[SilentRealm]

Sounds like you will have plenty of opportunities to use this forum for examples.

my 'expert' analysis of this board:

you're all bloody crazy!! :zombie:

 

[Beelzebub]

Differential Equations

I'm taking it too; I've never felt so stupid before.

I thought there was more to it than that.

^ whats your degree?

electrical engineering.
music minor.

Agalloch sig = WIN.

Diff EQ is an easy class, i'm probably going to test out of it. calc 2 was much harder, calc 3 comparable. neither of these hold a candle to some of the 500 level and 600 level stuff.

Hmmm, next week's subjects:
Scientific Thinking (why it has to be on Mondays? )
Writing (research and stuff)
Furniture restoration
Art History & Aesthetics

ah cool, we got a boy who works with us doing that at uni.. anything to do with engineering just sounds impossible to me however.

the hardest subjects we apparently have for the whole course is the two statistics ones (the analysis ones i mentioned before) - but we shall see.. they also said the stat one last year would be really hard and i found it really simple, but im preparing myself for them to be ultra difficult just in case..

one class for me, Workflow Management... yay. Low-level Petri Nets for the first 3 weeks - mind numbing >_< Cheapest text book ever at $40 AUD though.

 

[progmetaldan]

I'm gonna buy an Ibanez Xiphos, it's too sweet of a deal to pass up.

That looks a killer guitar!!! Isn't it the sig model for the guitarist of Necrophagist?

Where abouts are you doing that?

I had my first day at Uni today, i'm doing a Diploma in Classical Music, Majoring in Classical Guitar... Today I had 1 class, Sound Production A, which was actually really interesting, and I just practiced in one of the practice rooms for the rest of the day... I wore my G306 T-shirt, just to let everyone know where I was at musically... :Smug:

 

[SilentRealm]

my books this year are costing over $800

 

[SilentRealm]

@ pmp - and did anyone else there even know what G3 is?

 

[progmetaldan]

Probably not... Oh well, I felt happy knowing there was someone else who also went to G3 in Adelaide... Oh, that's right, that was the mirror in the practice room...

 

[meisteh]

Where abouts are you doing that?

Mawson Lakes, UniSA. I wish I was studying music right now but unfortunately it has taken me 23 years and a degree's worth of HECS debt in an different field to get to this realisation. Oh well, c'est la vie right?

 

[progmetaldan]

Hmmm, (I don't understand latin or french or spanish or whatever that last phrase was... ) Anyway, good luck with that mate, I'm at Adelaide Uni... At the Elder Conservatorium Of Music, which I love saying cos it sounds really posh... Sucks though, cos it's a VET course, and I can't get HECS, I have to pay the thing up front, which put my new guitar on hold...

 

[meisteh]

I don't understand French either, it's just "such is life" or something similar.

How much does the Diploma set you back? I'm thinking of studying something in the near future (within a year or two) that I can perhaps pay for as I go.

 

[progmetaldan]

I think it worked out to about $1700 per semester, and the course runs for 2 semesters... You can do it for Classical or Jazz, and you have to audition in about December... It seems pretty good...

i only bought half the books i was supposed to. frickin scam i say
