  1. Chapter Forty: A Year (~jinghan)

    “Apparently it’s the year 12 vce english exam today. God, what did you expect this year would be like this time last year?” my friend asks me. And thoughts and feelings strike me like a tsunami. I remember – no – I feel the nervousness in the weeks before the exam, but then I feel […]

  2. Cake Three: Chocolate Cake (~jinghan)

    This week’s cake is the good old dependable chocolate cake. Also, you should consider creaming butter and sugar together by hand as an alternative to working out at the gym. Recipe from Jules Stranbridge’s novel Sugar and Spice, published in 2009 by Little Black Dress, an imprint of Headline Publishing Group. Ingredients: 175g butter 175g caster sugar 2 […]

  3. Chapter Thirty-Nine: Detox (~jinghan)

    This morning I went to bed at 2am, got up at 12pm, waffled around on facebook chat until 4pm, tried to do some work, but had to stick to my plans to go swimming at 5pm, which followed onto going out to dinner with my family, and didn’t get home till 9pm at which point […]

  4. Cake Two: Victorian Sandwich (~jinghan)

    Picture this: Jinghan sitting at the kitchen table with a plate of crumbs before her. She is licking jam off her fingers, and breathing in the hot aroma of English Breakfast tea. Bliss. This week's cake is a Victorian Sandwich, a delicious vanilla sponge with sugary strawberry jam in the middle. The food processor came out second best, but the cake is good.

  5. Chapter Thirty-Eight: Four Seasons in One Day (~jinghan)

    Yesterday it was raining when I woke up. It was raining when I had breakfast. It was raining when I had lunch. It was raining when I had dinner. It was still raining when I went to bed. The weather has been unfairly deceptive, for two weeks I had switched to spring-clothing, a skirt and […]

  6. An update, on nothing important.

    So, yup, there’s about a month to go until the exams. This is a little worrying, since I have missed an awful lot of lectures – either by not attending physically, or by not attending mentally. Obviously the best plan of attack for this situation is to sit down with a bag of miscellaneously flavoured […]

  7. Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Good Day (~jinghan)

    Note from the Author: My last few posts have all been a bit heavy with the sameness of each uni day, but today it is my pleasure to write to you about something, still ordinary, yet wonderful. Nothing special happened today. It wasn’t an exciting day or an interesting day. But, I’ve decided, a day […]

  8. Cake One: Sugar And Spice (~jinghan)

    I took half a cake in a lunch box to uni on Monday, and hadn’t handed out a slice by 12pm so I was feeling a bit desperately generous. By 1pm my desperate generosity had worked and I was running out of cake to give to the people I had promised cake to at lunch time. This […]

  9. Chapter Thirty-Six: Monotony Versus Cake (~jinghan)

    I wake up. It is a Wednesday. I know it is a Wednesday because I was doing my physics pre-lab yesterday and I have physics labs on Wednesdays. It is a Wednesday, and usually I haven’t used up all my energy until at least Thursday afternoon, but this morning there’s this heavy feeling in my […]

  10. In Defence of Arts Students (Cara)

    We all know the clichés. Scarf-wearing, pretentious, lattè-sipping poseurs, right? With their philosophy books carefully but jauntily displayed, despite them having only read the Wikipedia summary. Three contact hours a week, spent drawling about their notion of identity. Reject the stereotypes! I’m proud to be an Arts student, even if I do poke fun at […]
