What are you all doing on summer break?

Seeing as summer is almost upon us, do tell ! :]
[plus we need new topics to help this forum along; we're too dead]


I'll most likely be working my butt off. I have a huuuuugggeeee need for cash 'cause I'm planning on going to London next year + buying myself a snazz video camera.
+ the hanging out with friends/family and all that jazz.

your turn

I neeeed a job soo badly!! Nobody ever calls though after i give in applications and stuff which sucks so badly!
I'd like to save up so i'll have money to go out heaps next year with friends and to gigs and stuff.

Apart from that i'll be hanging out with friends and family and my boyfriend. Hopefully i can go out with friends for new years eve!
I just got back from Melbourne yesterday so that was my 'summer holiday' although the weather there was terrible and not very summery at all. Cold, windy, rainy and it even hailed!

Oh wow London! How exciting!! Is it going to be your first time overseas?

Melbourne's shxt like that.
It's hot now. Tomorrow's meant to be 30+ or something. so whaccckk.

and nope I've been overseas once before. I went to Italy with the fam which was so many kinds of wonderful.

Oh great timing x.x Nice weather when i'm gone! Gosh.

Ohh that's cool I'd love to go to Italy and England.
I've been to Greece once which was amazing ^.^ I'd love to go there again.

Thats the same problem i've had...i only in the last week got a call back and i've been applying since august...but now i got the job as a delivery driver at dominos , its not as bad as it would seem having to deliver to randoms all night...which reminds me i need to go get ready for work

Aww lucky you. I couldn't get a delivery person job if i wanted to coz i still haven't gone for my L's even (and i'm 17 and a half years old :l)
So yeah i'm still looking for a job. And i still have no idea if i am going to get into uni so all this waiting for the next two rounds of offers is daunting.

This heat is driving me crazy! ><!

you didnt get a first round offer?
i got into my second preference i think it was ..
Ouch, no learners :S your going to have to do 120 hours...unless NSW has different learners rules and stuff which they probably do
the heats not too bad here i spose ...its livable

yeah rub it in -.-
I got a really bad UAI even though my exam results were fairly good so

And i'm not too fussed about my L's to be honest because i'm fine with catching the train and my boyfriend drives me places aswell. It isn't like having my license will do me any good anyway coz i don't have a car and i don't plan on getting one anytime soon.

i wasn'trubbin it in, just asking more curious
im assuming UAI is like an ENTER score... did pretty bad on that too, all of my subjects but 1 got scaled down which sucked and didnt help my ENTER.

hmm well that works then if you don't need to pay for a car and all the expenses (Petrol, insurance, registration, services) then why bother just go public transport

yeahh same with me about the scaling down on all subjects but one It really sucks. Well even if i don't get into uni i have other ways to get into what i want to do so yeah =]

yea it sucks, i lost like 14 or 15 points :S
maths ... down
engl ... down
legal ... down
IT ... down
accounting ... down
Politics ... up

oh well its good you have optins then good luck

Maths is the only one that went up for me
And even though most of my other marks were pretty good they weren't good enough so i got scaled down.
English, drama, ancient history got scaled down and greek stayed the same :l

yea thats how it works, my marks were decent, but in comparison to the rest of the state i must've been down so the marks followed that trend
