    Yikes, that's pretty darn early. But at least you can skip it... My parents will kill me if I don't finish all of my classes in the morning, so my Wednesday and Thursday classes are all in the morning. And I can't skip 'em, because they're mostly tutorials. Darn it. And congrats on your 2800th...

    Congrats on getting through it! Also, I just noticed that you have FINS1613 planned for your second semester. Which day do you have your FINS1613 lecture? :o Just asking because it'd be cool to see someone else browsing BoS in lectures that I go to.

    Time to change password again

    Y'know, my high school did the exact same thing. I just changed the numbers (like adding an extra 1 until it reached 123456789, excluding letters) and it was all good.

    Thanks! Not sure how difficult that is, but I enjoy Commerce and the Arts, so I'm hoping that I'll do well in 'em. ;)

    Haha, I'd be too scared that I'd break the camera to properly use it. I haven't held a camera in that long. Really. Edit: Sorry, was looking at the MGMT1001 lecture. My FINS1613 lecture is on Monday arvo. That 2PM to 4PM class. No need to clear it out, I knew that from the start. It was...

    ...surprisingly enough, I'll be taking FINS1613 this semester. (That's not an invitation though. ;D) And you people and your cameras. I'll have you know, I don't have a camera. I use my iPhone or iPad to take my pictures. Yes, they're sucky quality pictures, but they're still pictures. (I...

    Does it count as racism if you hate your own blood/nationality? XD (Not me, my mom. I'm perfectly fine with Indonesia. My mom, who is Indonesian, has a problem with it. With the country, not the people.)

    You're right, but I had to ask my dad to get what it meant. (Though I can kind of understand even without his help. Televisi = television, nama = name.) Even though I'm Chinese-Indonesian, I can't speak Indonesian. My parents raised me as a native English speaker. They never taught me...

    I'm absolutely determined to get an internship. There's a lot of money being invested in my education, and my family's financial situation isn't looking too good, so I have to do well. I'm actually planning on achieving straight HDs for every course that I do - excluding that one mandatory...

    I'll definitely give the Politics minor a whirl first. ;) True, true. $5 isn't much. Just surprised that we have to pay at all. In my friends' universities, whenever a club wants to build revenue for an event, they'll have some sort of fundraising event and will urge their members to give some...

    To be honest, I'm rather iffy on the Politics minor. It is important to know each country's political system and how it affects their relations with other countries, but to be honest, I find the entire subject rather bland. I have some interest in it, but it's not a burning, fiery interest...

    You bet I possess a deep interest in some areas of the Arts. I adore learning about other countries and cultures, so a major in International Relations is perfect for me. If I also minor in Politics and take a Commerce major in Accounting or Finance (still deciding what Commerce major I should...

    And I bet you can learn Japanese independently, but many people still study Japanese Studies in university in order to get a job as a Japanese translator, simply because many translator jobs require proof of proficiency in some way or form. I also bet that you already have management skills, but...

    Er, okay? Wow, you have issues. I didn't specifically say that I didn't find any people pursuing a double degree in Commerce and Arts. I said that I didn't meet anyone pursuing any double degree at all. No need to start insulting me when I did absolutely nothing to you. Did I mention you or talk...

    *high five* Oh, if you can believe this, back in my old high school, high fives are banned. Basically, last year, a new principal took over. And this principal's a strict ass. "They" decided to raise the school's passing mark to 60% instead of 50%, decided to affiliate the school with a laptop...

    Yeah. Just graduated in February (international student, early graduation), so I decided to start my tertiary education earlier than the others in my year by heading off to Australia for university. Hence, a mid-year entry. And I'm studying a double degree in Commerce and Arts. Undecided major...

    Selling UNSW textbooks

    Hello, I'd like to ask: Does the ECON1101 - Microeconomics textbook come with the "Connect Plus" account? If it does, has it been used, or is it unused? Also, what edition is the book, and what is the ISBN number?

    What factors led you to study at past/current university?

    [I haven't started my degree yet, but I already got accepted into the university that I picked (UNSW), so I still count... right?] Prestige was definitely one factor that I considered. Even though I also believe that prestige is rather overrated, I do acknowledge that a university's prestige...
