I'm so sorry to trivialise all your queries but I kinda read this thread and both sigh and cringe. I remember when I was a jaffy and was sooo keen to start uni. But seriously some of you guys are way way way too keen. I remember I picked my units right after the information day. Which is kinda what you're supposed to do, because you've kinda already made going to the information session redundant, coz they just tell you how to pick units and the structure of your course. As I remember, they had stalls outside with info sheets about each major and what units to pick to fullfill that major. Granted this is all info you can find online, which I'm sure yall have done. They hardly mark the roll at these things, so you could probably not go, as far as I know, and just speak to faculty later on if you've already picked your units
In terms of the enrollment day, I feel so old coz its all so hazy in my mind, but there was an info session at Robert Blackwood (for Arts anyway) and some random people, the dean and all came and talked to us, some other random people, then we all had sausages, decent stuff, then I think I got my ID done at student services? Which you can do really, whatever day you want in enrollment week.
THE INFO NO ONE GIVES YOU, BUT YOU WILL REGRET NOT HEARING IS BELOW
Speaking of which, here's the real goods you need, which you wont find anywhere. Nothing on the site or what Monash says will prepare you for this, so listen carefully. When you go to get your ID done, be aware that you will most likely be stuck with this photo for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Have your hair done decently, makeup not too excessively (girls). I'm sure others can add to these tips but seriously. Girls you dont need to get your arms out ready to tactfully place on your hip, nor do you need to pucker those heavily lipglossed/lipsticked lips. Make sure your face isnt too oily. HERE IS THE BIG ONE GALS. DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD. YOU WILL REGRET IT.
Smile gracefully, as you would expect to do were you to butter up some poor old lady INVIGILATING YOUR EXAMS. Because seriously, in regards to the head tilt, in my ID my head is almost like parallel to my shoulders, so in exams I find myself smiling and tilting my head for the poor old lady/man who comes to check my ID. And then I break my neck. Bless those invigilator souls though. Boys, dont do some cheesy ass smile as if you've just perved on every girl who just walked by (we all know you did, uni girls are hot granted, but subtlety is the key) brush your hair, wear a decent shirt. The biggest thing you need to prepare though, is when the student services attendant points this bug/leela like contraption at you, is to brace yourself, yes mofo's it is a webcam taking your ID picture. Dont express your shock too loudly, they'll laugh at you, like the madmen they are for subjecting us to an ID picture taken by a WEBCAM. Finally, dont bother having a cow at how your ID expires in 2016 even though you're doing a double degree. No one knows what happens there and what magical lottery determines what year your ID expires. I'm doing a single degree, which I should have finished by this year, yet it expires in 2015. Hmmmmm maybe it is magic, not gonna finish my degree this year, HOW DID THEY KNOW??!
ANYWHOO So cute, yall are.
