kk i gotta admit uni life is a degree better than highskool. i survived the second week and there are a few differences between uni and highskool that I've picked up on.
No. 1 - People are extremely polite. No guys telling u to "shake that ass" and no cat fights where girls nearly die from getting punched in the temporal (so far).
No. 2 - Walking to the next class is like a loooooooong venture across the surface of the sun. I mean even though I had to walk to seperate buildings for each class in high... at least we had a few covered pathways. Each step at uni brings me closer to skin cancer. They wanted to have a little more fun by making all the buildings and pavements white so that we can be blind too.
No. 3 - Tutors tell you to wear skimpier clothing. Ok I lie. ONE tutor told us to wear skimpier clothes. Not saying that highskool girls wore nun costumes every free-dress day (the 'day of opportuny') but you see, in anatomy we must learn more about the body and we must be able to see the body and be able to touch the body. Apparently t-shirts are not appropiate as it is difficult to touch body parts through clothing. Singlets and shorts are preferred (not too sure by who). And yeah... there is a lucky handful of guys in OT.
No. 4 - Alot more asians. I used to feel special.
No. 5 - Academic people dominate. Remember highskool toilets? I dunno bout everyone else but springwood toilets were dark, dirty and 4 out of 5 toilets were in no condition to be used. The toilet doors were covered with graffiti, rude comments, random swearing and confessions of a teenage 'emo'. And if not that then a fresh coat of paint (usually a colour which resembles vomit). But at UQ... omg. This is what I found on the toilet door of the Psychology building.
It's like a violent brawl in Nerd Land.
Nerd 1 : Students - be a conscious contributer to socialism, liberalism - ANARCHY. Think for yourselves!
Nerd 2: Why would you want anarchy? Without the government, you hippies wouldn't get your centrelink payments.
Nerd 3: You're so foolish. (lol foolish... that must be the closest thing to a swear word) Socialism and Liberalism aren't about thinkin for yourself. Do us all a favour and read up on your political science.
(I dunno how they managed to bring an insult back to study)
Nerd 4: You obviously don't know ANYTHING about the history of social welfare in Australia... one of the best welfare systems in the world.
Yes..... The toilet doors at UQ are the hot spots of political debates.
