Busy streets, cheap eats: first weeks (Cara)
I’ve got a much-battered, coffee-stained leaf of paper leering at me from my desk with the words ‘Things to tell the Blog’ scrawled on it, and it’s guilt-tripping me into writing to you. So hi, blog. Let me tell you some things. Since last week, things have been crazily busy. Some fun times were had, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/03/04/busy-streets-cheap-eats-first-weeks-cara

Advice From A Person You've Never Met.
Hello again, mystery audience. It seems like a long time since I have blogged, but maybe that’s because I haven’t checked back here… In… Oh… A day. University has indeed begun – properly this time – and already I feel like I’ve been doing it forever. Why, you ask? Well. Here is a list of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/03/03/advice-from-a-person-youve-never-met

A tale of two O-Weeks (Rinaldho)
So, now that O-Week has come and gone, what do we all think? Well, for me, as the title of my post indicates, I experienced two different O-Weeks, one was at the university itself, and the other, from the perspective of a Residential College student… Firstly, let me rant about the uni’s O-Week: OK, so […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/02/28/a-tale-of-two-o-weeks-rinaldho

Post 4: Instead of my usual rambling titles I was going to do something simple, but once I started this title there was no stopping me.
I know. I know. I’m posting like a maniac, but it’s probably because I usually have someone to bitch to every night (I used to share a room with my sister), and now I have a dog and some old people. Not that I dislike the dog, nor the old people. It’s just that one […] -
Chapter two: Voices (~jinghan)
Voices were everywhere, even my own voice seemed to be somewhat detached from my sense of self. I heard myself cheerfully asking for names, courses and subjects, pouring forth energetic conversation. It was orientation week and I was determined to be friendly and optimistic. I find myself in the line at the Student Centre waiting […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/02/28/chapter-two-voices-jinghan

Dance Dance
“O-Week”; a week in which the “freshers” (or “freshlings”) are somewhat subjected to an initiation or rite of passage into the college to which they now firmly belong. My O-Week was indeed no exception – I walked into my college and new home more than a little cautiously at 11 on Saturday morning, with that […] -
Blog Title II [carolina]
Please enjoy my succinct list of O-Week related tips and tricks: Tip #1: don’t loose the number of your host group leader because you will never ever find them and then be forced to join some other group that was kind of awkward and didn’t look like they believed you when you reassured them you […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/02/28/blog-title-ii-carolina

A Fresher No Longer… (Thus end the breaches of the Geneva Conventions)
Our closing ceremony just wrapped up. We are free. Free of unwashable Fresher shirts (although hundreds of sneaky washing loads have been done), free of being forced to dance at the drop of a hat, and free of endless vollies of water pistol fire. What a loss! College O-Week has been pretty intense, and I’m […] -
O-week in The Bubble.
I’ve been feeling immensely guilty all week for not having written up a blog yet. This week was officially the most hectic of my life. College O-week is pure insanity, its starting a day at 7 am and not having time to THINK (let alone write a blog) until midnight. But I’ve had a blast […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/02/27/o-week-in-the-bubble

Rambling O Week Post anyone?
Prologue I had lunch with a friend the day before O Week began and we had a healthy bitch about timetables and the complexity of dealing with subjects etcetera. I finally got my timetable through Alloc8 although a small amount of cringing occurred when I saw what my Wednesdays would be like. Friend is starting […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/02/27/rambling-o-week-post-anyone
