My story so far. In response to Sophie’s philosphy (Jim)
I absolutely agree with ur comment except the last line. The meaning of life is to never be forgotten. i dont like that line, sorry. I follow another philosphy, learned from the book, “tuesday with Morries”. Everyone should read that book. It is an inspirational and entertaining book. Basically: love community, family and have a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/16/my-story-so-far-in-response-to-sophies-philosphy-jim

I got a lot of livin’ to do, and I ain’t got no time to waste! (Sophie)
EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night I was so beyond-words-happy. Throughout my management exam instead of time to go, I thought of essays to go until vacation!!!! (Funnily enough more motivating than distracting) I am thrilled to finally get a chance to relax. It hasn’t quite hit me yet, and I’m still in high-stress mode….but tonight […] -
The Agony and the Ecstasy (Jeremy)
I have one confession to make; despite playing AFL, I am also a soccer fanatic. I am one of those people who went into mourning when SBS lost the rights to the English Premier League to Pay-TV, I am one of those people for whom the A-League seems to have managed to breathe new life […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/13/the-agony-and-the-ecstasy-jeremy

Bright Side of The Road (Sophie)
I just wanted to share something that really inspired and touched me the other day; particularly as I think of the circumstances that eventuated. It was the dedication Sue Fear (the moutain climber) wrote in her autobiography “Fear No Boundary”. “To Young People, be who you want to be.” Reading those words made me think […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/09/bright-side-of-the-road-sophie

On Being A Total Nutcase (Jeremy)
Sometime late last year, I was sitting in a small room located somewhere deep within the monolith that is the Engineering department with the lovely, helpful Ms.Stevenson-McBride (NOT like that, you filthy, dirty perverts), sorting out my enrolment and subject choices for not only year 2006 but also in terms of the rest of my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/09/on-being-a-total-nutcase-jeremy

Woe is Me (and anybody who has to deal with me) (Johanna)
The last couple of days have been a massive reality check. Whilst I was spending my days making sure my throat was warm/moist/clear/limber enough to sing those sky-high notes and completely avoiding the fact that I am probably going to fail two subjects and lose my scholarship.. well, after my audition, it all hit home.

Come sail your ships around me, And burn your bridges down (Sophie)
Nothing like a bit of Nick Cave to pick you up in a dark moment – okay, perhaps most would take that comment as sarcasm, but in truth I adore his music and find it uplifting despite its dark edges. I have just been listening to “The Weeping Song” and “The Ship Song” – two […] -
Heaven Knows.. Anything Goes! (Johanna)
*dances* Things are starting to look up a little! I’m auditioning for Anything Goes for the Geelong Lyric Theatre Society. It will be brilliant – I’m auditioning for Hope Harcourt, the debutante ingenue (she sings It’s Delovely with her love interest, Billy Crocker). So, if I do get in, I’ll also have to travel to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/06/heaven-knows-anything-goes-johanna

Makeup Entry EXTRAVAGANZA1111!!!11!!1, now with EDIT! (Chris)
OK – I am sure that those of you who have actually read my blog, if there are any of you, have been wondering whether or not my last entry actually indicated my death. However, let me assure you, I am not dead (although a recent article in Farrago may have also suggested otherwise). I’ve […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/06/makeup-entry-extravaganza1111111-now-with-edit-chris
