Ah the golden days of not getting up. Wait, I still only get up at 10:30am on an early start day. And I haven’t been at uni for some weeks. Ah, that’s right. Damn those thesis writing students! ;)

I don’t think we even have Macs here, but as good as the PCs may be. You can look into those screens for more than 2 minutes.

I would say that college students are having more fun than non-college students, despite not knowing many non-college students, but you can see it from the look on their faces. That dull drudgery of spending more time coming to and from uni as time actually spent at uni on a certain day. It gives one a feeling of pity, but also one of strange arrogance.

I’m glad that this uni is fairly train-free, the closest stop being fairly far away. As a result everyone takes buses, which aren’t any closer to their set timetables, but at least there are alot more of them going along Anzac Pde.

Ah, but Ben. College students are looked down upon by non-College students as the scum of the earth. Just kidding. But seriously. Actually, I always assumed college students were having more fun than me.

You can compress two trains of passengers into one. Sadly however, the process is non-reversible.

Does the fact that all the PCs are being used and the Mac is not say anything about the relative merits of Macs and PCs?

Have they restored regular rush hour trains? Connex cancelled some of the express trains and unsurprisingly you can’t compress two trains of passengers into one.

College life solves most of those problems. Today I got up at 7:45 for a 9 o’clock tute, and still had time to do some last minute calc-problems. Furthermore, ‘going home’ for me involves a 10 minute walk, at most. My student card has a magnetic strip which opens the college door. On the downside, i’m stuck in sydney. which kinda sucks.
