Thats one hell of an ATG squat. Need to update your sig! =-)

Nice guitar too. I'm always amazed at people who can play. Sometime I think it would be cool to learn, but right now I have too many hobbies without that one hehe.

-I stopped after the fourth rep of last set of squats as it was pretty freakin slow, didn\'t know if i could get another rep, and I didn\'t want to fail a rep, especially with no power rack or spotter. Next week will be my last week of training for a while, I might do 3 x 3 x 300lbs for the squats

Moving out/kicked out as soon as i get my uni offer(jan 15) I start looking for a place.

Parents want me to sell my weight training equipment early, by the end of the month.

I don\'t expect to be able to train regularly until feb-march - settle into new place, new uni, find new gym, yadadadada... Should be interesting, and fun.

I just owned an exam really hard yesterday, should own my last one tomorrow(cramming really does work). Damn they make us wait until 17dec to tell us our ranking - I guess its so we have 2 weeks to go celebrate finishing high school, and then we get the bad news(err..good new i mean).

Yeah, so the last 4 weeks I\'ve just been trying to get big PR\'s, since i wont be lifting for a while, when i come back ill probably need like a month just to regain these PR\'s, maybe more, which sucks.

EDIT: theres a guest viewing my thread!! wierd!

I actually hear from 2 of my colleges right around that time--Dec. 15. So we're both in the same boat here--waiting a month to hear our fates.

Well not exactly the same boat, but similar boats haha.

I get my ranking in December. - from this i could guess looking at last year\'s students which course i\'ll get into, the number(0-99.95) that will determine my fate.. hahah(aiming for 90, i think i wont be below 85)

My uni offer in jan 15(we apply through an organization and select 12 courses, not direct to uni\'s, we only get one offer)

So all the Unis in Australia are public? that's interesting. Here, you have public+private, and you can go wherever you are accepted at.

public private whaaat? I\'m not sure how they classify, I know the uni\'s get a crap load of money from the government. I know my fees are subsidised by the government(20k per year, I only pay like 5-6) - all courses have this option, u can pay full fee and its easier to get in, but my parents are tight(yeh they can afford it), and i cant afford haha.

I can only go to the top(my highest preference) uni that i am accepted at, i give them 12 ordered preferences and they go down the list until i get accepted.

Yeah, I\'m pretty sure that\'s it, kinda annoying, but oh well, you\'ll have to put up with it for another few months!

You can also get scholarships to these schools relatively easily. Due to my standardized test scores/ grades, I can go to the flagship school in my state for free. I can probably also get a nice scholarship offer to the University of Maryand, the other state school I'm applying to.

Private schools are just that--private, without any Gov't funding. These tend to be expensive(although they will help you out if you need financial aid). Most of the private schools I'm applying to cost around $45,000
