I totally disagree with your point that being able to write well isn't important. The power of the written word should never be underestimated. While MS Word may fix up your spelling mistakes, it cannot improve the clarity of your written expression. There is a clear difference between what...

Gumal isn't worse than SUV if you are talking about on a room and apartment basis.... they are pretty much similar. The other UTS residences are worse though. Gumal isn't as big as SUV and doesn't have an outside area, that is the downside. It is basically like an apartment block. You...

Yeah their clothes are expensive, and they aren't very high quality materials in many cases.... but the reason why they can get away with that is because there isn't really much competition in the hip plus size clothes market.

Ah ROFL I remember those shirts!!!! I think my dad had one HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! Oh God I will have to remember to tease him about it next time I ring him.

I agree with asqy... even though my ranty article may seem to contradict, I think that the basics do need to be taught so students can get on to the harder stuff. I was lucky enough to be taught how to write essays well by my english teacher in year 11.... well enough so that I didn't have any...

Some of the letters are also interesting http://smh.com.au/news/letters/back-to-basics-line-is-too-simplistic-for-words/2005/08/15/1123958000710.html

There currently has been such a big debate about the best way to teach kids to read (Nelson advocates phonics) and also about the postmodern focus in high school English syllabuses. I'm interested in what people think about this. I have written a long ranty article with my views on...

In terms of overseas travel, I am really in to different cultures and history, so those two things make me want to go places. Maybe there needs to be a cool "sports" museum out there, kinda like powerhouse/questacon/AIS but all sports focused and something with hands on stuff. With sports...

We had ranked classes all the way through at my high school. It worked well for the people in the upper classes, but didn't benefit people in the lower classes, so they experimented with a few different things- like the top 3 classes were ranked, and the bottom 3-4 were just mixed, and that...

Chose UTS because they have a better journalism course. SUV is really nice, I actually worked there for a while at the start of the year in the servery. It's pretty similar in terms of room size and apartment size to Gumal, but it has more outdoor space, a lot more residents and some...

Hey has anyone read about this, it's even on wikipedia! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster http://www.venganza.org/index.htm

I chose mine (after much deliberation jumping around from pharmacy, speech pathology, liberal arts and everything in between) because I wanted to do an arts degree that had a vocational outcome of some sort, and I was interested in being a journalist because I enjoy writing. I don't regret my...

It was a well written and interesting tale, that's for sure. But it didn't really surprise me that much.... I remember when I moved to Sydney I was surprised a lot (by things like beggars, prostitutes in Kings Cross etc), and that has made me aware that there is this whole other world out...

The crystal ball wasn't on fire... it refracted the sun's rays on to the pile of laundry and caused it to catch alight.... just like how you can make fire with a magnifying glass and sunlight.

From ABC News: Psychic fails to predict crystal ball fire A French amateur psychic's powers of prediction are under sharp scrutiny after his crystal ball started an inferno that burnt out his flat. British newspaper The Times reports that the fortune-telling device caused a fire that...

Yeah the studio has a gas stove I think. I have air con in my apartment, but it isn't really powerful or anything. It's hard for me to say if the heat is tolerable or not because I am kind of used to the heat.... it depends on what kind of climate you are used to I guess. The 2 bed ones I...

I thought you just gave it to your tutor?

It depends on a variety of factors; -Quality of service expected. It is fine dining, or a "family restaurant", or a bistro... they all demand different types of service. -Kitchen staff- their personalities will play a big part in making your job tolerable or hellish. -Restaurant manager-...

The campus is TINY for UND Sydney!!!! Do you all know where it is.... you know St Benedict's Church on Broadway, basically it is the church which will still be used as a church, and there is one building behind it. Tiny! It backs on to UTS's Blackfriars campus. Here is another article...

All black, or white shirt black pants is a hospitality industry standard. That is probably the best thing. Black shoes as well.
