    My Restaurant Rules

    I know.... but the whole notion of the underdog is so ingrained in Australian culture, it's seriously quite annoying. Tall poppy syndrome once again perhaps? Perth is far from the underdog.... they have turned over half a million in two months. People can be so stupid. I think it was Simon...

    My Restaurant Rules

    I am so pissed off that Perth got through to the final two and Adelaide got kicked off... I feel so bad for Emily and Nick... Em was so upset. Why do the Australian public reward mediocrity (e.g. Shannon Noll) in reality TV shows??? Grrr. Perth sucks.

    terrific! aphrodite got evicted

    Why are they wearing their underpants on their heads? I only saw it because I am forced to watch the ads while watching other high quality shows such as American Idol lol.

    American Idol [FINAL THREE]

    Hopefully the Aussie Idol 2 song will be "Shut Up" Anyway, Fantasia deserves to win. If she doesn't it will be because people are racist. Diana is very good too, but I think Fantasia is better. Jasmine is good, but not in the same league as the other two.

    Usefulness of a specialised degree?

    I've had the exact same thoughts as you.... I'm doing a BA in Communications (Journalism) at UTS.... I worked my ass off to get in, the UAI was very high. But at the end of the day, I will just walk away with a BA..... But you've gotta put that aside and go for what you want!!! You can't...

    So..how do you get a band 6 in biology?

    I got 91 in Bio last year. My advice... when it comes to biology, KISS (Keep it simple stupid)... I am often overly wordy and it's best to say things clearly. Use the best biological terminology without going over the top trying to sound smart. Making a summary answering every dot point...

    Art in Communication

    vis comm is a different course, the digital media one would be media arts and production I think? I'm doing communications, but I do journalism. Basically, in the first year the degree involves lots of general stuff like media, cultural and historical subjects and the start of your...

    Leaving Home

    I had to move to go to uni. It's great, especially if you stay on on-campus type accomodation. You really get to be independent, you meet a lot of cool people and you have a lot of fun. The costs are quite huge, but the fact is you are spending that much on your HECS it doesn't make that...

    Is anyone a dance teacher?

    It's not my occupation, however I know a fair bit about it. You need to be a fairly high standard to teach dance. Are you classically trained? Have you done exams and to what level? The best way to get a job for starters would be to ask at your own dance school if they would be willing to...

    Money Smart
