i really want to move to melbourne though. maybe for a second degree or a job. i love malben. to paraphrase James Murphy, Adelaide, I love you, but you'll bring me down.

I just couldn't stand it in Queensland so I transferred after my first year of undergrad. Now in my third year and fucking glad I made the move.

Also, if I remember correctly, aren't you at Bond? I am not entirely sure what to say about this. At high school, a number of us thought of going to Bond, but then at the same time mocked it mercilessly. You know, the whole "send a cheque for $2.5 million and get a degree in the mail 3 years later" sort of thing.
 
i know i don't want to stay here. but for Uni, especially when you're associating with so many out-of-towners in a small, tight-knit community with a decent enough nightlife, and when you're given a half-scholarship, the decision is sort of made for you when the alternative is wallowing in Adelaide at a Tafe-with-benefits.
What, you don't want to be drinking at the Worlds End? Hey you've got the new, improved, no-longer-gay, Ed Castle!!!! :happy:
 
Haha, you've just made Ax and I really, really jealous. Even for the apparently shitty Swervedriver show.

Yeah, first Lovetown, now Ride and Swervedriver? Fuck you, BEG! :jealous:

I'm actually cranking some Swervedriver right now. Sci-Flyer. :drool:
 
The only time I've ever been to the Worlds End, it was so damn busy I could barely even order a pint.

Gave me a big one for a pretty fine deal, though. But I prefer hanging at Rundle St.

It was quite disappointing that Swervedriver sucked, the guy had some awesome dreads...

And the ex was useful (for once), we took the bus down to Melb to see Ride at the Palace and were on the barrier. My ex behind me took the full force of the moshing during Like a Daydream or I'd have a groove carved into my stomach still now...

there's no way i could afford it if they weren't paying for half my fees. the Uni is pretty decent, my social life is rad and to be honest, i needed a change, and my parents weren't going to give it to me unless i had some form of scholarship. add to that the fact i'm pretty certain i'll be doing another degree when i'm done, probably at one of the Big 8 (preferably Melbourne), it was the right decision for me.
 
Night, Ian! Sleep tight with your warm pussy. :wave:

Oh god. :lmao:

One night when a group of us got drunk at Fellow Albino Railfan's place and stayed the night, she went to bed with her cat and numerous jokes were made about how out of all of us, she was the only one getting any pussy.

I slept on the fuckin' kitchen floor. And got up early to photograph a bloody train.

I'm going to hate you even more if you tell me they also played Seagull, Dreams Burn Down, and/or Vapour Trail.

When I was still considering doing journalism, I was very seriously considering applying for a scholarship at Bond. Staying close to home would have had some perks for me. I certainly wouldn't be having to pay what I do now for household expenses, for one thing! And if I had stayed on the Gold Coast, no fucking way would I have gone to Griffith.

And yeah, I'd say you're in the right boat for Melbourne - it's a great place if you want to do postgrad, but now that they've introduced the "Melbourne Model", I advise anybody doing undergrad to steer clear. I'm glad I got in just before the Model was introduced.

Yeah man, when I started here i was doing a Journalism/Sports Management double degree, thinking of Sports Journalism or a Sports Media role of some description. After a semester of journo I didn't like it so I changed to Communications/Sports Management, so I could major in something but have a broader media and communications degree so if I changed my mind it wasn't too late.

Now I'm thinking of Journo again, so I might double major in Journalism and Public Relations for Communication, leaving me with fingers in many pies: Journalism, Sports Journalism, PR, Radio (apparently I have a voice for radio and once I get a car/job I'll be doing some course and volunteer role), and Sports Administration/Management (applying for a PR internship with the GC Blaze atm).

Yeah. still don't know what I want to do exactly, but the sports-madness of Melbourne and the fact it is so goddamn cool makes me want to move there for either work or further study. Plus, you know, the GC is good for a while, then you get to know the real GC - tacky as fuck.
 
Yeah, generally if I'm down there I'll have a drink or two there. I sort of prefer The Belgian, Elephant and PJ O'Briens down the corner, though. After a while I'll probably be dragged down to Hindley or Gouger, though.
When I come home, I'll be hitting town in a big way. Only turned 18 in January this year and I moved here May last year so I never really have... and I'm fair excited.

Heard great things about the Belgian, and went to the Elephant pre-an Adelaide United home game last holidays, and good times were had by all.

You an afficinado of the non-Anglo pub then? (OK the Elephant is Anglo).

Ah, yeah, always a good idea to have your options really open like that. I'm a History guy, and even worse, I specialise in Kiwi history, but I've got the marks and the work that I think I can turn it into a career within academia. Failing that, though, I'm also doing Political Science, so that's a nice little back-up should things go awry anywhere.

Melbourne's certainly got more substance and sense for all of that stuff too. Tacky's just the word for the Gold Coast. I mean, fucking hell, the front cover of the GC Bully tells you that every day of the week. Last I heard, it's written at the reading comprehension level of eight year olds, and seems to cater for people with about that mentality too.

Awesome. :up: I had my first big night in town when I turned 18, always helps to have some people that know the best places around, too.

The Belgian is expensive, but the beers there are awesome, and it's always really busy. Gotta love the Elephant.
