The Best Wake Up [ASH]
Try this. 1) Hook up your Macbook to a sound system and set the volume to reasonably loud. 2) Use an alarm application (Aurora) and set it to wake you up at a reasonable time, say 8:45. 3) Make sure that iTunes will wake you up with Coldplay – Life in Technicolour. 4) Sleep.

Things are looking up
In stark contrast to the previous post, I’m actually feeling pretty good about stuff at the moment. Sure, I don’t really have time to be writing a blog entry right now, but what the heck, 20% of my English mark is almost finished, 5% of my physics mark is looking pretty ok, and my other […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/25/things-are-looking-up

How do you define a brown horse? (Peech)
…Apparently, it’s one which isn’t predominantly black. Just… let’s say a third black. Or half black. If it’s three-quarters you may be pushing it. It seems ridiculous, but if you get a horse’s color wrong on the identification papers, you could face getting into serious trouble. Like getting sued for half a million dollars, for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/23/how-do-you-define-a-brown-horse

Dr. Phil, Octomum, and boys doin' the twist (Jennifer)
I don’t care about other people’s medical afflictions; nor do I expect them to give a furry rodent’s behind about mine. In my family, the attitude to serious illness is ‘give it a rub and get over it’. (Seriously. My father once contracted a leg infection that caused his entire leg to turn black, and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/23/dr-phil-octomum-and-boys-doin-the-twist

uni nights
why does every uni activity ie: Arts shindigs, have to take place on a Wed? do they not realise that so many people live in the ‘burbs, and have trouble finding transport to these things! in saying that, who is going on the M-ASS river cruise? it sounds amazing (well, the dress code could prove […] -
Meh! [Daniel]

yarghrgh! [ASH]
T’SUP! It is 3.35am, Saturday morning. I’ve been (geekishly) downlo- .. I mean, ‘legally obtaining’ Season 2 of America’s Best Dance Crew (yeah I know season 3 is out, I’m behind). Just glimpsed the first half of the ‘live auditions’ bit. Speaking of first glimpses, it also seems that most of us are now starting […] -
Question
Why are so many bloggers college students? There are at least, what, four? five? Also, why do I keep meeting so many college students? Now that’s over with, let’s talk about CLUBS AND SOCIETIES. What, if anything, have you joined and why? What has been good, and why? If you joined nothing, why? I joined […] -
have you ever noticed…
does anyone not believe you when you say you’re sick anymore? I just spent the day trudging (yes trudging, i couldn’t even walk at a normal rate) around campus, and still people looked at me suspiciously when i replied ‘eh. been sick all weekend’ to their cheerily and completely formulaic question “How are ya?” .

Boring news from the nail biter (Natty)
I have started biting my nails again. This really annoys me because it took me three very dedicated months to kick the habit in the first place and then after just two weeks at uni I’m stressing out enough over work to like, totally ruin my french manicure ya know? Haha, I am being purposefully […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/17/boring-news-from-the-nail-biter-natty
