Title: The Official Thread of RL & the interwebs crossing streams: UoM VN Meet-up 2009
Post by: champorado on February 19, 2009, 11:32:21 am
Alright, so I haven't really thought this through yet, but I figured I should get this out there now since we're all probably gonna be busy once the semester starts.

Would anybody be interested? I mean, if it's only me and edmund, calling it a 'VN' meet-up would be a bit superfluous (then again, this being the internet, I can't even tell if he was being serious.. -_-).

So yeah, if you've got any suggestions or actually have even a sliver of interest, please post. I'll try to think of something when I get back. :)



Meet-up details.

Who?
Anybody, really. (Too lazy to check who actually said they were interested.)

What?
Um, not sure exactly. I'll be there to yell out my username and say hi and stuff. Nothing major, I guess. Just something you can do before you go off and catch your train or whatever you have to do.

Where?
System Garden. (E12 on yer maps)
(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg32/ilikecookiesandlove/eda841d5.jpg)
just pretend the '?' isn't there.

When?
Tuesday, 24 February 2009. ~3.05pm

Why?
Have no idea. The more familiar faces around uni, the better, I guess.

How?
Since nobody's actually going to read this..

That's what I was thinking. Either tuesday or wednesday, I think. The thing on tuesday finishes at 3, and I finish at 3.30 on wednesday, but that day might be different for everybody.

Will post some ideas later. Still recovering from the heat, atm.

What in god's name did you do with that!?

edmund, will they have all that stuff on tues/wed? Will that stuff still be available after that host program thing is finished? I suppose we can go on thursday and steal the clubs' showbags. That day isn't compulsory, so I dunno if people would want to go on another day.

Also, does anybody know a good meeting spot? Somewhere even the most navigationally challenged of us (ie. me) can find. The only place I know how to find is Rowden library. :(

AppleXY, I reckon you should make a monash meet-up thread as well. If this thing actually goes ahead, it'd be nice having a couple of familiar faces around uni. :)

edit:
Yep you found it  :D  WOW  :D
Finding it on a map, and finding it in real life are two totally different things. I remember when I was looking for that breadth expo thing on AAD. I walked around 3 sides of union house before I found it. xD

Good question. The booklet says "come with your host group to visit your student union" under the Union Day section, which implies yes (unless you dissolve once you get there)

After that is probably one of the best times, I think, as everyone will (should) be there.

also, with the course info sessions on wednesday, why does my one only go for an hour, while agriculture goes from 10-3?

I'll be there, but if my host group thing ends at 1.30, I don't really see why the rest of my group would want to stay with me..

Yeah, tuesday seems to be the best day. It's a compulsory day, and everybody has the same finishing time.

edmund, did you want the meeting place to be the garden or that alley?

monicak, what time would you like? if we can, i'd like to get as many vn'ers to come as possible. i should probably add a poll..
Tuesday: I am working from 6pm, so could stay for a "quick" meet-up. Wednesday: nothing planned. Thursday: volunteering from 1pm, so I'm probably "out" for that day. Friday: no plans.
So, I'm pretty flexible on the days. It's more the time that will determine whether I can come or not :)

I think we'd meet up at around 3.00-3.30 on tuesday. How long does it take you to get to work? I doubt we'd hang out for 3 hours. :D I mean, after the 2-hour mark, the novelty of meeting internet peoples would wear off, I would think. :P

lol edmund. my sarcasm detector, it's broke. :(

Hey, I'm socially awkward. hi5! (wait, were you calling yourself socially inept, or new? ???) Kind of why I'd like to have something happening. I don't think I could handle it if we were just there to talk.

It'd go something like this.

HAI GUYZ, I'M CHAMPORADO.

oh, i have to go toilet now..

holy shit! bob the builder! why was i not informed of this? let's go see that! :P

I'll put up the details in the OP sometime on the weekend, just in case anybody else has anything to say.

but we don't know what your name is :/

unless it is Champorado..?
I'd like to add, I've posted my name on here a bunch of times.

edmund, i'm too self-conscious to put up a pic of myself. :-[ if i recognise you, i'll just say hi, i guess.

I noticed some more Monday votes. I don't know if they were serious or not, but I don't think it's worth going an extra day just to say hi to people.

Hahaha this meet up is going to go OFF!
'What? Um, not sure exactly'

How are we going to identify ourselves? As in, what if there are lots of people at the 'System garden'?

:( It's not my fault. Nobody suggested any ideas. :(

Nick, there was a grand total of 13 votes, I don't think there are gonna be a bunch of people, lol. Or did you mean a bunch of non-VN people at the garden?

Hahah that gif is awesome.

Maybe we should preplan what we'd be wearing, like a red shirt or somethin'. Or I'll just yell out 'USERNAME USERNAME USERNAME' until someone pays me attention.
lol, if you yelled that out, i'd just say 'champorado, but what's yours?' xD

I think I've got a clean red shirt somewhere.. I guess I'll where that and my glasses.

Haha I dunno I was just being silly. I don't even own a red top so... But maybe we could all agree on something that would distinguish ourselves from the non-VN'ers so we won't have to walk around and weed people out. "Hi, do I know you?"

I used to only wear them in the classroom because outside I was familiar with where everything was at school. I don't know where anything is now, so I have to wear them all the time to read signs from a distance. They're quite decrepit, so if you see a dude wearing crooked glasses, it's probably me.

