Chapter Ten: Breadth of Fresh Air (~jinghan)
I was surprised when I heard that there are mixed reactions about the Melbourne requirement for all students to have a Breadth subject. I, for one, was ecstatic to have one whole subject every semester where I could learn whatever the hell I wanted – regardless of whether it would directly contribute to my future or not.

Chapter Nine: Escapism (~jinghan)
By the time I had finished considering my options my feet had already subconsciously let me to the Union House, and since I was here I may as well go to the Rowden White library. After all, if there was one reason why I purchased a union membership it was for this benefit alone - I may as well make use of it...blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/20/chapter-nine-escapism

"Don't spend today away…" (Pris)
Whoa, ok I know, I didn’t write last week like I usually do but that leads me onto why: a sudden increase of shifts at work. The weird thing is, I’m pretty certain my schedule’s still not that busy. Maybe I’ve been away from Year 12 for too long… I realise that I have very […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/19/dont-spend-today-away-pris

In Case We Needed Proof That the Rowden White is Amazing (Cara)
Today I was handed a Freddo by a grumpy-looking, unspeaking librarian as he slid my copy of Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress over the counter. No explanation. Just tiny, amphibious deliciousness. -
Earlier this week, I had a great idea for this blog post (Cristina)
Said idea has since been forgotten. I profusely apologise. Basically, I’m doing/avoiding assignments at the moment. It’s ass. I’m looking forward to the midyear break! Cristina. P.S. I never dreamed I would write a post this short, but there you go. P.P.S. Oh wait, I remember now! I was going to rant about this (click […] -
Half-Time (Rinaldho)
I would just like to preface this post by saying that I apologise to probably my one, and only reader (If I’m lucky), I haven’t been on task in regards to blogging every week, but things have just been pretty hectic on this side of the keyboard… Also, this post will be quite a mess as […] -
Chapter Eight: Camping Sans Tents (~jinghan)
During the period when first years were so fresh, everyone liked to impart lots of wisdom on us to make themselves feel more experienced and smart, we were told to join lots of clubs and attend lots of camps. I can say that so far I've been on two camps, which is two more than I thought I would go on when I heard about the strange drunken experiences of other university students (- including the eating of a lot of hard boiled eggs in an egg-eating competition, and waking up next to a lake after a night of drunken festivities and an attempt to see the sunrise.)blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/15/chapter-eight-camping-sans-tents-jinghan

Chapter Seven: On Age and Youth (~jinghan)
Since the start of university, I seem to have reverted to a childish fascination with everything. All the small things excite me – like water falling from the sky, the warmth of beds, the cups of acorns, the shoes people wear, the shininess of pull-rings and the cracks in pavements. I have even created some new cork-dolls from those […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/15/chapter-seven-on-age-and-youth

In Which I Write Lists (Cara)
Hey hey, my Internet fans. Aren’t you all looking swell today? If I were all tech-savvy and had more time on my hands, I’d make this an amazing interacting multimedia posting, à la Cristina, but I’m tired and on one of those mysteriously grubby Rowden White Macs, so you’ll have to put up with plain […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/12/in-which-i-write-lists-cara

This blog is actually a vlog (Cristina)
This week’s blog can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRHb2JgDoUo (It’s long, but worth it. At least I hope so) Cristina. P.S. Observation: Every single one of my blog posts so far – except for my first one – has the word “blog” in its title.blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/11/this-blog-is-actually-a-vlog-cristina
