School days
It’s another day in the classroom. As you may recall, I’m studying my Master in Education. I’m currently doing casual relief teaching, which involves teaching/supervising students in a school. It’s good being in the classroom, especially when you’re studying, because you’re able to apply what you’re learning and see the visible benefit of your studies. […] -

2020 vision and a little hindsight
In defence of this year, 2020 has been a year of growth, of opportunity and of experience. The year, like many other catastrophic world events, has humbled us and brought us together to remember the important elements of life. It has long been touted as the most important aspect to one’s life, and that is […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/12/31/2020-vision-and-a-little-hindsight

The sun’s come out to play
The sun, the glorious sun has come out to play, to lighten our Christmas period with warmth and festivities. I can’t really think of much to write in this blog.

If you enjoy living in Melbourne, you’re probably a coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is a quintessential part of life and an important part of student life aka caffeine hit to keep you awake during early morning lectures. So turn on the chill, café music and let’s enjoy the summer holidays. They’re nearly officially here and […] -
Formula H1 Racing
I would have loved to have been a Formula 1 racing car driver, leaning into those curves around the sharp bends in the track and speeding along the straights. Instead, I became a lawyer and then a teacher. I’ve had a number of different jobs, sometimes after one contract ends, I feel like calling out […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/11/03/formula-h1-racing

Let it be a beautiful mess
“It’s a beautiful day”, (U2). It’s Monday, the day that signals new beginnings, a new week and renewed commitment to our dreams and for some, diets. In our new world, the world’s been rewritten, reinvented, and reimagined. The world seems a quieter place, at least for me. I move slowly about the world, practically on […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/10/12/let-it-be-a-beautiful-mess
