Just saw a few people excited with the prospect of getting into the courses they were after at university.
Thought I'd start a thread about the exciting new things people will be getting into in the year 2005, for example, anyone moving to new places, starting new jobs, just left school ect.
What will you be doing this year 2005
To start things off,
Im awaiting the results of a recent interview in melbourne, should find out mid january
Start my Double Degree of Engineering/IT at CDU
Urgh the last 2/3 of my 3-Semester long project.
Umm 4th Year, Lots of Documentation, more electronics, more maths and a fair bit more Documentation.
6 month student exchange living in France, then starting my economics/arts dual degree in sem 2 @ University of Queensland.
Quite possibly moving to melb around the end of January..... but it is still un decided
My New Years revolution is to get a job *blushes*
My new years revolution is to go to NTU/CDU and Do a double degree plus PHD in Pimpology.
have been accepted into CDU. Doing a double degree in business/IT
My new years resolution? I plan to play lots of WoW :p

I'm planning on getting a bigger monitor, so that my new years resolution can be 1600x1200
*bdoomp doomp tish*

Going back to law fulltime at CDU, so I can finish it in 2 years. If I do that I can possibly finish a BCST at Sydney Uni after that.
Also I'm working at the NT News Classifieds now. Interesting work so far.

Will have to go to all the EVOs to compensate :)
Congratulations P-air. My resolution is to get back to the wieght I was when I moved to Darwin :)

Coolness, :D I'll probably be doing a Commerce/Law degree
I will be working a lot and saving lots of money so i can get out of Australia and goto the UK for an extended holiday...gonna be so cold!! So much better than the hot weather here!
Woot! Offers came out in Qld yesterday and I got the course I wanted. Alot of people did, cause there were 6000 less applicants this year. Stupid HECS goin up *grumbles*
I got accepted for law at queensland uni but plan to go to Canberra anyway so there will be one more vacancy in that course :D

Can you change back? UQ's St Lucia campus is much nicer than ANU's. Both courses are well-regarded, but UQ has a better student lifestyle and social scene.
plus, i think cow and whisthper go to ANU..... GO QLD!!!
You're a cruel, cruel, funny, cruel man.
Also I should have added that the UQ Liberal Club have their stuff well and truly together. They regularly recruit 4-500 members. On the other hand, ANULC is a national laughing stock. If student politics is your thing, UQ is a better choice.
UQ have a better lifestyle scene?
f**k me, i don't live on campus and i can vouch for how awesome ANU social life is, between the refectory every thurs/sat night, and the city, couldn't be happier
and i challenge UQ to beat our O week
I recognise that speaking for the honour of your varsity is to be expected, but I've seen a lot more campuses up close than most students. I've spent time at both UQ and ANU. I know that to you ANU is wild and over the top, but by Australian standards it's pretty middle of the road. UQ has a lot more students, a much nicer campus and frankly Brisbane leaves Canberra for dead on a lot of measures.
O-Week is wild everywhere (where O-Week is held, anyhow). The University of Sydney's is probably the best-funded and organised. Not many O-Weeks get Triple J presenters to broadcast live onsite, do they?
I should probably add that NTU should have merged with ANU. Bloody student union.
I think a new video card, LCD monitor and window for my thermaltake case is in order.

Uni of Canberra - StoneDay - had TripleJ live presenting...
Not that I went to that Uni, but I certainly went to that :)
LCD monitor is on its way
And video card after that
OD, stoneday or stonefest?
that's another reason to go...this year we had groove armada, butterfingers, 1200 techniques and a medley of other performers.
StoneDay - they have since turned it into a bigger event - read up on your history lad :)
http://www.stonefest.com.au/Pages/SF_History_mainpage.htm
I have seen the John Butler Trio, Lo-tel, Icecream Hands and Butterfingers front for an event for a college at Sydney University. Not for the University. A single college, with around 400 residents.
The Whitlams regularly play the Refrectory, as do other bands.
[edit: and Alex Lloyd for another college].
ffs
1 - I want to go to Canberra, not Brisbane (my sister has been at UQ for the last three years and does not seem that excited, plus most of my extended family live in the surrounding area :( .
2 - I don't go to see live bands very often and I don't listen to music much so I don't care about live bands in O-Week.
3 - I'm not interested in student unions and politics, I have enough bullshit in my life already.
4 - Canberra is cheaper than UQ (fees not going up) and the colleges are also cheaper.
5 - I've been offered a bursary the commerce faculty at ANU and have been offered a place at one of the colleges
My institution is bigger than your institution! :P
To make $50,000 per month before the end of 2005.
by bending names?
going down to adelaide.. drinking with dazza.... and big day out..
Quote from Wally:
ffs
Easy, boy, easy. You're entitled to your opinion. ANU is a fine university. I just felt UQ would have been a better choice if you had it.
Quote from 666:

No not entirely, but by building up web based businesses.
Raedon 9800 XT PE And more work :(

Hey, no worries. Congratulations on the placement. Putting aside comments about non-scholastic aspects of universities, ANU's law school has the enviable advantage that the High Court is only a few kms away.
Gf got accepted for her degree change from Electrical Engineering/Science to Adv. Science/Arts. (She had to reapply to UAC using her Year 12 scores rather than a switch at the university level)
The past week was more stressful than the first time she was awaiting her offer :|
