It was good. Even though I had to work and it was a stinkin' hot day. Thanks for asking! Hope you are well!

Thank you! If I had a cake I'd share

No problem. I had trouble a couple times when translating Pokemon cards. I still have mine. I used to battle them, though I was only ever able to enter the auxiliary tournaments (I was too old for the main ones). I prefer playing on GameBoy to playing with the cards.

No offense taken. I get that a lot.

"Stordiraggio" means Confuse in Italian. And since it is a Gengar, most likely the attack is Confuse Ray or something to that effect. If the card says "Lancia una moneta", then flip a coin.

Get your letters by email; they take long enough as is.

Yeah, I'm not taking enough papers (because I'm only taking what I need to finish) to get living costs. But by picking up papers that I don't need, I'm just getting a bigger loan for my course fees. But it's the only way to get living costs. Such a ridiculous situation.

Well I work mainly with other students. Given it's summer, they're all climbing over each other to get extra hours. They're happy and I'm happy.

Have you sorted out StudyLink? I'm having difficulty with them this year. I need Student Living Costs, but in order to get them you need to be full time or be approved as 'limited full time'. Technically, I should be limited full time because I'm only taking a few papers in order to finish my degree. But they're ****ing me around so much, I might just pick up some French of 100-level Computer Science papers in order to qualify. I ****ing hate this organisation; they're making me increase my (course fees) debt in order to increase my (living cost) debt.

yes it is and thx for the welcome

Yeah it is; I work full time (40 hours) at the moment, and they'll probably bring me in part time throughout the year. I'm not complaining -- it pays a lot better than a supermarket, which technically I'm still employed at (I just get other people to work all of my shifts).

BCM sounds cool. Work hard! B's get degrees, but everyone gets a degree these days.

I've got a friend starting the second-year film programme this year.

I'm working for these guys actually. It's hard to explain, but we're developing a transport model to determine the influence of commuter distance, time, and cost on residential choice (where you and your family choose to live) and the number of cars you own. The Ministry of Transport is interested in our research, which is how I earn money. University can open many doors if you work at it, and choose the right things. But make sure that whatever you do, you enjoy -- or else you won't be any good at it, and will end up with a boring job.

EDIT: I think I just realised that I'm an adult. Crap.

Mmmm. I've had coffee cake once. Twas. Pretty. Good. Lol. My favourite will always be chocolate mudcake. Or cheesecake. Any cake! I'm mad for cake. Except carrot cake. Eww.

Damn you! I am so hungry! Lol. Hope it was DELICIOUS!

Happy late Birthday!

Yeah, I'm in my fourth year at Victoria this year, and I work in a research role there at the moment. I don't know anything at all about Waikato, but I can answer everything about Studylink and stuff.

Heh ^^; I guess so. lol. Thanks for the vote btw

Simple is where it's at.

Yeah. I think I lost my loan number for a second time. I hate how they make you choose a different username for everything. I also try to keep my passwords simple. Not all the same, but it depends on the site I use. That's how I remember. Everyone's different though. I tend to remember number patterns rather than words.