We should all wear fake moustaches. :P Edmund, since we all know what you look like, get there early, and I'll just stand next to you. :)

Oh, I've got it all planned out. First, we're gonna do one lap around campus. Then we're gonna run down swanston st. After that, we're gonna catch a tram from flinders st. to rod laver arena, where we're gonna watch some tennis. it's going to be AWESOME.

I wasn't being serious.. Our diaries have bowling coupons, but I don't think any of those places are in the city. So right now, we've got 'saying hi', and that's about it.

Seriously, if you've got an idea of an activity we can do, ANYTHING, spurt it out. If you want, we can form a conga line and walk around campus. ANYTHING.

If you find anything good, make sure to grab a couple of them. At the end of the day, we can swap. I've never been good at hunting down free stuff, so I'll probably miss out on a bunch, but hopefully I can find something that we can swap for.

Yeah, that's what I'm not too sure about. It says 10-3, but what if my group wants to separate before that? I guess we should leave it as it is, just to be safe.

I think I've figured out the vote-interest discrepancy. All the Monday votes are joke votes.

Jamison, are you talking about orientation, or this 'meet-up' thing? If the former, you're there to meet potential buddies who are doing your course (and can help you out with accounting homework, maybe.. i need all the help i can get :().

It's a great social event, but I won't remember half of the people I meet, and trivia/scavenger hunting makes me cringe just thinking about it. Besides, during course orientation on the 25th you get a better chance at meeting classmates anyway. ^_^

I'll try my best to catch up with you guys though.

By the way, on the 25th, does anyone else have a random gap between their lectures? From 12-1.30 I have basically nothing to attend..

To be honest, I don't know what a scavenger hunt is.

Yah, I got some gaps. I'm gonna fill mine with those optional lectures, though. Cos my name is at the start of the alphabet, I have to go to the early course session (10am). Then the course lunch is at 1pm. From 2-4 are my subject sessions (with a gap between 3-3:30). Username, why don't you go to 'talking across cultures' to waste some time.

egh. The host thing. I remember finishing at around 1:30pm because I was near the showbag thing for the Student Union on South Lawn and the people there giving them out were like to everyone "Sorry. You can't take one till 2pm". Bastards.
And I never went to the scavenger hunt thingy.

LOL they just give you a list of stuff to do, and that if you do it, you get X points. the tasks are normally pretty risque and sometimes plain illegal. one was "Take photo with midget whilst holding balloons".
Typically the later yrs will be organising the hunts. Some of the activities will involve performing semi-sexual acts on the later-yrs.

haha, edmund. reminds me of work experience preparations in year 10, when we had to share our heroes. some guy who liked basketball went 'the person i look up to is michael jordan.' we all just laughed and thought 'well, no shit.' we had some people who skipped a couple of grades, and also some asian girls in our year level. when we had our year level photo and they arranged us by height, i was at the back hanging out with them. how tall are you?

squance, don't. those things look.. painful.

/me runs away and hides   >:(

Is the scavenger hunt part of the host program, or the student union day? I know there's some overlap, but the host program is the only compulsory part of the day.

5'3"!? Osh, I'm not that short (5'7"-5'9" depending on what measure I use). Come on, man! You must have hope. I still do.. :( Most of the guys at my school were 5'10"+, so I felt pretty short. Most of the people in the city that I saw today looked taller than me, too.

No, nothing weird with us. I was the only one who bothered putting my username on a sticker. >:( Yesterday I saw a bunch of people running down elizabeth street, and then later on down monash road. They had yellow sheets on their chests. Does anybody know what was going on there?

Oops. I dont think I could make it to that since my Science lecture finishes at 12 and it's at the Asia Centre. I'd need rocket boots to get there on time. I might just go to the 'Getting the most out of lectures' one then, which allows me to just stay where I am. It's at the Asia Centre also, coordinates I-21 if anyone is interested.

Yeah I met a girl and then she knew like 21312209830 people so I was introduced to them. But I left after my last lecture though --> to La Trobe. I even swapped numbers with her! I'm climbing up the social ladder, watch out guys.

Yeah, I did. It was good to finally go to a uni where I could actually talk to people. That Arj Barker was so high, or something. lol

I didn't get to go to the bush dance today. :(

I went to a lecture from 4-5, and by the time I got there, they were taking down the signs advertising it cos it was all full (they changed it from 4:30 to 4:00 :().

She was okay. She made some Mandarin jokes (she learnt how to say 'is that to keep the rabbits out?' or something close to it, haha). The host dude was good, too. It was nice hearing somebody with a funnier voice than me (you can laugh at me tomorrow).

You had to sign up for a free .. thing. I think it was called Oak something-to-do-with-charity. Otherwise there was some other promotion which gave you a mini rubix cube, a metal pencil tin and some other weird gadgets.

I saw their site, and it mentioned monash's ASEAN club, so I assumed it was melbourne's equivalent of that and joined.

Is anybody going to that thing next friday?

To be honest, I thought I saw you on the tram in the morning. I wasn't a 100% sure, so I didn't say anything (for fear of looking like [more of] a weirdo). Since we both had to go somewhere, we didn't really get to talk. Hope you're having a good first week. ^^

SoLe!, it was kinda like this.
