The two week "break" (Gianina)
Although the 2-week non-teaching period for Melb Uni won’t be starting until this coming Monday, my ‘break’ has already started yesterday as I don’t have classes during Fridays. Here’s a rundown of my oh-so-fabulous day yesterday: woke up at about 9:30, eventually got up at 10 after unsuccessful attempts to go back to sleep, **fast […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/09/21/the-two-week-break

Smokin coffee
Cardboard model again, albeit in relatively more sophisticated lighting and geometry. Next week (and this weekend) is going to be a living hell. We’re talking about major assessments all due next week. It doesn’t help that mid-semesters for my breadth subject are usually done later than all other subjects; so that’s on next week too. […] -
Just to be different…
I’m going to include a picture on this post because as one adage goes, pictures convey a thousand words (or something like that). Of course, this could just be my subtle way of saying that I’m too lazy/busy to be writing a 1000 words here. This was the model I started with during week 1 in a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/09/04/just-to-be-different

On the brink of a nervous breakdown
I’m alive! Sorry for that over-the-top statement, but that summarises how I feel right now. By the end of last week, I thought surely I would have a nervous breakdown by week 5(this week) since I didn’t expect I would have so much presentations and deadlines across all subjects this week. But of course, that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/08/27/on-the-brink-of-a-nervous-breakdown

Medley: so far in the semester, crutches, and Open Day
With already 2 weeks gone, I am finding that even with the best of intentions, it’s getting harder and harder to manage my schedule. Sure, I have a “day off” during Fridays; even so, I have to do something uni-related so that I won’t be stuck with all that work from my subjects come weekends.

I just really have to blog about this…
Yeah, I am well aware that I have quite a few posts in this page already, but as the above title suggests, I just have to let this all out. Today has been full of surprises. Just when I was least expecting it, I received a call from my student centre regarding my mid-year application for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/07/18/i-just-really-have-to-blog-about-this

Happy 2nd year anniversary
And no, it’s not with some boyfriend or such. Yesterday was officially my 2nd year of calling Australia home. Strange enough, I was the only one who remembered. I told my mum this morning, and apparently she did forget that as of the 4th of July 2008, we can already accurately say that we’ve been […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/07/05/happy-2nd-year-anniversary

1/6 into my degree: thoughts after the exams
I can’t believe it. As of yesterday, I’m already done with exams. That’s. just. so. surreal. I was so ecstatic yesterday, even jumping up and down outside the REB. Then last night, it finally hit me. I’ve got no academic stuff to do, no work, and nothing at all planned to do for the next […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/06/25/16-into-my-degree-thoughts-after-the-exams

Time flies when…
you’re having fun. Or so they say. If so, I definitely am not having fun now. I found myself looking at my bedside clock a few too many times while studying early this morning, counting the minutes until I could go for a walk at 9am in the neighbourhood. It went something like this: 8:48- *sequential landscapes are blah […] -
When special consideration is not so special after all
*Sigh of relief* Update on my 12-page analysis: it’s over with and submitted as of 3:15pm today The problem? It’s a day late because my body finally gave in to a very persistent little virus during the exact same day I was supposed to hand in my assignment. The apparent solution: My tutor told me […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/05/23/when-special-consideration-is-not-so-special-after-all
