Howdy.

I should have suspected as much when the ATAR/UAI cut-off was lower than my first degree. Still, it's good to know I don't have much to worry about.

A pass average in any Bachelor's Degree is supposed to equate to an ATAR of 93.

While the cost for changing existing infrastructure, such as road signage, could run into the thousands of pounds, Mr Abbott said it would be money well spent.

That last bit got me

:lol: What on earth does that make my D average worth?

98 apparently. I'm not quite surely exactly what is which (haven't started uni yet).

Apparently that's the way its done in Queensland, probably the same in NSW, read it on a post on Whirlpool the other day.

Sweet Lord, and I was worried about getting in?

Should have heard her laugh when I expressed my concerns.

To quote her: "Darling, the only way I could see you not getting in would be if you were in jail for bein' an ax murderer".

What are you going to be studying?

Life is full of missed opportunities

So you buried the Axe or threw it Into the ocean?

Zomg, guys - I just beat The Last Of Us Remastered on PS4, and my life has changed forever. What an incredible piece of media.

 

[afinalsin666]

Couldn't get into the last of us. The controls felt a bit too shit, like you are just suggesting where to go instead of actually controlling it.

At first, I wasn't 100% into it; I'm not usually into survival horror games.

But the more I played, the more I loved the combat mechanics, the story and the acting.

I'm comfortable in saying it's the best game I have ever played, because it was tough, thought provoking and genuinely brutal in many ways.

It has a few minor flaws, but I would easily call it a masterpiece in gaming.

A mate asked me today what one of my biggest regrets was. It's a sign of a life pretty well lived that it was not nailing that s**tty cheerleader who threw herself at me (for God knows what reason) back in South Korea.

I was in the 'don't sleep with people you don't love' phase. Such a waste.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Give her a call.

 

[Misanthrope]

Give her a call.

She's since moved to the Middle East and started dating a wealthy American. My chance sailed when I chose old tail over new tail.
