The teacher made it optional so I'm not going. Say hello to Vermont students since you're going Mao

I went to the first one last year. I remember that our little tute group was in some maths building, judging by the signs/posters in it

To be honest, it wasn't useful from my point of view and was just going over what you already know. However, an excursion is always good

do they provide lunch?

and math building! I can visit Neobeo/Ahmad xD

[cara.mel]

Nah, no free lunch/food last year.

That little KFC nearby doesn't do well when 100 kids swarm it.

It's also generally good to hear something from another person's point of view. Ie, the excursion can do you no harm

And probably about 1/3rd of everyone doing EL goes to this thing, so yeah. (that number is a rough guess, it'd very most likely be > 1/4 though. This is based on last year there were ~250 people on the day I was there, and it ran for 2 days)

hey, i'm going to both! i think i was the only one in my class that wanted to do the competition, but then i pressured my friend into doing it as well. sounds kind of lame to be honest, hahaha

haha my UMEP Linguistics lecturer at UniMelb (Dr. Rachel Nordlinger) was part of organising that competition..good luck!

I'm a Distance Ed EL student...so I should probably turn up to one of those Enrichment Days...but I'm too lazy lol

[kitty]

hiiiiii person who posted above me i'm a distance ed el student too!
is it killing you too?
ahhhhhhh i'm so bad at organisation.
but yeh. clearly the wrong thread for this but anyway.

[JL_91]

YES distance ed is absolutely killing me too, kitty! I have an excellent tutor for it who I see every week, but still, I can't believe the amount of work we're expected to hand in every week. I've done well on my SACs, but I'm way, way behind on my coursework!
