I did 14 units because I couldn't decide what to drop, but if I was doing it again I would only do 12... it was ok workload-wise until it got close to exam time (but doing a subject by distance when I have zero time-management skills may have added to that). I'd say do 12!

I got in! yay.

raspberries.

oh, I know I got into the uni as I deferred this year.. so it's just the accomodation I need to know about. but it seems that it's still too early to be worried yet? (I know there's the guarantee but I'm just worrying that I did something wrong in the process.. it'll probably be fine.)

I haven't had an accomodation offer yet and some of my friends have... is this really bad or am I just overly stressing?

I'm doing Arts (hoping to transfer into Arts- IR) and want to do French and Spanish. Is this possible/ advisable? Has anyone done two languages at uni?

animorphs was awesome! never liked goosebumps...

I'm doing arts. I deferred this year. hoping to get into B&G.

someone told me that you are not required to have your RSA to do bartending work in the ACT.. does anyone know if this is true?

Furbob: I work at a Baker's Delight and I just went in and handed in my resume to the manger, they got me to start the next day. They're pretty much always looking for casuals, we have a really high turnover rate...

ok, thanks. I'm put B&G as my first choice, Bruce as my second, so depending what happens there that will make a bit of a difference to how much money I have.. yeah, I figured textbooks were the biggest expense, and since I expect to have all my stuff from home that should be ok, just...

I'm driving my mum's car to and from work.. it's got third party insurance and is under her name and all... does this insurance cover me too? I don't want to buy insurance for me (if that's what should happen) since I'm moving away in a couple of months and don't want to pay for a whole year's...

could anyone give me a vague idea of how much money I'm going to need to have when I move to canberra? for textbooks etc, and anything else you can think of... and possibly before I get the chance to find a job.. what would be reasonable?

ok, thanks! and you're supposed to apply about a year before you want to go to allow them to do all the processing and stuff, right?

has anyone done this/ thought of doing it? how expensive is it? is it difficult to be accepted? where would you go?

I hated this book! I loved her others so tried to stick with it but couldnt be bothered.

the family seem really great, so down-to-earth and nice. they email me every day! the kids are boys, 4.5 and 7, and there will be a baby born in August. the parents are teachers.

I think STA travel are meant to have pretty good deals on round-the-world trips.

I don't think I'm getting ripped off, I think Germany just doesn't pay that well! I will definitely go to a different family if this one doesn't work out. I leave on the 19th of march.... really soon!

has anybody here tried/ know someone who has tried couchsurfing? it sounds like a good idea in theory, eg. cheap travel, getting to know people of the culture etc, but does it work? is it safe?
