Intermission (Eleanor)
You’ve survived half of your first semester at university! Pat on the back and a high-five for getting through so far- because wow, is it different from high school. No one telling you to hand in homework. No one telling you to be on time. No lockers, no backpacks, no uniform. At first this seemed like […]

Arriving into April (Eleanor)
So, somehow we’ve made it. Four weeks in and ready to face the assessment wave after SWOT vac – Study With Out Teaching vacation. Hopefully it presented a chance to redeem all those missed lectures and work hard, otherwise it can become a Silly Waste Of Time instead. Almost like a flashback to the last […]

Ironic
It’s quite ironic isn’t it (for fellow bloggers anyway) that the last post here is titled “beware of scams”? Even more so probably if it were “beware of spams”. It’s already O-week again next week. How time flies (I reckon I’ve said this a number of times already). Pretty soon, there will be new first […]

2nd year, 2nd last year
(**This might be my last post for the blog for as of today, I can already scoot over to ‘Back for Seconds’… but come to think of it, I did really look forward to making a post about tips for 1st year students so I might just save that for another post**) I just realised […]

Moving On. Moving Out. Moving In. (Gianina)
A week-and-a-half through my holidays (yeah, yeah i know. it’s getting obvious from my blog posts that I have this compulsion to always quantify stuff, especially time), I am slowly getting bored already. Uni takes up at least 60% of my time so once my classes ended, I am left with not much to do. One […]

Taking care of that whole enrolment business (Gianina)
It is done! Having just finished my last exam yesterday, this semester is officially over for me. I was able to sort of guess the topic for the ‘essay’ (for Beginner’s level, 150 words’ worth of writing is considered an essay) for German beforehand, so it was no great shock during the exam day itself. […]

I would like to buy a hamburger (Gianina)
[edit: make that 7(!) notifications, as of November the 19th] One down, two to go. I have just finished my 2nd last project for the year, and *gasp* have submitted it a day early. I just have one other project to go plus an exam for next week then I’m done for the year. Like some other […]

In Limbo… interrupted (Gianina)
Imagine yourself in your last few weeks of 1st year uni. You have just gotten yourself a relatively well-paying job, and your other commitments are going well. Then suddenly everything goes upside down because of one word: Cancer. That’s what happened to me just recently. At the end of week 10, I was diagnosed with blood […]

A Week Off (Gianina)
Pardon my absence here of late in the blog. I actually started a post a week and a half ago, but I never got to actually publishing the saved copy. You see, I was in the hospital for a week – which is really bad timing as there was just 3 weeks to go before […]

Countdown looming… one week of 'break' left
Ahh the Royal Melbourne Show… mass consumerism at its best (or worst). But who am I to talk? I did purchase one of those oh-so-disposable showbags on impulse. I had this idea that it won’t seem like I went to the Show unless I buy a showbag. Anyways, it was the very first time I’ve […]
