Loved your man from havok's presentation. Very well done.

Got in early for the first round of lectures, smack bang in the middle:) Hate to have had to stand.

We should facebook each other, that way we'll be able to pick each other out, as I dont feel like going round using a codeword all day/week:p

Havok presentation was pretty beast and I think facebook would be smarter then a code word now that I think about it LOL

Nice username, I like VU or at least VU&N (think that's the name of the album . . . the one with the Warhol cover). Will hopefully get to see you freshman week and we get to chat about our presumably obscure tastes over a pint or two, assuming you aren't lying about drink being one of your interests (couldn't help but notice)
ps. speaking of drink being an interest am currently training to become a barman in TGI's part time, so if you ever want to hit me up for a decent cocktail to prepare for the lady's or yourself holler

'Tis indeed the album, and your recognition of my username is a very positive first impression. I expect we'll get along very well! :P
We shall have to discuss expanding your horizons beyond VU&N, though.
And drinks should never stop at two.

What course requires you take a blood test?

mardybumbum

All the health science courses require the applicant to be screened for Hepatitis B s antigen, anti HB core antigen, and a plethora of other tests.

Is anyone else doing the course in Chemistry from the 13th-17th September? I hadnt realised that not doing Chemistry in the LC would be that big of a deal when doing Engineering..

I am =] I was actually seeing it as an opportunity to pretty much meet some engineering people before anything even starts
Planning on missing the last day though as my debs are the day before!

I doubt it'll be such a huge problem that we didn't do chemistry for the LC.

Yeap. And I've already a blood test awaiting me for a different issue. That means like 3 tests at least in 2 weeks...

Is that not just for health sciences peps too, no?

allym

So I'm starting occupational therapy and as far as blood tests and vaccinations go I wasn't given a form like the other health sciences such as physiotherapy got. Does anyone know if I can use one of those forms or is a letter from my doctor enough?
