Summer is here at last!
I was overjoyed when I walked out of the Chemistry exam. I knew I screwed up the paper so badly but at least a pass was guaranteed. After one long year, I’ve gotten to love this uni a bit more, met a couple more friends, had a few somersaults in study and social life and, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/18/summer-is-here-at-last

It's the age of social unrest
Just when my personal problematic period ended, my friends (at least three) started theirs. Socially: I have no idea what to do except to give them my opinions – and clearly my views are not compatible with theirs, so perhaps I am better as a listener. Maybe I should listen more, and express myself a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/09/its-the-age-of-social-unrest

Not sure if this has ever happened to you but…
For some reason, my Physics fellows misread my “Mon” thinking it was “Tues” and ended up handing my test to the wrong tutor. When my tutor handed out the tests, mine was nowhere to be found. Lucky he found it later (phew…). It was my first Monday back (after 2 weeks break). And before that, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/07/not-sure-if-this-has-ever-happened-to-you-but

"New" is good
I just couldn’t believe in my ears when the Physics staff told my prac group that we will investigate the famous photoelectric effect in the week beginning 13 Aug. They said this is a trial which will lead up to the new teaching scheme which the School of Physics is considering. It’s simply AWESOME. Regardless […] -
Semester 2 is here!
Semester 2 is heftier in terms of workloads and academic requirements, I reckon. But it’s to be expected. What I absolutely LOVE about this semester is the absence of Powerpoint presentations in Chemistry and Physics (hope Maths will soon follow suit). Instead it’s the old whiteboard style where the lecturers actually show you how things […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/07/25/semester-2-is-here

Results
Bit too late to fuel excitement now but YES, I PASSED with all H1s. I was thinking of failing at least one of them. Phew… guess I’ll still be allowed to do all advanced subjects in semester 2. YAYY. -
06 Jul
When the date comes, fly to SIS.unimelb.edu.au and brace for the best or worst. Good luck, all Science fellows and everyone in other Faculties. I’ll stock up sleeping pills just in case… Au revoir -
When prompted "pull", do push… and vice versa
Ever fancied a door doing just that? Well, the ECR building has just the one for you. Just stroll through the campus to the Engineering shrine, walk up to level 3 and enter the computer lab (open to everyone but don’t log on unless you’re an ECR student). Another joyful post brought to you by […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/05/22/when-prompted-pull-do-push-and-vice-versa

Happy Easter, everyone!
Here it is: the long awaited Easter break, promising us more time to… catch up with the work and revise for exams (yay!?!). Nar, it’s a reality too sad to be true. So let’s look at the bright side: what is Easter all about? A friend of mine once upon a time told me it […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/04/08/happy-easter-everyone-2

Make uni experience more enjoyable
Here are a few tips to better your uni experience (WARNING: do these at your own risk): Smoke a pipe and respond to each point the professor makes by waving it and saying, “Quite right, old bean!” Wear X-Ray Specs. Every few minutes, ask the professor to focus the overhead projector. Sit in the front […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/03/29/make-uni-experience-more-enjoyable
