Bananas (Rick)
The weekend back to Melbourne was extremely busy. First I picked up a friend from her sister’s and stayed over at her place, watching Kill Bill. It was part funny, but with great shots and the sheer quantity of fighters at the end just bizarre. As usual me and my friend watched Rage on ABC […] -
Brass Monkeys! (Jeremy)
I thought Melbourne’s normal winter weather was pretty ordinary. There are a few consistent elements to Melbourne’s winter weather. Number one is absolute, constant cloud cover punctured by little three-minutes patches of bright sunlight (and it’s in this three-minute patch that you naturally choose what to wear for the day, and that how one ends […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/20/brass-monkeys-jeremy

Post-exams “A guide” *edit part 1* (Sophie)
Okay so my marks were pretty good when I think realistically about the fact it was my first semester, I made a lot of organisation errors….and I guess if I realise that getting over 80% at Uni is a lot harder than at high school…however I was still severely disappointed (for a while). Particularly when […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/17/post-exams-a-guide-edit-part-1-sophie

Finally Feeling Like Holidays (Johanna)
How annoying. A couple of days ago, I was sent an email from another student at the university. The email basically accused me of being ungrateful, racist, pathetic, among other things. From what I could tell, the student was pretty much taking out all their issues of imagined inferiority on me. It was ridiculous, but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/15/finally-feeling-like-holidays-johanna

A quick update and some notes for First Years (Sophie)
I’m alive. -Probably an important way to start! I’m in a state of major lack of sleep right now so I just wanted to say things are all pretty good. I quit “Tarjey” on Monday (Hello! -I’m trying to gain SOME respect here!)…which was an ‘interesting’ experience. I gave two weeks notice so still have […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/13/a-quick-update-and-some-notes-for-first-years-sophie

“You there! Stop having fun!” (Jeremy)
Dear Jeremy; Us good folk at the University at Melbourne have now, with the aid of many, many staff, and, in a panicky finish, the Managing Director’s Tattslotto numbers, managed to evaluate your final score for your subjects. We have discovered that you have achieved a mark below the 60% range. Here at the University […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/13/you-there-stop-having-fun-jeremy

Emergency, Paging Doctor Beat! *dances* (Johanna)
What fun vacation has been.. not. I’m aching to get back; I need something to fill my days. I love reading the other blogger’s posts about how they can’t possibly fit anymore into their schedules. Sounds like how I used to be, but alas.. my group of friends have been flung in every direction and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/10/emergency-paging-doctor-beat-dances-johanna

Hoooooooooooooooome (Chris)
I’m back in Sydney writing this, and gosh, it’s a bit of a strange feeling to have everything done for me again. After what I can only describe as a tumultuous term, I’m lapping up the generous amounts of food and attention being offered by family and friends. With that said, it’s genuinely odd to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/07/hoooooooooooooooome-chris

Instant JAFFY (just add water!) (Jeremy)
The semester has come and gone, and with it has gone any petal-bordered, silver-spooned, speech-night private school delusions of what First Year really is. Instead, it has been replaced by Utter Reality. And what is the reality? Well, to be honest, the reality rocks, as long as you handle it right. All in all, I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/01/instant-jaffy-just-add-water-jeremy

Do I Move You? (Sophie)
Things have been wonderfully busy and stressful as my holidays have turned into a “How much can I fit in 24 hours?” game. It is usually a good thing as I become so physically exhausted sleep is a haven that I fall into with ease…however at times my excitement at everything I’m involved with causes […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/26/do-i-move-you-sophie
