Wait what did it go up to??? Am I in for a surprise when I get home or is this just false hope ;;

Yeah it did for me too. I think the energy supplement or w.e. it was was supposed to go through weekly starting last week or so, but it went up a few more dollars than that was supposed to account for.

my youth allowance went up by $7 and the clean energy thing is $7, so all up, $14 fortnightly. which isn't a huge deal, but it does cover a decent chunk of my electricity bill.

See that's what confused me a little, the past few times the basic rate went up for me it only went up by around 50 cents to $1, a $7 jump seemed a bit out of place

[scribble]

Yeah, mine's never gone up before. O.o
They increased the maximum fortnightly allowance so that would be why i guess. <3

I wish $14 covered a large chunk of my monthly electricity bill  ;-;

[scribble]

i meant fortnightly. How much is your electricity bill though?
D: i haven't paid electricity for this flat yet, so i'm not really sure what to expect. especially since my water is heated electrically now. D': my old flat was about 400 a quarter, split between three though. zzzzz

ooooohsnap. someones not afraid of getting on unimelb staff's bad side.
XD i had trisha for biol10004 and she was pretty okay;;;

[LeviLamp]

Have her for BIOL10001 and say she's okay after that. I doubt she will be so muddled up after this year's SES feedback, though - everyone I know complained. THEY CAN'T CHANGE MY MARK NOW ANYWAY. (I had her for BIOL10004 too and she was ok in that aside from saying 'mL' was incorrect and docking marks :T But she crocheted a really cool heart for our prac and was generally nice.)

[MelonBar]

i thought i escaped the clutches of downing but i'll prob have her for biol10004

[scribble]

getting her for 10004 is probably a good thing, she tells you exactly what you need to know to do well in prac assessments in the tutes.

[Dismounted]

I had Trisha for 10005 and it was... just bearable. A bit "tight" on marking compared with some other tutors.

And by a bit, I mean very. 

[scribble]

o.O trisha was super lenient with my assignment for 10004.

i think ALL the tutors were harsh markers for the 10005 assignment. they probably had a marking scheme to follow;;

[LeviLamp]

The tutors didn't mark most of them; when I appealed my mark I found out it was marked by a PhD student. Dawn then gave me an extra 2.25% o.o Trisha DID mark my BIOL10004 assignment, though.
