I'd be keen if I had a car, lol. Damn me!

ulp was $1.32 in town today. I remember a couple of years ago it was only like 74 cents a litre ;)

Most Uni libraries do loan out text books, but as they are in high demand you can only borrow them for like a day...but then the other half of the text books you can only access IN the library, you can't borrow them out. When I started Nursing last year, my first semester text books cost almost $800...and although they said we needed all of them, I still have maybe 3 or 4 still in their plastic wrapping. Also look on your uni website, in the classifieds section (if they have them), coz people are always selling their textbooks. I mangaged to get a book scholarship this year...a whole $250 that can only be used in Lismore...wow, lotta good that does me seeing as I moved 12 hours away! It will buy me like 1 and a half books! Wahoo!

Why punish the kids because your neighbours are a bunch of tools. Youre within your rights to make as much noise as you want within the bounds of sound restriction laws, so they can't do shit! You should make complaints about all of them - their dogs, the grass (which is a huge fire hazard in the heat of summer). I don't know much about living in rural areas, Ive pretty much lived in the middle of housing estates, so obviously we encounter a lot of noise (probably our own fault for living in such populated areas), but even people there are bastards! All the bedrooms in my new house are along the same side of the house...regularly the 60yr old bitch next door gets up at 6am and starts gardening, digging so loud it sounds like someone is banging a basketball against my bedroom wall. Then she'll hose, frequently hitting the metal fence which seperates our yards, she then goes inside, turn her radio up loud, finally gets in her car and sit there revving it for a good 5-10 mins. Sundays mornings are the times when she stands in front of our house before 7am talking at the top of her lungs to people walking their dogs, right in front of my mums bedroom window. Not to mention her dog, who sets off the dog on the other side of her, which sets off our dog, 24/7. The other morning they started at 4am. People are gay, stab them with forks.
