Personality & Paradox (Chris)
A great contradiction of my personality just became evident to me, while I sat here in the Creative Arts computer lab, taking advantage of a broadband internet connection (as I do). On the weekend, I purchased a DVD boxset which I have literally been waiting, hanging, more than a year for. It was Season 5 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/17/personality-paradox-chris

Revelation! (Johanna)
Seeing as this blog is supposed to chronicle the bad as well as the good things involved in First Year uni, I thought I should share something a little.. well, personal. Hopefully being open will make others feel better about being open as well, because stigma is a horrible thing. Before I begin, please let […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/17/revelation-johanna

Relieved (Sophie)
I have a job with David Jones still!!! I am very relieved. I finally got hold of the HR lady and after being firm but pleasant…I managed to get a training time AFTER exams (after a process where she told me twice that nothing after exams existed!). So I am pretty thrilled. I still have […] -
Smashing Plates (Rick)
Ok, time for a very quick post, or else my test for physics will suffer on Wednesday. Last weekend I went home and went to a house selling party (if that’s what you call it) of one of my mum’s friends. There were about as many children as adults, which was kinda scary, and everybody […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/15/smashing-plates-rick

Happy Endings (Chris)
Housemate A lives downstairs. Her fridge is full, yet she has an excess of product which will rot if not consumed. She tells Housemate B that she has left him a bag of fruit in his kitchen. Housemate B lives upstairs. Housemate B puts the fruit in his fridge, and over the course of a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/14/happy-endings-chris

Problem (Sophie)
I’m a bit stressed right now. I don’t know what to do. I have this Xmas Casual position lined up at David Jones…but I just realised the training days I’m meant to attend are SMACK BANG IN MY MOST IMPORTANT LAST LECTURES for subjects. The only other option is training SMACK BANG in the middle […] -
Who says I can’t cook?! (Chris)
Yes, I admit, it’s kind of sad that I took a photo of my own dinner. BUT I WAS SO PROUD OF IT! It was also very tasty. Mmm. Garlic & Soy Chicken Stir Fry with Hokkien Noodles. Without the aid of Kan-Tong or any other bottled “flavour enhancer”. Bam!blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/11/who-says-i-cant-cook-chris

Friendship (Jeremy)
It’s an interesting concept, friendship; mateship, if you will (though all mateship tends to imply to me is two friends who are both too manly to admit that they love each other). It’s certainly a difficult concept to pin down. I remember back when we had the Republican Referendum and Howard tried to write a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/10/friendship-jeremy

Everything’s Alright (Johanna)
Things have been worse in the history of the world.. there has been disaster, genocide, tragedy. One girl feeling like she’s held together with sticky tape is not going to affect the entire world. Therefore, everything will be alright. Things aren’t great right now. Everything is sort of coming together in a mighty cacophony of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/07/everythings-alright-johanna

My 2nd semester (Jim)
Well, the long delay of posting probably indicates some laziness of me, or the intensity of law in this sem or how wondeful my family is ( i talked about my problems with them, so u guys are left out 🙂 ). Well it is all of them (this blog is not going to be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/07/my-2nd-semester-jim
