| 650355 | 2008-03-18 02:21:00 | This may seem a trifle old-fashioned of me, but in my day, we "entertained" ourselves by doing some actual work - going to the library to study towards our degrees. But hey, those were probably decadent days... That is probably why the older generation is better prepared and more resourceful than the younger generation. |

| 650356 | 2008-03-18 02:27:00 | Yeah space invaders gets a little boring after a while, and pong too ;) Unfortunately we're not allowed alcohol on-campus (esp during classes etc) so yeah :-/ Well I was at the School of Architecture at Auckland. And right across the road, where the AUT Marae now is, was the Kiwi Tavern. So we didn't have to go far off campus. Of course, once we went, we had a tendency not to come back. Which might explain why I never graduated. So really, no one should take any advice from me .... |

| 650357 | 2008-03-18 02:30:00 | Began learning Java, the only thing I *dont* know yet in our first 3x classes this semester... Wrote additional course materials to assist the 70%+ of the other class who were struggling to grasp concepts (Only gave it to a few though, felt kinda bad doing it without the tutor knowing) Random question. Where you studying? |

| 650358 | 2008-03-18 02:31:00 | Ive already got a bit of experience, having worked in a Helpdesk for 4+ years, getting into a rather senior role also. We have a class that teaches professional skills, right now Im supposed to be learning about how to run a meeting. Run meetings countless times (And attended, both at work and in the church), know what the lecturer is saying, STILL listening, still giving the MOST feedback / input out of the whole class... still bored... Im sure it will get more interesting in the 2nd semester, and 2nd year no doubt :) |
