Hiya everyone! As many of you will know, we have had a stall at this expo for the past couple of years and they have been a great success!
If you don't know yet, the VCE Expo is located at the Caulfield Race Course over four days from this Thursday (2nd) till Sunday!
For general information on the event head to: http://www.vceandcareers.com.au/
What will we have at our stall you ask?
We'll be there with hundreds of copies of the books (come and buy them off us!) and FREE CHOCOLATE. With our own logo on them! We might have a few additional freebies here and there over the course of the days!
In addition the books, you will also be able to purchase our UMAT packages.
Along with us will of course be our book authors for all of our subjects, our students ambassadors, some of the forum mods, and of course the ATARNotes executive.
In addition to all this we will even have a VCE Success seminar run by a heap of our past students on the Sunday, which is definitely something to get excited about!.
It's not to be missed! This seminar will be a great primer on how to approach VCE as a whole. The seminar room seats 450 people so we want as many people there as possible!
Cost to the event is only $10, and it's definitely worth it to get a hold of a heap of VCE Resources and freebies on the day!
There will also be book discounts for those who refer to this post available for the expo only!
-
OH WOW! This is so awesome. I wish you guys had a store back 3 years ago :( BUt its still cool that you guys have made it so far and can support the new students :) GOOD WORK

And maybe a little something something ;)
Nah just kidding...
....About the hug...

Nina did not inform me of this quantity.

Yeah bro! Come along so I can stroke your face.
Edit: At least, I think I am :S. Nina asked me to do something-something on Sunday that involved VCE success... I'm assuming this is it.
-
Wait, is this a specific seminar on the timetable? I can't seem to locate it.. ???

Furthermore, I will add you on Facebook and then make it seem like you have really fun friends by making posts on your timeline about how much fun we had in the city last week etc. Because let's face it, you're on ATAR Notes, and you're in VCE... You don't have any real friends posting on your wall.

Okay so that enwiabe does not murder me tomorrow - I was obviously joking about the 50% discount =_=

If anyone's wondering, Enwiabe is actually the kid in my display picture, (that's from his muck up day in '07... bit of a practical joke the mods have going on)

There are uni stalls, if you wanted to ask any questions.
I was in first year last year and I went. If nothing else, just raid the stalls ^-^

Yay. Second freebies raid of the year!

Do you they give out free stuff at the actual seminars? And do they give you bags or do I need to bring a suitcase or something?

I got a bag/satchel thing on entry to the expo last year

Looking at what I got from last year... tonnes of VCAA exams (too cheap to print them off), Neap revision thing for Chemistry (lecture), calendars (lecture) and Medentry booklet (lecture). I also got a bag as well as a copy of the Age when there too LOL
Although it varies from year to year as well as day to day (E.g Lectures) and places they give you stuff also vary like some give it from their stalls whilst others are from lectures :)

Well your ticket is valid for all four days so I see why not LOL (even if weekdays are primarily school groups)...

My friend was quite disappointed after he completed this challenge successfully. Nonetheless, thanks to everyone at the stall for their help, appreciate it :)

By the way guys - it's very important that if you're wondering which day you should come that you choose Sunday. Sunday is the best day for buying books. Especially if you buy it from Enwiabe (the guy in my avatar), because then you will be buying books from the owner!! I am also there one Sunday. So definitely go on Sunday and only buy your books on Sunday. And only from Enwiabe, or anyone that looks similar to Enwiabe.

So is the only advantage Enwiabe being there? Cuz I'm going on the Saturday but if it's worth I might go on the Sunday aswell.

enwiabe is there every day, as are all the admins (except David because we can't afford to fly him over from the US) =_= ignore brenden, he's probably off his face again
-

Woah what the hell - David is American?
he's probably off his face again
I am not, and I resent the implication! (read it pompously)
I'm there on Sunday and I'll give you kisses and cuddles.

They should cancel the entire event since I can't go.

