My name is Lofa i am 22 years of age. I made the choice to come to VU to complete my VCE because it's only a ten minute walk away and gaining my VCE certificate is crucial in obtaining a proper job. I'm strongly interested in anything the TAFE has to offer really.. I lack intelligence as well as skills and hopefully this course will help me with that. In regards to VU i hate having to pay too much for basic lunches from the canteen.
I love playing rugby, volleyball, basketball and baseball.. but it has been atleast 2 years since i have played any of these sports due to my bad health and excess weight (i eat too much junk food).
I would love to work with web pages, and presentations and those sort of things, i'm up for anything and looking forward to learning more about the subject and the skills that will help me work in the business industry.

I decided to come to VU and try out year 11 at the Nicholson campus, because I want to finish VCE and it was the nearest place from my home to school.I choose this class,because i'm interested in business and to do business courses and run my own business in the future. The advantages are I have learned many new things and got more knowledge about businesses. I have nothing absolutely hate, I don't like playing any sports and i like to typing,image,and web pages with computer in this class.

Johnny said...

My name is John and i am 22 years old.

I have decided to come and do year 11 at VU to complete my VCE so i can go onto further university study and get a better job.

An advantage for studying at this campus is that it is really close to the train station.

A disadvantage is that it is too far away from my house and there is a lot of traffic in the morning because i would rather drive.

In my spare time time i like ride my motorcycle. I have Honda CBR600RR.

My favourite sport to play is football. I play for the Rockbank Rams.

I absolutely hate having to wait in line for things and hate people that don't indicate on the road and turn or change lanes without looking.

I don't know if it would come under things that we would learn in this class but i would really like to learn how to mix songs togther on a computer. I would also like to learn how to design web pages.

Cheers!

I'm here at VU doing year 11 because i left school at an early age and after a few years between study, and many uninspiring jobs i've decided getting my VCE was a good idea.

There are a few good advantages to doing my VCE at VU Nicholson street
1. It's 15 min from my house and well within my operational capacity
2. The study enviroment here is perfect being designed for adults (i always had a problem with authority LOL)
3. MUSIC i make it, i spend all my time listening to it, i love it
4. I HATE PAYING FINES AND STANDING AT CENTERLINK OR VICROADS
5. I play football and soccer usually from the comfort of my lounge chair but occasionally at the park (im a huge carlton blues fan as well)
6. Probably better knowledge of excel and spreadsheets also anything to do with MYOB would be benificial

Zar Nay Htoo said...

My name is Zar. I have decided to come at VU for VCE because i want to study and have more educations for my future study continues. I also have many knowledges and experiences from study.my few disadvantage is, i can not follow my friends in study. The most i'm interested strongly is, to advice my friends and give suggestions. In this class the most,i want to study is class skills. My favourite sport is Football. Because i can compare what are different from each of these.

Johnny said...

Sam, is it road registered or just for the track? it sounds nice man.
I've only been riding for about 4 or 5 months and havn't really had any accidents.. but once some dumb bitch came straight through a roundabout and had her left indicator on. I was approaching the roundabout and had slam on the brakes and i nearly went over the handle bars! Lol Scared the shit outta me!

Johnny said...

Hey muh thats good that you want to run your own business but i thought we already had our business.. JKMAN electrical services hahaha!

Moobwe said...

Hi! John,
Caneball is a kind of ball, it made by cane, it's hard and heavy but People from Asia like to play it.

Lofa said...

John
i would like to say i own these systems but really they belong to my older brother who sadly still lives at home haha (he's a gaming fanatic)
He has a xbox 360,ps3,nintendo wii and a nintendo 64 that we only use to play killer instinct lol

Sammy said...

Lofa, yeh I can't stand Dubbed, annoys the shit out of me.

John, it's road registered, I'm trying to keep a balance between street and track, but it's hard to decide what the best parts to go for are.
After the new exhaust system it practically makes your ears bleed, but it's that nice kind of bleed :P.
Shit that's crazy, did you flip her off for nearly causing you to crash?

-=R=- [Cam] said...
