MAC CHAT:A thread to post anything and everything

[Guest]

nice catch there Alex!

Morning everyone, its the start of another week and the chill factor keeps dropping by the day. Wondering if my QANTAS dreaming models will arrive this week! Got a whole lot of uni work to do so should help in making time fly. On another note, its 6 days til Wings over Illawarra cant wait to hear em pistons and smell those whiffs of burning kero! And check out many classic birds, im keen to inspect the Catalina and Neptune which ive never had a chance to look at close.. definately will have my camera handy!

Good luck with it! What are you studying again?

I'm glad I don't have any mid-year exams for this semester, so I get the full 2 month break!

Economics and Politics at the University of Sheffield (Dissertation is in Politics), I've not had too many exams this year its been a lot of written work but its all nearly done now, doesn't seem like 3 years since I started!

Nice! Only 3 years? are you studying at the Undergrad level? or Postgraduate? I'm not sure if the UK University system is the same as here, could be. I'm not sure whether or not I should go for the post grad after I'm done with my degree.

<div></div><div>Yeah standard undergrad in the Uk is 3 years, though it can often get extended to 4 if you do a years work placement or something like that. Post-grad is then 1 or 2 years after if you choose to do it. Lots of people do post-grad but for me personally I wanted to leave education for at least the time being and go into work and get some experience. I've not had any gap years or anything so I'm quite looking forward to doing something different!</div>

Hope all are well having a good night or day so far.

This has been a very busy week for me. My manager was on vacation so technically I was filling in for him. So had extra duties to do. Plus a meeting out of town this past Thursday and of course the trail at the airport. In between all that packing and shipping out orders. Today have to pack up an order then will try to relax. Most of my day's off are not day's off. Either errands to do or business things to take care of. At least the weather is getting nicer again.

Congrats Andy on your work, at least the hard yards are over and done! I'm about to finish my double degrees at uni, hoping to do Honours next yr and then im done with studying.

Well my camera batteries are all topped up and flash drives clear and ready for tomorrow's Wings over Illawarra airshow, i saw the Roulettes over Wollongong this afternoon doing a fly by, by the looks of it many of the invited birds came into the airport today. The weather is perfect for a wonderful day of classic and modern birds tomorrow. I'm just about to hit the pillow, set the alarm, as im going to head in around 8am. Airshow starts at 9:30 (i only live 20minutes from it). I will definately have a whole lot of photos that i'll put up during the week!

[Polynesian Airlines]

Sounds like good times are ahead mate.

[Guest]

Definately, counting down the hours now. I havent seen these birds flying for about 4 yrs, was the last time id been to an airshow, so glad the wait is now over! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]
