cuz i know i should, its good for me etc.
but, after a good few years of going out every weekend, i'm actually happy to be re-orienting my priorities, so maybe i'll view it more favourably this time around. probably not.
 
am kinda looking forward to heading back to uni, but also dreading it at the same time...
this is partly because i have been doing work experience for my degree for the last 2 1/2 months and have 3 more weeks (including this one) to go, and then uni starts back. so i have no break between work and uni, and i miss O-week... but hey, i am sure i will cope some how...
am looking forward to catching up with some of my uni friends again which is good.
this is my final year of an engineering degree, and first semester is going to suck big fat donkey balls... i have my thesis to write as well as 5 other subjects, tutoring of second years, holding down a casual job and trying to fit in a social life...
its going to be really hectic, but i will relish the challenge... no not the relish that goes on sandwiches, thats just plain weird... heh :)
CB :)
 
Yeah, i wanna go back but i've gotten used to waking up late, going to work and doing nothing..
I just hope i can get into the swing of things again at uni. Not looking forward to the exams.. i haven't even started yet and already dreading it :(
 
Starting Science at melb and have no idea where the fuck my timetable is meant to be
i have this idea that i receive it on the 26th, during orientation or afterwards, but im starting to get nervous indeed
 
I'm starting a bachelor of applied science - psychology at Deakin in burwood. Does anyone else go there? Not too scared or nervous about starting, more looking forward to meeting new people and learning in an area I'm actually interested in, unlike school...
 
Im still in the business of learning to make Mobile phones/cars/toilet brushes/toasters ect so beautiful and wonderful that you cant possibly live with out them.....
B. Gross Consumerism/Marketing crap to the masses
...actually I'm doing Industrial Design...
any other UNSW students around??
 
I was enrolled to do Legal Studies, as a year long pre-course to Law.
This I was totally content in starting with the knowledge that one day it would make me rich, allow m to drive a flourescent green Porche that speaks like Nightrider, and I would be allowed to wear a tophat and monacle.
Now I had no interest in law itself and only wanted to go in due to the near guarantee of riches and wealth once completed.
After speaking to a wisened old Dutch man near the end of January he basically changed my perspective.
"You godda cheeange yar additoode maate"
Explaining to me how 40 years ago he studied up accounting and commerce, making himself quite wealthy but he has hated every single minute of it. Wasting his life away he looks back and sees nothing but a pointless life blown for the wrong reasons.
I might have had a few beers that night but that scared the fuck out of me. I did not want to be telling some 20 y/old the same story as him in a few decades time...
Attempted to change out of my course and switch to something that interests me (Marketing and Media) and would also tie in with my Diploma.
Alas it was too late and I was told to do Legal Studies for a year then transfer at the end.
Well frankly thousands of dollars in HECS fees, large amounts of cash in books, wasting all that time and energy....no way.
So I thought long and hard until eventually deciding that this year can be a bit of a personal-growth year. Started a small business with a couple of graduates from my Diploma of Interactive Multiemedia course I completed last year.
Aiming to get that off the ground, moving out and travelling around Asia at the end of the year then giving this Marketing degree a shot.
Ah well. At least I can still wear my top hat and monacle.
