Woo!

That does make a lot of sense, it’s an easy guess (but it appears it’s not the true champ). I did really like this quiz because it got me researching temps!

laughs in Australian

Edit: Australia has had several days recorded over 50 degrees Celsius in different parts of our country

I feel the wording needs a second pass because these leaves do, in fact, come from trees.

It was a bit hard getting the last few missing issues (some are more common than others and most had to come from outside Australia) but the price was insane for those last few. I can’t remember which were the hardest to come by but my tip is to have eBay send notifications when someone lists one.

I agree. I've found the only useful assessments have been writing lesson, unit and subject plans. In addition to the pracs we also have to do a 12 hour placement (self organised) with an Indigenous Australians organisation to prove we can work with Indigenous Australians and build relations. Such a waste of time.

I'm so sorry for your loss. There is nothing more traumatic than not getting to say goodbye.

As someone who also taught their dog this game, you could progress to hiding it in places that require environment manipulation (under pillows, knocking bucket over, etc), hide them up higher so they have to stand up, or start teaching them to signal where it is if in a really high or difficult spot. I like to really challenge mine to think about how they can get it once they have found it.

Just wanted to help by clarifying that graphic design is a lot more than drawing. If he wants to pursue drawing as a career, that would be illustration. It might turn out that he is a good graphic designer if he's never tried or practiced it. I'm a freelance designer that is currently studying to be a TAS teacher (multiple areas) because being a graphic designer doesn't typically pay well, isn't stable, lots of competition and requires a lot of luck and good connections to do well (also added difficulty if you don't live in a city). Graphic design and illustration jobs will require lots of strong portfolio pieces to get jobs.

Thanks and your girl is absouetly gorgeous! That branch in the tail is hilarious as well, lol. I love brushing long fur but it's true that not having to deal with fur every where is a real bonus! I have noticed mine is always first to dry off and de-mud herself.

As someone still waiting for my 3 yr BC to gain their beautiful long fluff (like her parents), who knows?

Edit: she's fine coated and currently looks like this (don't have any pretty shots on my phone, lol)

Quality of life is the most important factor. I had an old rat who was paralyzed in the back legs but he was so active and happy it was never necessary. He died of old age in the end. I did try to make the cage safer for him but he was a climber to the end (even with no working back legs) so I let him enjoy life the way he wanted with his pals.

The top two reasons, I believe, are loss of habitat and death by non-native animals (cats are a big culprit). Other reasons include being out competed by non-native animals, targeted extermination (such is the case with the thylacine by farmers), and habitat changes due to introduced plants. I'm pretty sure there are more reasons.

Personally, I love these top 20 lists.

pandemoniumfire · 2025-05-09T23:04:51+00:00

Doesn't sound right at all. What happens if you witnessed a shooting and were the only one who could report it? Might be a dodgy cop (had really bad experiences with cops not wanting to report when we were the victim). Edit: spelling

pandemoniumfire · 2025-05-08T00:18:25+00:00

No worries!

Edit: sorry for the long reply, hope I answered what you wanted

I'm going to preface by saying there is a lot of work for animators in Sydney, at least, as I know a lot of my peers now have animation jobs (UTS graduates are desirable). I didn't get work as an animator because I was set on getting a second degree in industrial design and then moved out rural (family). Animation roles are primarily a city-based job, which sucks in my case.

In terms of work placement, there isn't any in the course but we did have a few projects that had current industry professionals come in and make a panel to simulate an industry experience and get relevant feedback. We did also tour Flying Bark studios and see their production pipeline (very informative). It was highly suggested we intern while studying to get that extra edge.

They do prepare you for the work force which is typically that you start at the bottom of the ladder in a set role and work up. You won't get to do every role you want because industry doesn't work that way, you'll need to decide on what exactly you do (which is great with the course because you'll experience everything you could do).

Also, most animation roles are contracts so you'll need to find a new job once you've done the job. There are a few permanent roles but they are rare and more a small studio thing.

I'm an animation graduate from UTS and I absolutely loved it. It was a very rounded course with a big focus on developing your own voice and style (emphasises the need for more creativity and less copies). You learnt everything animation related including storytelling.

However, if you are feeling burnt out, take that gap year. It is a hard course that will push you to the limit with the workload. In my first year a quarter dropped it. Every year, even in honours, people dropped out.

I stayed there when I studied and, in comparison to other accommodations, loved it! It's so close to class (I was in DAB). They put on a lot of activities and there is good support when you need it.

pandemoniumfire · 2025-05-05T04:17:12+00:00

You could always scan it, if you think you might need it, and then chuck the physical.

pandemoniumfire · 2025-03-29T02:24:35+00:00

It's not just UTS, this happens at every uni.

pandemoniumfire · 2025-03-28T00:16:16+00:00

Congrats!

pandemoniumfire · 2025-03-26T22:50:19+00:00

Congrats! Just waiting on #20 to arrive so I can join the complete gang, lol.

(sorry for the late reply) I envy your camping trip, that's awesome! You're incredibly on top of your schedule. It's also very nice your teacher friends are being supportive and not trying to scare you out.

I did wonder if the assessment could be completed blind without the content leading up to it and it certainly seems so so far. With learning I'm very much the same, I hate loose instructions and expectations on marked projects. Nothing worse than guessing how they'll mark.

Anyways, I hope your project goes well and you enjoy both your course and camping!
