I still don't understand why people go to lectures if they spend all of the lecture sleeping/on facebook. I mean, why not sleep in?!

I like to pretend to be a dedicated student that actually cares enough about the unit he's studying to attend the lecture. Nothing more to it, really.

I have a lecture/tute clash with ATS1325 and AFF1000. Long story short, I can skip the ATS1325 (Contemporary Worlds) lecture because it's recorded.
So I go onto Echo360 for ATS1325 (Contemporary worlds) and it isn't ATS1325, it's some subject called "Networking with Employers"....

Someone explain what the heck is happening?

Where are the shuttle buses from Clayton -> Caulfield?

Are they in the bus loop?


EDIT: Nevermind, I should stop being lazy and google.

"This service operates with two buses, runs consecutively in both directions and can be boarded at the first bus stop on the left entering the bus loop on Clayton campus and at the bus stop located on the Princes Highway (Dandenong Rd) outside Building H on Caulfield campus"

Myself and a few other students in the BusEco faculty did a Flash mob/Harlem Shake at orientation. Swag. That is all.

Lol I was sitting just behind that when it happened

[Devva[R]]

Haha, thats pretty cool.

i encountered the strangest person at uni today
i was at a bbq for the frisbee club just chilling and when most people wrere gone i was just waiting there in teh shade drnking water
this guy behind me mumbles something
i turn around, he's probably 50 or 30/did lots of meth
and im like 'sorry?'
so he mumbles 'mmmm na i was talking to her' and he points to a girl standing like 4m away not even facing him and clearly engaged in a separate convo
then he trails off and says 'no one ever listens'. I felt so awkward at this moment, I had no idea wtf to do, so i just unwillingly shoot the shit for a while. he was giving off weird vibes.
i ask him if he's in the club and he goes
'no, i just like the sport'
'... 20 years and i still can't get the trajectory right' and hes just facing the girl whilst saying this (she probably didn't even realise he was there, and to be honest i think he'd been standing behind me for at least 5-10 mins whilst i was talking to my friend who'd just left)
so i turned around and went forward a couple of meters forward to catch frisbees and i can hear him mumbling to himself for like 3mins
then i leave and meetup with some people at meeting point, go to matheson to borrow a book and finally arrive at hargrave maybe 30 mins later
im very casually studying/on my phone and sometime during i look up and i see him staring at me from behind.  I quickly avert all eye contact and look back down and immediately texted a couple of friends his aesthetic features so if i got raped/murdered they'd have some leads.
look up again and he's gone.
Strangest vibes, cannot explain.. Like he was a ghost or something.

If he was just fucking with me for lols, then god damn he succeeded. I've never felt that uncomfortable around someone before.

But seriously, if you feel uncomfortable at all on campus, let security know (9905 3059 from mobile).

Sometimes I create awkward encounters with randoms for fun, without making them feel threatened. It's easy if you focus on your body language and act nervous. In the end i'll just be like 'haha im just kidding' or whatever. I could easily take that guy in a fight, unless he'd have decided to syringe me, I didn't at all feel threatened by him, he was just really fkn weird.

and btw, who gave you my phone number?

I can vouch for this.

last year Yash was staring at some Korean guy just mirin the fact he was Korean then he went up to him and went "will you be my friend?"

ATS2143 seems like a good change from the amount of maths I am doing this semester

[eeps]

Needs a bump.

Haven't been to one of my tutes since week 1 or 2, turned up this week (being week 12). Tutor asks me "Who are you?"

Being a jaffy, I have not missed a single lab/tute/lecture... except for:

• All my STA1010 lectures, because they're awful
• Thursdays, which consist of 5 consecutive hours of lectures from 8am

I've learnt an important lesson about the structuring of timetables this semester.

All my STA1010 lectures, because they're awful

It's not the lectures that make it awful, it's the content. The lecturer is actually fairly alright, but well.. what can you do with that content exactly...

That's fair I guess. Though he comes across as someone who'd much rather be doing his own work/research than lecturing...

b^3, did you do MTH1020? Were the lectures useful, or was it just one of those "go to tutes, that's enough" units?
