Freaking uni textbooks. D:<
 
They are SO heavy and are SO expensive. >_> I tried looking for second hand ones but non are available at the second hand shops..

Anyway I just got two today and my arms nearly came off carrying them. =(

Is it worse than having 6 subjects crammed into one day? Every Monday I feel like collapsing due to lugging my bag around school after each session. T_T

It depends how thick your textbooks are. I use to think my maths textbook in high school is SO heavy but now that I think about it, that book is nothing. ;~;

Lawl, I only have one prescribed textbook this semester, which I haven't even bought yet.

But today I had 6 hours of uni straight from 11-5 :~:

6 hours is NUTTING! My friend has 8 hours straight! I think I've told you that...

I'm so happy I don't have uni next Wednesday. =D

Edit: I actually took a pic of all the textbooks I've bought this year.

Thankfully I don't have to bring them to uni everyday. God I'd die if that was the case, >_>!

Oh yea, my papermate kilometrico pen says hi.

I'm pretty sure everyone's thinking the same thing as me. You've hidden pr0n in those books haven't you?!

You do realise that you need top grades to get a decent job... Where are Biotechnicians needed anyway?

Lol, you don't need absolute top grades here. Not that I know of. Of course, it's better to get top grades to get into a job easier, but if you don't, you can do other things to get into the job you want. Top grades only way to get a job = big nono.

Biotechnicians are needed everywhere. All the food places, research labs, CSIRO etc etc.

My sister was doing Biomedical Science, but the jobs available at the time were slim and boring so she dropped the course. She was aiming for biotechie too I think, or something irrelevant.

Haha really? I guess it depends. At the moment, the Australian government wants more science people (or so I've heard from my friend) so I'm hoping by the time I graduate it wouldn't be completely difficult to find a job. I know my sister's friend who did the same course as me found a full time job the year after she graduated.

Just dont conduct any weird experiments. Don't make the same mistake that Dr. Frankenstein did.

EDIT: I just saw that with this post, my name title changed to "Zombie". What are the odds...?

Maybe it's a warning. Or not... Lol.

You should go out and buy BRAND new ones so you can resell them back to the school for money. :D

School buys new ones in bulk, so they get a discount anyway. So your idea won't work. :D

O-mie 08-17-2007 01:56 AM
