Property Bubble
Played Monopoly a couple of weeks ago, with the weirdest set of rules, but it was fun. Anyway, there was a small insert in TIME Magazine about Monopoly that is hilarious:
Property Bubble
When the board game Monopoly hit London in 1936, the priciest property sold for a then staggering £400. That doesn't go far in London today, so a limited-edition 70th anniversary special Monopoly Here & Now brings the game up to date. New hot properties such as Notting Hill and Canary Wharf are selling for mini-money millions, a barrage of London icons--including the London Eye, Tate Modern and the new Wembley Stadium--have appeared and, instead of scooping $18 in a beauty contest, players who draw the right Chance card receive $183,000 for winning a reality TV show. The Free Parking square, however, is history. In London? Never!
And that's all I have to say. Holidays are nearly over...
Ooh, and just recieved an email from Emma! Her and Norelle are going to England to work for a year or so, so here's a link to her blog about their adventures in England. How exciting. (And I took down your so-called "sex blog" Amy)
And some of you may know that I was worried about my exam results, seeing as I failed a unit last year. If I failed again I wouldn't be able to complete my psych degree, so I was pissing myself when I checked the results. Funnily enough, I couldn't get into the website until yesterday. And anyway, praise God, I did okay. I probably won't be doing Honours, but I'm just overjoyed at being able to graduate. Woohoo!!!!

Not yet a bachelor yet, or maybe I have been one all my life? Ambigious words are cool.
And Amy, if I can't motivate myself, how am I going to motivate you?

Hey Cass!!

Hi Ali, I'm soo glad that you past that subject! Congrats! Don't do honours Ali! It's too stressful, believe me! See ya next Sunday! Christine
Hey Alison! Don't do honours!!! just apply for a job with the ABS! Seriously, one of my colleagues did a psychology degree in ECU and now she's working in the ABS!... join the ABS!!!... Simon Ow
Well, seems like I probably can't get into Honours anyway... hope yours is going okay though Chrissy! Seeya soon!
And Simon, ABS? What position would I take? Sounds boring. :) No offence!
my friend who did a psych degree at ECU is now in the population statistics group division. She produces monthly newsletter for the division and other stuff which is more interesting than what i do. You're quite right, they do sound boring... but come to the ABS!.. Simon Ow