I guess it varies person to person. Personally I found it to be pretty good since it taught me a few more things which I never would of thought about plus I found out a bit more about AN's Section Zero (like how it lasts for 2 years and that I should buy it on July 31st LOL)

And that was a pretty interesting seminar there scocliffe09 (I'm pretty sure it's you judging by your study scores on the slides LOL). Very insightful and helpful :)
-
I think the most useful thing I got from the expo, besides all the free candy, was the chem book I bought from your stall :)

It's useful in some ways more than others. Information and vce education wise there's brochures and signups for free packages etc. Some stuff you can get online but some discounts, packages were apparently exclusive at the expo. But Asian useful wise I got 8 kilograms of free stuff.
That ranged from the stuff like frisbees and stress balls to led lights and a beach ball lol. There was also free fortune cookies and bubble making things!! The seminars that I went to were pretty useless except for the English ones that David guy was pretty good.
The AN stall was kool.

Haha, I had a good time working at the ATARnotes stall. Thanks for the lunch, Dan/Nina! :D
-
Man, I just woke up be a use I went to bed at 5pm, because I have to wake up at 6am and walk to the station BECAUSE SOME FUCKING GENIUS DECIDED PAKENHAM TO OAKLEIGH NEEDED WORK DONE so there are replacement buses (and there are no buses from my house that run early enough to get to the station... Fuck you, Narre) but it will a be worth it if I can make bubbles.
-
WHERE
I can't remember the actual stall but you will recognize it because they have bubble machine making bubbles there lol. And if you ask they will give you bubbles!! It's the same place ppl got the face paint thing.

Man, I didn't know Nina was so good looking, hahah.
Bought some books from the stall. Got my face painted and got a stress ball. 'Twas a fun day :D
But where were the chocolates?

They had been consumed.
No one wanted to learn about warehouses which was slightly disappointing

Should of got a beach ball aswell. When I was acquiring the frisbee from the electoral stall or whatever there was an Asian lady beside the stall and when I was talking she was just staring at me and when I went for the frisbee she was just like "he just want da fwizbee" so I kinda just grabbed one and walked away immediately. And to get some lollies and a wrist band I had to seem interested in studying in Germany so that's was pretty awkward and funny.They had been consumed.
No surprise those chocolates were pretty good.

hahah yeah. it felt like i just couldn't get freebies without interacting with the respective stall members. hahaha. even though i wasn't interested in business, i pretended to so i could get lollies. except I couldn't get as much because they were guarding it.
I was still expecting the Freddos. Should've raided the warehouse. Grr.

The fortune cookies were pretty good considering it was the first time I have ever had them.
The NMIT stall had huge boxes full of food pens and notepads but I don't think it was for giving away but then again neither was the sharpies which I legit accidentally acquired.

All I saw was the guy with glasses who gave me my books, a guy referred to as Thushan with the spiky hair and you, oh and the guy at the Warehouse.
-

Wait. I think you might be the one who told me about ATARnotes although I already knew about it. Apparently you're not good at maths? -- a side comment one of the admins made, I think.
-
It was nice coming down and helping out at the stall today, I'm wondering if I spoke to any members on here. A few said they were on the forum but wouldn't give up their usernames :P

Ahah I think that was when I was struggling with adding up the costs of like 4 different study guides together in my head. I haven't done Maths in like 4 years, give me a break :P Calculator to the rescueeeee. And yeh, probably was me that gave that unnecessary spiel. Should've interrupted me!

who was the (possibly?) curry dude thats pretty tall who was there on saturday and had awesome hair

I don't get it, why didn't you guys just ask for names when you were back at the stall, instead of trying to figure it out after the fact?

I'm guessing it would be just tooo much effort for all the admins / mods to change their profile pictures to themselves?
Even for just one day.. or is the endless guess who more fun :P
-

Probably taiga. The only other two curry people there were myself and thushan, and I don't particularly have good hair

You...you realise you don't need 13 hours sleep?
Yeah my post was sort of misleading. I went to bed at 5pm because I hadn't slept for shit the night before that. 13 hours sleep is always pretty nice, though.
Nina is actually so gorgeous but she will not marry me. Why is this?
So many people came to the expo. Not one approached me for kisses or cuddles.

you didn't fucking bring the engagement rice that's why

Having so much sleep actually makes me more sleepy. Like I feel sleepy so I go to sleep then I wake up more sleepy loll.

I came and bought the english study guide! And my mum asked about the UMAT prep even though I have never ever had any intention of doing medicine and don't do any sciences *facepalm*

Was pretty awesome all round, didn't bump into too many members myself except for sach, and a couple others.
