Nah that's Gerry Turcotte that you guys are talking about - Guy Davidson is one of the lecturers for ENGL120 (introduction to literature and screen studies) - Guy was pretty crap, but Gerry is/was awesome :)
I think part of the problem with parking this year is that they have parking inspectors monitoring how many people can be in the western carpark at once. (Are they still doing that this week?) It was better when we could drive around and around and chase people to their cars because at least...
Stephen Brown is an awesome history lecturer, he makes his lectures interesting by chatting about the most interesting parts and glossing over the major facts which he puts in the lecture notes. Also he's a great help when preparing for exams, basically telling you what exactly you need to study...
I managed to squish my timetable into 2 days so I'm happy.
Monday 11:30-4:30
Tuesday 11:30-6:30
Those of you doing HIST124 should enjoy it, I thought it was a really good subject - is Stephen Brown lecturing it again this session? He's really good
Sounds like Havianas are the best for avoiding blisters, so where do I get them (in wollongong)? Every other pair of thongs I've got have given me blisters like the original poster, so I wanna get my hands on some!
I got all my first preferences, after a scare where I thought I was going to have a tute and lecture overlapping with no choice in the matter, they opened up the tute I wanted after all.
I had a draft timetable ready as well, it saved time, and certainly took the stress out of the day. I felt quite prepared compared to my friends. I went alone, but I met up with friends when I got there. I don't think it took too long, maybe an hour or so?
I'm doing

I agree with this, you still have a chance of getting in. Then put a bachelor of arts as ur second preference because they'll probably accept you. The cut off last year was 81, but my friend got in with a UAI of 68.something. Then you can transfer to ur bachelor of teaching, or complete ur arts...
I'd say you still have a fairly good chance.. especially if you're a local because of the 3 point thing. Even if you're not, you could get in anyway, I got my first preference when my UAI was lower that what I needed
when I worked at hungry jacks as a 17 year old I was getting $9.91 an hour, but I think they've got payrises since then seeign as that was more than a year ago
