'Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises, sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not' (Simone)
I write to you, kind people of this blogsphere, with ‘Man vs Wild’ going on on SBS behind me. My family are hooked on it, sitting on the couch beside me, eyes wide, hoping Bear Grylls will successfully cross the blizzard of snow. “How’s he going to do it, Simone?!” Dad asks me in what […] -
A guy in the library just stood up and did his fly up. I'm concerned as to why it was undone. (Victoria)
He did it all casually not as though he was surprised to notice it was open. I can officially say my first week of uni is complete. For the most part I’m happy with my subjects. I’m super happy with Creative Writing: Ideas and Practice and An Ecological History of Humanity. I’m glad I chose […] -

I think someone must be having a party down here because I don't recognise anyone. (Victoria)
The joys me sharing a building with hundreds of strangers. Really, living with strangers has been great so far. I’ve met so many lovely people from countries and universities I would never have had a chance to. I also had the opportunity to spend two glorious hours watching Nickelodeon yesterday. Although, there’s this one guy […] -
O, what a week! (Simone)
Somehow, it is already Friday – we have reached the end of a rainy, exciting, Orientation week! Last Friday, which only feels like yesterday, I wondered how I would be feeling by now. More nervous about the start of the semester, or less? But thankfully, it is safe to say that if anything, O-week has […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/03/01/o-what-a-week-simone

Day 1 of O-week: officially survived! (Simone)
Time: 6:05 pm Number of coffees already drunk after one official day of O-week: 4 (my hands are literally shaking…) Emotional state: Exhausted and in need of a cuppa, but overall thrilled by the lovely events of today! I suppose I better start from the begining for ya, eh?! Well, in preparation for O-week […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/02/26/day-1-of-o-week-officially-survived-simone

"And my dad paints the house different colours!" (Victoria)
Tomorrow I’m moving, so today I decided to spend the day doing things I love. Then I realised that I a) still have some packing to do b) have packed up my books and movies so I can’t use them and c) am far too pathetically sentimental for the music etc I can listen to to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/02/23/and-my-dad-paints-the-house-different-colours

Musings of Arky, Thalia, the tempest outside and Hazel Grace (Simone)
It’s pouring with rain as I write this; the clouds outside are heavy and dark and spooky – ahh, and lots of lightning too!! My desk has a metre wide, ceiling-to-floor window right next to it that gives me some outlook into the world whilst on Facebook studying, and today it is covered in droplets of water. […] -
I met the most beautiful man on the train yesterday. (Victoria)
If Simone feels bad for not blogging in a week I can’t imagine what she thinks of me! I promise I’ve legitimately busy or away from computers. I’m currently in the middle of packing up my entire bedroom in preparation for the big move this weekend. I still have to organise exactly what day I’m […] -
One week to go! The countdown begins (Simone)
Alas, it appears that it has been an entire 7 days since I last blogged! The time is flying! After the longest stretch of Summer holidays us ‘Class of 2012-ers’ have had in our lives, there is but a week until Orientation Week officially starts. The butterflies are beginning to churn; not just from excitement, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2013/02/17/one-week-to-go-the-countdown-begins-simone
