Chances are, if you don't find the course you're doing interesting or motivating, you'll either fail and drop out, or press on and eventually graduate with a mediocre GPA, only to find yourself competing against the next guy/girl who graduated with his/her degree with distinction average for the...

Oh yes... There will be blood.

speaking from experience, walking into a lecture late is fine, so long as you find a seat in a swift and quiet manner. it might also be worth noting that some lecturers also go up in arms about OH&S and forbid you from sitting in the stair aisles so finding an actual seat to sit on is paramount...

^^^ All the stuff you need to know about O-week is here: What is the O Week Festival? - Get Started @ UOW Autumn session (which is when you show up to uni to learn shit) commences 2nd March. Session & Key Dates - Current Students @ UOW

sleep early, wake up early and cram early in the morning right up to the minute before walking into the exam venue. i usually have my study notes on loose leaf paper to make for easy disposal as i'm walking in.

if you haven't already, have you considered applying for an EdStart grant? http://www.uow.edu.au/student/services/SEDLO/EdStart/index.html

I'll try to break down the key concepts that you should become familiar with... Resting membrane potential of neuron (neural cell) - this when the neuron is in its "steady" state, no stimulus has activated it therefore there's no net movement of Na+ or K+ ions into or out of the neuron. If we...

78th person to demand Coldplay in Sydney :o Looks like we're gaining some momentum now...

QFT. If you go on to do chem subjects at uni, they're really pedantic about sig figs, and this is the method that they drill into our heads.

This reply may come a bit too late...but I'll give you a bit of an overview anyway. Basically, once an action potential has been triggered (once a stimulus causes the neuron to reach threshold potential of -55mV), all of the sodium ion channels on the neuron open, causing an influx of Na+ ions...

Jesus was a carpenter...which I guess is a field related to the flooring company . I'd go with the moneys at your dad's business and avoid racking up a HECS debt in the later years.

I had a feeling you'd mention the engineering faculty...they come across as a really laid back faculty, or so i'm lead to believe by my mates who do engineering and spend a pretty generous amount of their time at the uni bar and playing COD4 in the library.

Nice. Just out of curiosity, what degree was that for?
