    Course Transfer

    I think in Albury too how there is Thurgoona and Albury city campus it kinda breaks it up and makes there less of a social life. Plus they don't really have any on campus accomodation, which contributes to campus life. Albury is a nice place to live, and the courses at CSU Albury are good...

    Star City

    Yeah it is apparently an awesome job... I applied and got knocked back because they only wanted people that had no other committments :( Apparently working at star city is tops, there are heaps of staff perks, except you can't gamble in the casino.

    Course Transfer

    Albury is definately a better town than Wagga. Life in Albury would be pretty similar to Wagga. I actually read an article in the SMH the other day that said "Albury Wodonga is going through a renaissance".... my jaw dropped.... mostly because Albury was mentioned in the SMH!!!! I think...

    People with no fashion sense go to hell!!

    Get over it.... as long as people feel comfortable in what they are wearing and are happy, it is nobody elses business. Anyone that would get so hung up on shit like this (other people's fashion) need to go out and find themselves a life.

    Am I screwed up or do I just get hit on by weird people all the time?

    Ok, the responses thus far are making me sound less crazy. Yay. I think it is just the whole thing that everytime I get hit on the guy engages in freaky stalker like activity. So hence I was thinking maybe it was me or something.... I prefer guys who have confidence, but are not...
