To attend or not to attend. That is yet another question.
It is a delicious time of the year, and also one where I would normally get two weeks off, not a lousy, measly one week. It is now the last day of the break, and I’m back on the ole University wagon again tomorrow. I have accomplished nothing. This wouldn’t be such a bad thing, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/11/to-attend-or-not-to-attend-that-is-yet-another-question

The ABC of Living Parentfree, Carefree and Cashfree
Goodie good goodness. What a spastic couple of weeks it has been. Sorry I haven’t posted…I’ve been busy curled in the foetal position sucking my thumb. Easter has got to be one of the best holidays ever. I am an athiest, but thank you Jesus. I don’t know how eggs and chocolate relate to your death […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/09/the-abc-of-living-parentfree-carefree-and-cashfree

"Nothing's gonna change my world…" (Pris)
Ok, it’s Easter and it’s holidays and I’m happy so I’m gonna make up for the last angsty post I put up. Things I like about uni: The instant camaraderie created between everyone in the beanbag room when we all gasp/laugh at the movie…or share those “tehehe” looks with one another when someone’s snoring loudly.

'Tis the holiday season! (Rinaldho)
OK, well I think I’m going to keep this post a short one, mainly because I don’t have a lot of wisdom to bestow on you readers this week, but secondly, because, well, that’s it really. So in order to save you from a drawn-out post with no clear message, I shall keep this one […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/03/tis-the-holiday-season-rinaldho

Chapter Six: Book Clubs and Night Markets (~jinghan)
Previously in Jinghan’s life: After an exciting, nerve-racking, tiring orientation week. I sat down to count how many clubs and societies I had joined. I’ll tell you the number is 15, but chances are I forgot about some of them, so the total may be more. My advice: don’t. Anything less than 10 is a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/02/chapter-six-book-clubs-and-night-markets-jinghan

Chapter Five: Labs and Logs (~jinghan)
Note from the Author: I’m feeling like you readers out there are needing some insight into the study life of a science student (as opposed to my venting about my daily struggles) so here’s your run down on attending laboratory classes in physics! I was riding the train to my Monday classes at the VCA. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/01/chapter-five-labs-and-logs-jinghan

How to make friends in lectures (~jinghan)
There is nothing quite as exciting as looking forward to a lecture because of the people you will see there. Now that I have friends around uni, socializing seems so effortless. However, my memory of those frist few weeks where each day was a lonely struggle through a sea of strangers reminds me that meting and getting to know people is one of the biggest challenges of uni. [...] So here's some advice to those of you who will go to uni some time in the future and for those of you who sometime still find yourself in your own company during classes...blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/04/01/how-to-make-friends-in-lectures-jinghan

If You're Feeling Sinister… (Cara)
Whew. First four weeks done and dusted, everyone! Rejoice, sing glory and make your heathen sacrafices of thanksgiving. Do whatever it is that you do when you’re glad, because the first round of assignments have gone in! Oh, Science students will probably start self-righteously bleating about how they’ve been doing assessments since they were neonates, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/03/29/if-youre-feeling-sinister-cara

"I hate everything all about you" (Pris)
I’m going to put this into context because I’m sure a whole heap of you guys are in the same situation transport-wise: I take public transport to get to uni and I thought this was a pro because it was convenient and environmental and … good. BUT!!! Words cannot express how much I hate myki…but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/03/29/i-hate-everything-all-about-you-pris

Where are Books? – that light bequeathed/ to Beings else forlorn and blind!
Head nod to fellow Melb!bloggers sitting in the Monday morning creative writing lecture. I tagged along with a friend, so, shh, don’t tell anyone I’m here. The weeks have passed and I’ve survived. I still struggle to find my tutorial week after week but I can find the closest source of Coffee blind folded and […]
