Oakie Doke Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I figure I can trade the old books in for new ones...... and then see if I use any of them (unlikely) Uni books cost too much, ours are 60 on average (which is cheap compared to others). $60? Are you talking about textbooks or readers/lab guides/lect note type things? My things printed by the uni are like $5-30, textbooks ... $150-200. Oh, you aussies and your accents. Everytime I hear them, I just get .I like it! LOL! Oh no, I sound like an idiot, because I am a horrible actor, so I talk in a stupid voice I am in such a movie-making mood now. Which video should I finally get around to editing? The one from my US trip in 2005 (lol) or the one I was meant to give to my grandpa last june? Am I the only one here who actually uses my textbooks? Blasphemy! (yes) Okay, fine, I admit it. The first week of uni, and maybe the second of the first semester I do the readings from the textbook, then give up, and do them at exams. The second semester I didn't buy any new books, and just borrowed from the library around exam times, or for essays. But I think all that counts as still not using them. Their all in practically brand new condition Tee hee, even when I do buy the textbook, and I do need it for an essay, I leave the essay so late that I am writing it in the library on the day it is due and still use the library's copies. Why must you rub everything in *bursts into fake tears* THE 18TH OF FEB *is jealous* *considers floating neon sign for school* I watched it, and left a comment I like the smell of new books Oh thank you *blushes* lollll Thanks for the comment Now I want to see your film! Yeah. A group of families (maybe 10-15) with musical kids get together every now and then (well this is only the second time) to give the kids a chance to perform in a non-competitive environment. Last time I did four songs but this time I haven't been bothered to prepare. Cool! What do you play again? LOL...ok Why do you have a boy symbol, btw? Because there aren't enough boys around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soangel Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Its about a flood that sweeps over london take a looksi Going to watch it at the weekend Hmm, looks interesting. If it comes out here, I'll check it out $60? Are you talking about textbooks or readers/lab guides/lect note type things? My things printed by the uni are like $5-30, textbooks ... $150-200. No, I mean the textbooks. Uni lect notes/readers are usually around $20, but go from 10-30. Textbooks, anything from $30-$100 *cough arts student remember* My most expensive book was $80 and I didn't buy it, because I thought that was too much (well I didn't buy any books that semester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Evening everyone <eats raw coffee to wake up> On that cue, I think it's time for me to go to bed. I'm a sleepy. Nighty night Cats is the main one which makes me sneeze, though I get hayfever as well.Then I'm allergic to most forms of metal, quite a few bath/shower products, some perfumes, cerain soaps, laundry powders and other such products Their all developed allergies, so I have to keep changing brands of all those items to stop an allergy forming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soangel Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have a form of contact dermatitis called allergen dermatitis. Its caused trouble for me since I've got it. My skin goes through calmer stages, and not so calm stages and then horrible stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soangel Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Lol, yes it is. *waits patiently* I see how it is. So your not only taking the laziest course, it's also the cheapest. Hey I switched to arts/education.... its about as lazy as Arts (at my uni at least), except now there's more chance of a career at the end of it, and I have to do placements each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweet-dreams Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Cool! What do you play again? The piano. Well that's my main instrument. I also sing a little (but try not to do it in public!) and I'm trying to teach myself the guitar. I'll be playing and singing 'Imagine' at the thing.

Kelzy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2EDtxEumFI That guys a douche... speaking of uni.. I had an appt with my work counsellor today.. I need to decide between 3 courses.. 1, Aged care 2, Hairdressing 3, Business admin.. the advantage to aged care is mum already works with alzheimers and dementia people.. the hairdressing thing is something I wanted to do when I was 17, but never happened.. I cut and dye my own hair cos I don't trust hairdressers (yet I want to be one:naughty:) .. and the business admin is computers and stuff that I can do without any probs.. grrr.. I can't decide.. The next best news is when I mentioned a Diploma of Theatre Arts, she convinced me to join up with an amateur theatre group instead.. and there's a few around here.. So tonight I'm checking out my options.. Wooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can play piano you can play the basics of guitar.. (that's how i learnt) notes wise, can you read guitar tabs yet? It's still A-G.. with #sharps.. getting your fingers to stretch over the frets isn't the easiest thing to do.. well, in my case it's hard because I'm double-jointed:naughty: But persevere cos guitar is fun.. how long until you have to perform Imagine?

The local gossipper (neighbour across the road) has contacts with one of the theatre groups so I might knock on her door.. although, then the whole street will know what I'm up to.. we did a pros and cons on each course and the hairdressing one is winning atm.. flexibility I have a cousin who does mobile hairdressing.. *makes note to sweet talk her* Anyway, yeah theatre group.. how cool.. I'm such a show off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickadee Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 And ask him if he has any interest in dating an american through the internet. Good health now? How was your party? Oh, you aussies and your accents. Everytime I hear them, I just get . I like it! Am I the only one here who actually uses my textbooks? I'm not at Uni anymore, but there was no way i would have passed if I hadn't used my textbooks!! Then again, we didn't have the internet back then so I had less choice but to use them. $60? Are you talking about textbooks or readers/lab guides/lect note type things? My things printed by the uni are like $5-30, textbooks ... $150-200. It's a bit over 15 years since I was there and ours were around $100 then for things like pathophys and went down in price from there. Aren't you studying vet science OD? That would explain expensive text books. If you can play piano you can play the basics of guitar.. (that's how i learnt) notes wise, can you read guitar tabs yet? It's still A-G.. with #sharps.. getting your fingers to stretch over the frets isn't the easiest thing to do.. well, in my case it's hard because I'm double-jointed:naughty: But persevere cos guitar is fun.. how long until you have to perform Imagine? This encouragement is good, cos i feel like I'm making hardly any headway with the guitar at the moment. It's killing my left hand. Question - what do you mean by guitar tabs?? my back hurts from trying to work out how to bloody play Grace Kelly.....the acoustic way (piano). Argh! I want longer fingers.............. I've got really short fingers. There is no way i can play the final chord in GK, my hands just can't do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your dedication to the project... my back hurts from trying to work out how to bloody play Grace Kelly.....the acoustic way (piano). Argh! I want longer fingers..............

So tonight I'm checking out my options.. Wooo business admin course will bore you 2 tears, but the beauty of tafe is if u are smarter than the majority of the ppl in the class (which happens a lot when its a youth allowance approved course) you can push through it pretty quick, and if u live somewhere where there is a lot of admin work or the tafe can hook u up with one its worth it. i did admin course in 2005 when i lived up north, i didnt find a job the whole yr i was there and when i finished the course the tafe found me and 2 other girls a job but i was already moving ( i didnt even get a look in once i moved here coz 100's apply for the admin jobs) and hairdressing is something u need to be prepared to work a lot of hrs for fairly small pay, but a hairdresser that listens and is good is rare , you could be that rare one ! as long as your prepared to do a couple of 12 hr shifts a wk. and there my 2 cents worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These sound interesting. I've got the sheet music and it's really different in parts to what i can hear Mika is playing. that's why I love the acoustic versions of the songs where you get to hear the piano and also why i love any footage that shows his hands while playing....
