Man you should have seen it in the old days. You would go to dinner and have like three pages of replies
Claire that's awesome! What are you studying?Those photos are gorgeous!!!
Good luck guys with your studies!! I also just started studying and can sympathise with first module confusion but it'll be very much worth it in the end :3

(also goooo Ravenclaw!)
I find that happens a lot in any institution tbh - its really frustratingI'm very happy to have activity mostly because I will ramble if unchecked.
I hope the trip will be good, I kind of hate travelling alone but at least a group will mitigate it in that I won't be alone but I also won't be required to constantly be around someone else.
I hope everyone goes okay with studies! Mine was allegedly full time but a night class around my full time work hours, so I was miserable. Unfortunately my course also taught me far less than my job itself did (did love having to explain to people that places outside of Melbourne do, in fact, exist) but at least I got the piece of paper I needed. Hopefully yours are all far more useful!
honestly, preach lmaoI had to argue with them for like 15 of the 18 months as to why I should be able to do this in person part of the course remotely as I live 4 hours out of Melbourne and work full time, eventually after multiple emails and mixed answers I finally got a "yeah sure just make sure you save screenshots". The in person assessment took 5 minutes. For something I do daily at work anyway.
Don't you just love bureaucracy?
I feel like this is more often the case. You get the textbook theory of how things should work and then you actually do the work and are like 'ehhhhh doesn't quite work that way' because that's how it goes when you're working with a bunch of moving parts.Unfortunately my course also taught me far less than my job itself did
Ooh, I also had a 10 year break between studies (degree in 2010 and then back to school in 2020) and something is a good way to describe it But you eventually find a groove so you've all got this!I recently went back to study after ten years break and it's been...something

Mechanical Engineering! My manager is an engineer and has been encouraging me to get into it for a while. And I was like, well funnily enough, I do have an interestClaire that's awesome! What are you studying?
I don’t think I’d ever have guessed this but I’m so excited for you!This is not an exaggeration
Those were the days.... you know, the days when none of us had any responsibilities pwahaha

I have never studied beyond high school, so can relate. It's an abrupt transition, even studying remote/part time. But I'm really enjoying it. It just feels so surreal, for many reasons!! 16 year old me could never have imagined ;-;

Oooh I'm doing a law degree (just in my first year so I'm like a baby lol), if you ever do law we can nerd out about law similarities and differences between Australia and New Zealand. If that sounds fun to you, because it sounds fun to meI did learn some things to be fair, especially around things like accounts management, and it will probably help if I move back closer to the city (hopefully eventually, just can't afford to by myself). I mostly just had to do it to legally get to be a licenced practitioner, lol. I imagine if I do work up the courage to go do a law degree I'll end up with a similar experience!
Im not doing law, but i know tax law if you ever wanna nerd out on that? dont mind me i like being involvedOooh I'm doing a law degree (just in my first year so I'm like a baby lol), if you ever do law we can nerd out about law similarities and differences between Australia and New Zealand.

Ohh cool! I haven't learnt much about taxes yet but I would actually be interested to chat once I know a bit more. I don't think I learn about taxes until maybe second year so that might be a while lol. What's your favourite tax fact?Im not doing law, but i know tax law if you ever wanna nerd out on that? dont mind me i like being involved
(My mums a tax agent lol)
Exactly, it's never too late! I probably won't finish my degree until I'm at least mid-thirties so yeah, I feel that kind of 'am I too old?' but I just went for it. I honestly felt aimless for a long time until I decided that law might be for me, and I'm still not even sure it is, but it's the best thing I've come up with so far.I'd feel too old because I probably wouldn't even get the degree until I'm like, 40 at this point, but then again my dad didn't become a barrister until he was in his 60s so there's plenty of time. Easy to think it's too late to start things but it really isn't!
My personal favourite: Australian Tax Code, Section 165-55 involving the Goods and Services Tax:Ohh cool!
