    2010 official "funny quirks of my day" thread.

    I haven't handed in an assignment to the shortland hub so I am not sure if it is the same room but you collect your assignments from the room with the cafe and computers and service desks. There is a touch screen computer near the entrance (next to the service desks) , just press "assignment...

    Sci-Fi

    I wouldn't say purist but I do have a small collection of sci fi books. My favourite sci fi novel would have to be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I just love the story and the humour in the novel. Yes, my personal favourite of his is "Do androids dream of electric sheep", really great...

    Quirk: guy sitting at the front of the lecture theatre today was picking his nose a lot, like he would spend a good 2-3 minutes with his finger up his nose while looking around the lecture theatre. If I saw her I would of wanted to poke her in the eyes also, fake glasses just seem like a weird...

    Got some free pancakes today out the front of the Shortland library, it was awesome but the line up was huge. Not really sure why they were making pancakes but there were also some stalls set up advertising the uni counselling service and advertising the forum. Oh, almost forgot, there was also...

    Yeah I'm the same. I like uni, but the assignments and exams can start to pile on and I find it hard to find some free time.

    So has everyone finished their mid semester exams? I had my last one yesterday, handed in an assignment today and I have no more assignments to do until next week :D . Overall I think I did ok, I just wish I had studied more but that was hard to do with so many assignments due in at the same time.

    would you let someone borrow your book?

    I only let people I trust borrow my expensive hard cover books. I will let anyone borrow my paperbacks since they aren't that expensive. I, however, have a rule that people can't borrow one of my books until I've finished reading it first. I just hate the idea that someone will be reading my...

    Transport around Newcastle

    Last semester, every Wednesday afternoon, there was an old lady on my bus who got on close to New Lambton and would sit at the front of the bus and tell the bus driver where to go and where to stop. I always found it really weird, I mean it was really unnecessary for her to do that (bus always...

    Getting your Ps - Driver Ability Road Test (DART)

    It all depends on what your tester decides. I didn't have to do a 3 point turn when I did my Ps test (I also didn't have to use a round a bout or do a 90 degree park or a hill start) and a friend of mine didn't have to do a reverse park when he got his Ps.

    Getting your Ps - Driver Ability Road Test (DART)

    Passed my test this morning, first go. Only had to do one reverse parallel park and drive around for 20 minutes, didn't have to do anything else (which was pretty awesome), and the tester said I did everything perfectly. They won't tell you that you have failed until after the exam is done.
