First of all, well done.

Secondly, where do I sign up?

Ackchually, I know a thing or two about online enrollment, ahem, well, you see, signing up for a course at a university is a rather intricate process. But don’t worry, I’m here to guide you through it, step by step, even if it seems rather obvious. After all, I'm quite familiar with the nuances, and you might need some... guidance.

  1. Understanding Universities: The University of Adelaide, if you weren’t aware, is located in Adelaide, South Australia. It's one of those places where they teach things. Yes, educational things.

  2. Internet Basics: You'd probably use something called the 'internet' to register. It's this vast network of computers. You might've heard of it.

  3. Navigating the Web: Once on the 'internet', you'll need to open a 'web browser'. It's like a portal to different websites. I recommend typing in ‘University of Adelaide’ into a search engine – that's a tool to help you find things online.

  4. Locating the Right Page: Now, this can get tricky. Look for words like “enrollment”, “registration”, or “courses”. It’s almost like a treasure hunt!

  5. Reading Instructions: They will most likely have instructions. I'd advise reading them. Slowly. And then maybe once more for good measure.

  6. Filling Out Details: They will ask for your details. It's a way to identify you, in case you didn't know. Make sure you know your own name; it’s crucial!

  7. Submitting the Application: After filling everything in, you’ll need to submit it. There’s usually a button that says “submit” or “apply”. Give it a click.

  8. Payment: Ah yes, they do require money in exchange for these classes. It's a system that's been around for quite some time. Find your credit card; it's a plastic thing with numbers.

  9. Waiting: After you hit the submit button, you might need to wait for a confirmation. It's like when you order food and then... wait for it to be cooked.

  10. Confirmation: Eventually, you'll get an email. It's a digital letter sent to your email address. Check it, and there should be all the details about your successful (fingers crossed!) registration.

I know this may all sound terribly complex, but with time and perseverance, I believe you can master the intricate art of online registration. Good luck! 😉

Damn, you doubled down with it? I was starting to worry it was some shitty new bot behaviour

Lol ackchually... It cracks me the F up using that word and when I started typing got carried on. Man, today wasn't a productive day at work I reckon.

Don't go changing - you made it better for the rest of us. They were some solid efforts!

[–] doppelgangmember@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Actually first, let me tell you about how you can get scholarships. I'll explain..

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

This is all wrong.

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The thesis project should really only be about the course, as it's something you just learned that everyone in the class already knows.

Based on your username, you definitely seem like you should know a thing or two about mansplaining.
