Retail Therapy: Ensuring a Great Start to Week-O (Brenda)
I was so anxious about Week-O I was actually on the verge of tears last night, while Boyfriend reassured me of how amazing my first day at Uni would be. Almost twenty-four hours later, I’m home again, with sore feet and a huge smile on my face. He was right. For some, the activities that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/02/22/retail-therapy-ensuring-a-great-start-to-week-o

Looming… (Candy)
Sooooo, tomorrow marks the beginning of O-Week, and I’m equally excited as I am nervous. Let’s just say causing awkward silences is my forte. So while the thought of socialising with strangers causes my mouth to involuntarily snap shut and my vocal chords to stop working, I know that at the end of the day EVERYONE […] -
Numero Uno (Candy)
Hello all – Candy here, the latest addition to the First_Year@UniMelb blog! Smiley faces all round! 🙂 You know, I kinda just realised today is Friday. The fact that there’s been no school-like structure for 3 months has resulted in my having no concept of time. I’m hoping uni will help me remember how it […] -
It's not my fault… I don't think (Silvia)
Job-hunting is going swellingly! Not really, I think it goes how job-hunting usually goes. Quiet and desperate, kind of like a little starved mouse zooming about in a maze and trying to sniff out the cheese in the middle. So far, it hasn’t been a huge success and after celebrating another day in our beloved […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/02/18/its-not-my-fault-i-dont-think-silvia

That Week-O Info Pack Overwhelmed My Anti-Social Self (Brenda)
Orientation is only a week away. (Full stop to let this truth sink in.) I was having a Gossip Girl marathon after sleeping in until 12pm, when my mother came home from TAFE with my Week-O information pack on her hands, which she had just retrieved from our mailbox. I ignored the somewhat thick package until […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/02/14/week-o-info-pack-overwhelmed-my-anti-social-self-brenda

February 12th, 2011 – The packing commences (Will)
Okay so to start off today (being 12 am) i was up wondering if the link to the hosts for our groups would open right on 12am. Of course me being the inquisitive type waited watching the seconds tick by on my computer until 11:59:59. Then hit the refresh button on the host group page […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/02/12/february-12th-2011-the-packing-commences

Summer (Silvia)
When I think of starting university, I have a certain image in my head. My friends and I on the South Lawn, splayed out like dead eagles in the warm sunshine and laughing like the idiots we are. However, the possibility of that happening is close to zilch. Just look at our recent weather. Why, […] -
February 11th, 2011 – The hunt for chocolate spice (Will)
