Parking at uni sucks!!!

Haha, yea it was a phil 101 test. VERY easy paper

I ended up having to wait in traffic to get down to tournament cos traffic was so bad on princes and symonds street and then had to walk up to the 260 building with a bung foot! Late for the test aswell of course. haha, luckily it was a very easy test.

i used to park my old gpz down alfred (i think its alfred?) - do the bikes still all park down there? primo spot right in the middle of the campus but if you drive you're screwed....

Heheh just winding you up.

Alfred St, yeah, I sometimes call it Albert St as it's right opposite Albert Park. But Albert St is somewhere else

No, they had the parking there up until early this year (I think that was the time), there's a thread up about it.

Complete pain in the arse they removed the parking there, it was such a good place. Now you have to park on busy Symonds St, somehow back your bike in quickly while there is a break in the traffic, and when you leave you have to pull a pretty dangerous U-turn usually.

Most uni students wouldn't drive anyway, even if there was masses of cheap parking. Too expensive in fuel alone, and driving around the CBD is no fun at all.

I think i saw your bike last night, parked up on princes where the old bike parking used to be...

Yep, that would've been me -- I park on the big slab of concrete path on the corner of Princes and Albert.

Hahah haven't done CS111, it used to be you could do it no matter what, but now it's restricted against CS101 and CS105, which are `real' papers I took, being a CS major. I have heard stories, though

Nah, CS111 isn't restricted. I took it last semester and my mate who's doing either stage 2 or 3 compsci is taking 111 aswell! haha, points filling papers are great!

Damn! I should've done it. There's loads of cute foreign students who are taking it too.

Haha, there's one foreign chick my mates and I call "compsci chick" who used to hang around the maths and physics building on her break... but she doesn't look as good this semester cos she dyed her hair blonde... she looked better as a brunette IMO, haha.

You just made me realise that once I graduate, I will no longer be able to taste so easily the sweet sweetness of the student-female

Masters degree?

I don't know what it is about auckland uni, but it seems that whoever decides who is and who isn't accepted into uni is under strict instruction that AT LEAST 3/4 of all females enrolled at one time have to be of above average in the looks department.

Is it just me or do you guys notice it aswell? There seems to be multitudes of very nice pieces of eye candy!

I agree, never seems to be any shortage around uni, can't wait for summer to be back again...
