Heh, I really should try some beans other than Merlo, but after a brief foray into Illy and some other similar brands, I keep going back to Merlo. Ah well!

perhaps we need to organise a thread visit to campos

for no other reason than most of us are sick coffee puppies!!!!!

I swear the uni doesnt want me to do that course. I sent the school coordinator an email about the one that was full yesterday and she said they had found a larger room and it would be showing as open today. So i checked it just before, the lecture time and room has sure enough changed, but it is still full.

I sent the woman another email.

And as i was doing that, another one of my core courses changed from open to full...

The classes do fill up very quickly. Especially the ones in the first year.
Don't get discouraged though.
If it's a standard lecture theatre setup where you basically just sit and listen you should have no problem in just showing up. If you're referring to more of a tutorial-type arrangement then I would still do the same thing (i.e. just show up to one) if you haven't managed to secure a place. Particularly in the first year, there will always be people who have signed up to a certain time but pull out or simply never show up. (I know, because it was me )

But i still have to enroll in those classes to make it a full time study load. And with them being full, it wont let me

I must say, I didn't have any of those issues at UQ. I guess that's the difference between UQ and Griffith...

It doesnt surprise me. I would have killed to be going to UQ or QUT. Or at least the Queensland College of Art...

Feng, this is what you should have done for 5-2's bday the other week.

To get to uni I would usually take the train to Toowong and walk to the campus from the station. Quite a number of times I would make that journey, even at 6 or so in the morning for an 8am lecture, arrive at the appropriate building about a half hour early, take 5 to 10 minutes to decide I really don't want to be waiting around for this, and then simply stand up and head home.

And yes, I'm still waiting on 1.3Bee's rival mascot

Ah, right. Sorry about that. I've forgotten a lot about uni - not unintentionally either. That's a problem then.
Definitely give the coordinator a ring and get her to straighten it out. I wouldn't rely too much on getting balls rolling through email communication at uni. But that's just my experience though.

I remember someone telling me that QUT is the university for the real world. UQ is for the dream world. And Griffith for the welfare state.

I was by no means a conscientious uni student but, based on friends' experiences at both and my own, I would easily pick QUT over UQ. Probably even Griffith. But then again, I would now avoid universities all together.
