You won't even have your two front teeth for Christmas if you say that.

Don't we Port supporters only have the 1 tooth?

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I've never really understood adults buying Christmas presents for each other. Buy for the kids no worries, nieces, nephews, God children etc but other grown ups? Wtyf?* It just seems such an absolute waste of time, energy and money. Now I'm far from a tight arse so it's not really a money thing at all but I'd much rather everyone chip in $200 each for the feast of all feasts and the piss up of all piss ups than spending all that ****ing time looking, buying, wrapping and unwrapping and discarding shit you will never use let alone never wanted.

















*(What the yuletide ****?)

I refuse to wrap anything.

I don't do cards.

Sorry gaiz.

 

[Relativity]

Why does a federal government run by lawyers ignore section 51 of the constitution and continually try and do things that they don't have the right to do - ie its the states' business not theirs and then either **** things up or never end up doing what they say they will - because they can't under the law and practical common sense.

Evidently because if you can get a headline saying that that is what you are going to do, then it is as good as done.

Except your words aaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight?

Just got my ATAR (University Entrance Rank thingy) and got 95. Which is good enough to get into pretty much everything bar a few engineering and the higher medicine courses.

 

[Peck]

Congrats. What course are you aiming for though? Do you need a folio or something?

 

[Stromageddon]

I wasn't aiming for anything in particular - just trying to get as high as I could possibly get. I had Optometry in mind, though, but I think I'm just fall a few points behind. :\

[Peck]

Ahh well, you can always work hard at uni to get into whatever you want later Good luck.

Optometry? If you want to see if it's for you, spend 8 hrs a day in a dark room and repeat the words "left or right" and "1 or 2". If you can get past that you'll do great

*I worked at an optometrist shop for 7 years and that was the biggest gripe.

Did you get it in the mail or check online? Might have to wake daughter up, get her to check mailbox. Although I am seriously doubting it is going to be impressive.....

I checked online, it's quite easy. But if for whatever reason you can't access it, it should come in the mail today.

Don't forget to call up the Uni she wants to go to (if she wants to go to one) and ask about bonus points. They can seriously improve an ATAR.

Eh, it's better (and pays more) than what I'm doing now, packing bags and having the same conversation 100 times a day. But having said that, I'll definitely reconsider.

I looked at the site to do that, but I seriously doubt she would know here login details.... You can see why i don't have high hopes....

Well she should know her SACE Number by heart, seeing as we wrote it on absolutely every piece of work. If you have any pieces of her work lying around, you may be able to do it yourself, her PIN should be her birthday DDMM unless she's changed it.

No worries, ta. No answer at home means she is still asleep.....

 

[Peck]

Don't worry about it too much Manureid! I had a mate get 40 something, which is awful, and he just went to NZ and got did a degree in natural medicine or some shit. Now he is doing IT at RMIT though, and will be just fine IMO.

 

[Oliver King]

I've had mates who didn't get the scores they wanted. But they worked hard through other courses (Art, Commerce, etc) and eventually got into what they wanted.

 

[manureid]

Tried her login, but didnt work...balls!

 

[tribey]

My shitty score still burns, but in hindsight doing it via correspondence without the Internet what did I exelpet?!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Oh god, inception horn makes everything so glorious.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I didn't even get a SACE.

I'm now 3/4 of the way through uni now and I've got a GPA of 6.0. School doesn't mean shit, and you will find that out pretty quickly as soon as you hit the real world. I worked for a bit then took the mature entry exam, it was ridiculously easy and I scored in the top few percentile so I had a very wide choice of courses to go with.

The best part was, working allowed me to set myself up and get proper world experience which then allowed me to approach my studies with maturity. A lot of people are very quick to throw away their studies because of terrible attitudes which have not been treated through hard work to put things into perspective. Also, having a stable job on your resume puts you ahead of a HUGE percentage of students, because most of them leave school and go straight to uni, then wonder why they can't get a job afterwards.

Thats similar to my story except for the bits about study and hard work and maturity.

Except for your mental lapse when selecting a football (soccer) team, we could be twins then!
