Title: UoM Meet Up 2014 - TODAY (THURSDAY)
Post by: simpak on February 11, 2014, 12:08:09 am
You guys legit had about 3 or so hours to post if you were offended with a choice between either Thursday or Friday, and only one person did, and they said they can't do Friday.  SO, the official date will be:

THURSDAY THE 20TH OF FEBRUARY

Where: meet at the Crepe place (Carte Crepes) then go to South Lawn!  If you are a Jaffy you can find it here http://cartecrepes.com.au/#locations.  It is between the John Medley building and South Lawn and close to Grattan St!

When: 12pm meeting time, undecided end time.  If you're going to be late, you can contact me, or find us on South Lawn (unless I post a change of plans in this thread on the day due to weather).

Contact: I don't wanna post my phone number in public ): if you don't have my number, PM me and I will give it to you! :)  Probably best to actually do this, just in case you get held up on the day because I doubt I will be very good at checking for new posts in this thread.

----

I love Facebook events so it seriously pains me to try and organise an event here.

BUT HERE GOES:

Hi, let's all meet up and bond over how great we are for going to the best uni ever/just being generally the best people ever/not going to Monash more specifically.  Yayyy.  SO...LET'S DO LUNCH!  Depending on how many people are interested in attending we could go somewhere on campus for lunch [to be decided on]...if too many people are interested, we might just meet in a public area/garden and purchase lunch from Union House and hang out away from a proper eating establishment with more room to accommodate.

El2012 suggested crepes which is a nice idea I think!  We could just get them then eat on South Lawn!

The meet will, despite tradition, not be in O-Week because I am organising it and I have classes in O-Week.  So, I propose sometime next week but the exact day is up to you!  I'll only be able to come for ~1 hour but the running time is up to the rest of you!

Post below if you're interested in coming, post any ideas for a location if you have any and please vote in the poll and let me know what day works best for you!  If you can do multiple days please select all of the ones that you can do :) and if you definitely can't do a day but really want to come, maybe post below, so I can try to accommodate for you!  Please try to vote by Friday so that we can organise a time in advance.

PS: for jaffys, you are welcome to attend as well even though you haven't officially started or even entered O-Week!  For those of you that don't know me I am simpak and I would love to meet you all!

If it's not Thursday or Friday I can't come for more than 50 minutes (between 12:15 and 1:30) since I'm doing a full-day summer intensive subject from this Monday to next Thursday morning, but it would be nice to meet other people :) MORE INTERNET FRIENDS Y/Y
South Lawn sounds like a nice place to eat crepes, and the heat wave has supposedly ended, so it wouldn't be ridiculously hot or anything.

Crepes and South Lawn sound fantastic. My Painting Techniques class, the introductory seminar of which I'm sitting at the moment and looking justifiably distracted/uncommitted within, ends next Tuesday. So Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next week is fine.

And yes, jaffies please come along and we'll butter you up before the hazing begins in o-week <3

Chances are low I'll be able to make it but if it starts at 12 or so on either Thurs or Fri I should be able to come for a short while.

Actually. I'm really interested in this! :D
I don't actually have Facebook so I appreciate you putting this AN.

Semester hasn't actually started but I've already been to campus for other things, subject advisors, text books etc. I'm sure I could make time for food.

I am jaffy but this will give me a good opportunity to ask questions about Uni. Currently shitting my pants over the whole ordeal soooooo...
Title: Re: UoM Meet Up 2014
Post by: simpak on February 11, 2014, 05:40:28 pm
Everyone is more than welcome to come.  It looks like Friday is winning at the moment!

For everyone who has said they won't be around until semester starts, feel free to organise something else within the semester in addition to this meet!  Unfortunately I can't move this one into the semester because my hours once semester starts will not be versatile at all and with classes it will become more difficult to find a time to suit even the vast majority of undergrads.

Damn, no chance of being during o-week simpak?

I guess I'll just see you around campus during the year anyway, I'll stand out with my fluro green bike helmet and my BMX. ;)

Yo I'll look out for ya!

Sorry BasicAcid, I have official Honours and can't slack off during the day, it's not O-Week for me, it's Week 1!

But as I said, you guys can definitely organise something that suits you in O-Week/during semester :)

It was very very very very  sad to see you disappear so soon :c I was mentally willing the elevator to stop working when you tried leaving, and it seemed to work.

Can someone who has everyone on Facebook like start a Facebook message so everyone can know who everyone who attended today is?

*Ballerina* looking @ u. r u even a real ballerina¿

LOL WHAT I HAVE LIKE 4 FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK. El2012 was sitting close to you with long brown hair (AND SKIN LIKE A PORCELAIN DOLL. CANNOT WAIT TO BE ALL IN YOUR BZNESS DURING GHS <3), LeviLamp has curly flaxen hair and looks like his German diploma, Anazergal was the cute Asian with olive skin (SO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE YOU IN THE FLESH BY THE WAY! And mad that we had to depart before I could interrogate you about psychology), Simpak has shiny hair with a fringe + red lipstick and wasn't wearing underpants-shorts, Russ is the person whose lap I was kind of sitting/nibbling on, you didn't meet lzxnl, and I didn't meet ~T unfortunately. And ^_^kawaii^_^ is pretty much what you'd expect from the username, she physically reminds me a bit of a woodland nymph

btw nat, i took the knitting with me.

Yeah, Russ and I just kind of stopped in the middle of a busy walkway at Melbourne Museum and gaped at the photo of a nearly complete scarf. It feels like you might start knitting a teacosy for the Taj Mahal or something next.

But what if it isn't a scarf?  What if it turns into a knitted vagina?

This post just set the bar impossibly high. Simpak won the thread, everybody can go home.
