Really easy to study law and have a life - as many have mentioned, far less contact hours in law than most other degrees - open book exams (at UNSW at least). still requires a fair bit of preparation, but certainly makes things easier - can be a lot of dense reading. but its not too bad...

agreed. sure ok- technically now there will be an end to conflict for at least some time- the Tigers have been defeated. and say the Tamil Tigers can't resurect themselves from this defeat, the situation returns in Sri Lanka to what is was before they emerged- sure there will be no violence...

oh yeah and to eradicate the Tamil Tigers and thus save these lives, the Sri Lanka government can kill 40,000 Tamil civilians wooo. thats not ethic cleansing, its just "collateral damage" hey? means justified :/

true, but many it would argue it was a lot more than "somewhat oppressing the Tamils" Tamils were, and continue to be denied many basic rights i agree that the LTTE are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and amongst the Tamil population many would disagree with their tactics...

no you.

I'm conflicted in my opinion. I believe that the Tamil people have been persecuted for generations, and if they are not going to be given equal treatment by the Sri Lankan government, they deserve the right to self determination. But how can they go about achieving either of these goals? The...

how do you define the Sri Lankan government/army as the "good guys" and the Tamil Tigers as the "bad guys"? I acknowledge that the Tamil Tigers have also done wrong, and am in no way condoning terrorism, however the Tamil people have been discriminated against and marginalised by the Sri Lankan...

yes yes they will and do- read my above post during the day over 18 year olds are generally their only choice though afternoons/weekends forget it- unless you are a very valued/good employee, "in" with management etc, they will give the occasional weekend if you ask for it/they desperately...

I"m 18 and am currently working at Maccas- also got the job at the end of the hsc with no work experience- its pretty good place to start, though I'm not sure why you would choose maccas if you already have work experience? they are generally very willing to take 18 yearolds- esp if you have...

^40+ kids doing ext doesn't mean they were all in the same class lol they'd be divided up in to classes of around 25 or less like any other subject i think there were around 45-50ish people doing ext 2 at my school last year who were split up into 3 classes. there were about 15 in my class...

Re: Premier's Awards...? I'm not too concerned about not attending the ceremony and all that- fine with just getting a certificate my mum is pretty pissed off though...i think she was like 50 times more excited by results than i was lol she wants to ring and complain or something :S I...

99.45 :) over the moon that i should get comm/law at unsw now i feel pretty lucky to have gotten that uai, considering extended periods of slacking for a lot of my subs - only subject i really consistently put all my effort into was 4u maths, which i guess payed off in the end

Speaking from experience you do NOT need to study insane hours ie 8 a night (unless of course you are last minute cramming before an assessment task) because you will BURN OUT.... aside from the fact that its completely unnecessary Just do all set homework- if you have good teachers this...

I'd really like to know the answer to that too- my marks are quite similar- UAI 99.45, umat 166 and then if i were to get an interview, taking into consideration i probably have about average/slightly interview/speaking skills how likely would I be to get in? (for both unsw and...

alot of people have been complaining about public schools- I feel pretty lucky that my schools grad stuff is pretty awesome even though we're public (selective) Monday: Most of the day taken up by "rehersals" for graduation dinner- ie how to walk up onto the stage to recieve a certificate :S...

Predicted UAI:99 Umat score raw: 166..... :( :( :( should have gone for a prep course and done some past papers... suprisingly did well in section 3 (or just lucky?), and I'm apparently a lot less empathetic than I thought I was..heh Umat percentile: 224 obviously no unsw first round...

When I'm studying for exams/writing a practice essay or something --> no music, because I need to focus. Also I don't need the music to focus, because the pressues on...sorta works both ways, if that makes sense but for more mundane tasks- writing notes, maths exercises etc, or just...

well I click "View your ticket here" and then a black page loads, I assume you saved as pdf after that right? I tried accessing it from my laptop as well, but as I suspected that didn't do anything, as both this computer and the laptop are running of the same internet connection.. I...
