Ok... Its been a couple of months since my last post.
Sorry I've been quite busy with Uni. Attending classes and spending long hours in the library studying doing what people normally do in those sorts of places. I think they call it learning. Yeah Right! For a matter of fact I've been doing what any other normal Uni student has been doing. When I say normal, what i actually mean is the 25% of Uni students out there, who go to Uni to make the most of it. You know? To have fun :) . I mean COME ON. Give me a break. I'm a Uni student for God's sake. If I don't, then who else will? My point exactly. See im taking it for the team. You should actually be thank me...(joking)
Well, with my classes settling down and getting into the routine of WORK, STUDY and PARTY, I have finally managed to set aside some time to update this blog with this post. Yeah, I've been Slacking Off. I know. I know.. blah blah blah
BUT ,I will be updating this blog regularly from next week onwards. Starting Monday the 16th September. So stick around a see what happens...

3 Things You Must Know Before Classes Start
Before you get all caught in the hype of O Week or Re O Week, seriously,there are 3 Things you MUST KNOW before you’re classes start for the semester, especially if it is your first at University. But if you’re anything like me, then that’s what the first official week is for. But it still pays to know this.
1. Know where and when your classes are on. Know how long it takes you to get there. If you can’t get there from here, figure out an alternative route. Double the usual time if the route you take goes through the University Quad or Bar as you have to allow some time incase you make an unexpected stop to see your friends or decide to have a quick drink before class.
2. Know the course name and number. Make an effort to know your lectures name.
3. Your name is optional, but your student ID number is not. It’s the most important number that you will need to remember while you are at university, but whatever it is, don’t forget it. If you still cant remember it or don’t even know what it is, have a look on your student id card. Chances are it is there, but you still need to remember it.
Once you’ve sussed it all out, ITS PARTY TIME.

Orientation Week
With the second semester approaching fast, and it is almost time for Orientation Week.
Well, Orientation Week or O Week is time of year for noobs to be introduced to where they will be spending their days 'studying' for the next 2-3 years. (Or so they hope, provided that they pass from semster to semester). So, the noobs will take the time explore their new habitat,to find out useful information like where their classses are going to be held, student services, the library,where to buy text books etc. All the really important stuff. YEAH RIGHT... Well sure they need to know where all the stuff is but its O Week. This isnt the time to find all that out. Thats what the first official week is for.
O Week is the time to really find yourself and get settled in.Socially I should say. For the noobs its the time to find the really import things when it comes to student life. Like making new friends or drinking buddies, to find the quad for hackie sessions, the university drinking hole for drinking sessions obviously and to mingle with other like minded individuals, the student health services to pick up free condoms, and the closest Domino's or Subway when you got the munchies. You know. The REALLY import stuff.
O Week is basically introducing yourself to the University, be it through drinking copious amounts of alcohol, streaking through the quad, playind air guitar at the Ves, or even Trolley racing down Wakefield Street. Whatever your flavour, O Week has got it sorted.
For all the 1st years, this may be a whole new experience to them. For most, they would've just finished high school. It may be the first time they have ever moved out of home or to a new city on their own, or perhaps the first time away from 'Mum and Dad'. Whatever it is, if they choose to make the most of it, O week will be an experience that they will never forget.
And for the veterans, those who have made it through their first or even second year, O Week is just another excuse to get down and have some fun....
