Greetings, fellow students!

Let's get straight down to business: the title of this blog. Now, as I'm sure most of you will have noticed, the first week back was rather moist. Perhaps I'd go as far as calling it wet. Again, as I'm sure you've noticed, the UWA campus is not that easy to navigate if you desire to remain dry. Apart from the gushing waterfalls (sans ukele music), there are the sizable puddles.

The ANZ is aiming to recruit 35 people with a disability through their "ANZ Abilities Program" by 30 September 2009. If you have a disability and are interested in hearing more about this opportunity contact

The STUDYSmarter workshops are almost over for Semester 1, but we will be running them again next semester. Our workshops are free and cover an array of topics. I was just wondering if any of you bloggers out there had a workshop request? Is there a topic that you would like covering in Semester 2?

The Stepping Into program is a paid work experience program for students with disability in their last year of study. For more info check out http://www.aend.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=244&Itemid=1

 Disciplines catered for in 2009 include Law, Human Resources, Marketing, IT, Accounting, and Public Policy and Research.

Well ... the study break is almost over and I hope you've enjoyed the time off. As a student I loved my study breaks - it's a shame university staff don't get a 'working break' each semester! I'd lounge around the house in my trackies, work on an assignment or two, and would break up the study with a bit of daytime TV. Those were the days!

Do you have a presentation to prepare for? Does the idea of public speaking freak you out? Are you keen to improve your speaking skills? Do you want to learn how to deal with nerves associated with speaking to an audience?

Hello.

 Yes, I am annoyed. No, it has nothing to do with daylight savings (although, if you are feeling the need to be glared at ferociously, please bring that up with me next time you see me). 

A unit I was really looking forward to doing next semester has been cancelled. This unit wasn't offered last year, something that saddened me at the time - however, I cheered up when I found it was being offered second semester this year. 

I cheered down when I found it had been cancelled due to staff issues.

Hey everyone

I realised this morning, on the bus to school, that I had forgotten to blog yesterday! I believe that this may be because I spent the weekend blowing my nose, sniffling when I wasn't blowing, sneezing and generally feeling all spacey and cotton-woolly in the head.

...

I just got an I phone. I know I'm probably way behind the times especially because the i phone I got was a hand me down from my big sister. But I love it., I still haven't really figured out the phone part of the phone but to tell you the truth that doesn't seem to matter very much!
