Questions. [ASH]
Why am I getting progressively more and more tired this week? You live an hour and a half away from the city, you wake up like 3 hours before the lecture. And .. Connex. Why is there no reception at Union House? There’s probably lead in the walls or something. What do those cubey things […] -
Late, as usual (Peech)
Hello, fellow first years. I procrastinated writing my first post (due to nerves, panic, new-stuff overload, ah!) and now I feel guilty about being slack and slightly intimidated by the standards set by the other bloggers. Phew! So, let me introduce myself. My name is Peech, and I’m… not really a first year, since I’ve […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/late-like-usual-peech

Keep it simple, stupid [Vincent]
KISS. Short is sweet. Brevity is elegance. Whatever. I’ve just left South Lawn, because streaks of rain are attacking me, although only mildly. Enough to persuade me to take leave anyway. Now waiting at Gate 10 for a friend who’s coming back up from the new Commerce building. Ahhh, I must say, having only one […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/keep-it-simple-stupid-vincent

Act it out, if you will [Vincent]
(This is a long entry – over 1400 words, wow. Kind of contradicts my disclaimer below then = = I’m sorry that I write about my boring all-and-sundry day, but I promise it’s only because the first two days of uni are especially memorable. Being the usually forgetful me, I shall have much less to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/act-it-out-if-you-will-vincent

Another Arts degree-wielding blogger (Jennifer)
...Saying, "Hi, I'm Bambi!" or, "I love your shoes!"**** for instance, are acceptable ways to start a conversation. Conversely, if you approach a stranger by telling them, "I have genital herpes" or "I'm thinking of starting a nunchucks club", you will simply appear to have a personality disorder...blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/03/another-arts-degree-wielding-blogger-jennifer

Mourning the loss of a blue jacket [Vincent]
(I write late at night, mostly because I get to wrench my laptop off my brother at 10 pm only…) It sort of dawned on me earlier this evening, that perhaps first days always have to make themselves memorable in later life by causing something undesirable to happen. At least in my case. Gah. I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/02/mourning-the-loss-of-a-blue-jacket

Soporific. [ASH]
I thought I’d do a quickie (heh.) coz’ the average attention span of people are something like 7 minutes. [quick fact. ding] Also decided to do dot points. That might make this easier for you. So readers, and fellow bloggers here it goes: When I meet people, they tend to call me Ash Catchum, the […] -
Pancake shake! (Natty)
So, my first day of uni is over 🙂 lalala. It was quite a good day actually! I was expecting the introductory lectures to be pretty boring but they were actually quite good, especially ‘An Ecological History of Humanity.’ Our lecturer pointed out how we’re a generation living through two massive global issues, climate change […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/02/pancake-shake-natty

Day 1, 3 lectures :p (Daniel)
So here I am again, updating faithfully to the 1st year blog. Hoo-rah, Hoo-rah. <- Indication of sleepyness and not sarcasm. If it was sarcasm it’d be a pretty bleak thing to uphold, this is more along the lines if the British had all snuggled up with a hot chocolate and blanket at the Battle […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/02/day-1-3-lectures-p

A few things regarding transition [Vincent]
This past week being O-Week, it’s basically been akin to spending entire days at uni before the semester has even started. Some highlights and notable things : Travelling to uni. I live out east where I’m halfway between two train lines yet nowhere near either. So it took a bit of time to figure out […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/02/28/a-few-things-regarding-transition
