Cartographer? Do you work with Archaeologist? -zofro's journal on GeoSpat Sci

(1/10) > >>

zofromuxo:
The answer to the title is sadly no. But yes, it is a real quote said to a classmate of mine about what our course was about.

Anyway, I doubt this journal will fly and I’m honestly still getting used to ATARNotes. It been like 8-9 months, since I've used this account... I know there is actually a life outside of a computer ;).
I hope I don’t make some huge errors in terms of formatting and presentation. If I did please let me know and how to improve it, as like I said I’m a huge noob with ATARNotes.

But enough fluff, my name is zofromuxo. I finished VCE last year and currently studying Geospatial Science at RMIT university.
I’m loving my course and hope to show people how awesome this course is and get more people to join this or Surveying, particularly Surveying (not that surveying your most likely thinking of it is more like the image below
.
As there is a huge shortage for surveyors in the industry that is only going to get bigger, so if your worrying about a job at the end of your degree. It might be time to switch courses and join me and my fellow cohort on our epic journey on cursing Google Map for poor map design and jumping for joy at seeing a tripod with a Total station. 

Why am I doing this?

* I guess to give people an insight into a course not many people will hear or think about. We all know what law, teaching, arts and other common cited courses are. But Geospatial Science? What is that? I hope to break down myths and teach you all something
* I'm also doing this to improve my writing skills, as I’m sure if your still reading. You may have recognised that I have extremely poor grammar and punctuation (If any of my English teachers were reading this now, cue “Vietnam flashback” meme)
* I hope your still planning to read this journal and if you have any questions regarding my course, work being done, something Geography related or anything. I’m more than happy for you to ask and I’ll respond as soon as I can.
Also, if any of you mention that Google Maps is the best map in the world. I will forever harass you into changing that opinion. Seriously Google Maps isn’t the best map in the world. The is called Melways (Every Melbournian knows what I’m talking about, I hope… if not then I what have you been doing. This map is called the "bible" of maps and is a Melbourne icon, it put Melbourne on the map :P ).

Year 3: Any Geospatial Science students here?

Year 4: Wow your degree is useful for mapping out all those outbreaks! Don't you say?

Joseph41:
Yesssss this is the best. Seriously looking forward to reading your updates - thanks for starting this thread!

This is awesome!

My brother is actually doing his final year of Surveying at RMIT, and one of my best friends from high school is doing first year Surveying this year! Seems to be a pretty cool course. I honestly wouldn't have known that it even existed if my brother wasn't doing it, though!

Really looking forward to reading your updates :D

brenden:
This is fantastic, very much looking forward to hearing about this unique course.

That's fantastic to know and also a little scary. I do hope you don't tell your best friend about this thread,if they go to RMIT, it wouldn't be too hard to figure out who I am.
i'm sweating much like that gif now, I don't have mom's spaghetti either... please have mercy
