Random thoughts not worthy of a thread (Part I)

Aviation at swinburne althought the management stream because i want to get into ATC rather than piloting. I did well in all of my credit subjects but missed a 2 hour forum session that was rather innocuous. Seemingly to pass the unit i needed to attend that session so now i can't finish the course. It's complete bullshit because it was just a couple of lecturers talking about futuristic airports but its a mandatory thing to attend. I just don't see why it is that important.

And there's no special dispensation or anything you can get or you can't attend the forum in the future? It seems strange that they would go through so much effort only to not let you pass because you missed a 2 hour forum.

Not sure. Its description was (reading it yesterday) "no credit attached to this forum but compulsory for unit completion." The whole thing is farcial because i did well (this semester) without the forum anyway. I'm going to have to email the guy that runs the whole thing to see what i can do.

Good luck mate! Things move slow at Swinny - in my experience the admin has been piss poor.

Yeah, took me a week and a half to change a subject at the start of the year because i had already done more advanced maths at school than what was necessary for the course. Messy as

Roger should be our new mascot. How good would it be watching him crush buckets and disembowel opposition mascots during the pre-game? Make it happen Euge.

Been at war with itself for a long time T.T. Place has gone crazy. Gotta feel for for the majority of population just trying to get by, educate their kids and make a living. Will worsen if Trump gets in.

Gets scarier every day over there. You'd think they'd have to be trained snipers to coordinate and carry out that sort of thing.

Don't have to go far in the USA to find one of those to be fair.

educate their kids

If you want to see how scary that prospect is watch a doco called 'Waiting for Superman'.

Lots of kids in the US have no chance.

I'm over here now. The difference between the wealthy and poor is incredible. You drive through some areas that are 3rd world. It doesn't help that they are completely clueless about anything outside of the states.

Visited 92 and 2010.

Gap between haves and have nots huge...even considering the GFC at the time.

Dont underestimate Springsteen either on the USA of today. He made be perceived as '80''s and wealthy but his lyrics still bite the hard truth.

But anyway...visited Melbourne CBD lately?

Wtf is that re begging and homelessness.

The same. A growing gap between haves and have-nots. 'Trickle down economics' a load of bullshit.

" Trickle" down the operavtive word Kimbo.
Not " flow or flood " sadly.
