  1. Inky fingers and orange juice

    I hadn’t realised how slack I had been throughout the semester until I started to revise for my last exam (from the 23rd until the 25th!!!!!! Has really kept this Arts child on her feet). I had every intention of simply r e v i s i n g but that has quickly turned into […]

  2. The descent

    We’re SO close to the end now!! This semester’s passed by very quickly, but that’s usually how I feel once something is over, so maybe that’s my relief speaking. I’ve almost made it through my 2000-word essay grind, too, and, once again, my relief is piping up!! What the end of this semester AND the […]

  3. Look out

  4. Spring has sprung

    Historically, I’ve associated September with sunshine, flowers and school holidays, though now, my conceptualisation has shifted to snow (!!!!), showers (from the sky, but also of the conventional kind) and NO BREAK OF ANY KIND. I’m really hanging out for mid-semester break, so that I can complete the 150 pages from W7 and -8 that […]

  5. It’s the climb

    I have more than 6,500 words to write over the next six weeks, and probably like 150,000 words to read to inform my writing, and I’ve written about 10, and read approximately 3,000 🥳 🥳 Love !!   The prospect of mid-semester break (which isn’t even mid-semester break, more like ¾-semester break, so pls, UniMelb, […]

  6. 2020—eek

    Hello !!   It’s a pretty nifty thing to have been chosen to be a blogger for the First Year Diaries, though I can’t say that it didn’t hurt just a little to see that it’s no longer The Jaffy Diaries :(( but the sentiment remains, and here we are, in the middle of an […]
