New Year, New Resolutions, New Approaches
A late Happy New Year to all! I’ve always wondered how some people are restless and end up changing their course several times until they finally find something that feels ‘right’ to them. Now I’m struck with that feeling. Recently I’ve been toying with the possible idea of aiming to do Medicine and being a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/01/04/new-year-new-resolutions-new-approaches

Heh. Results.
So results are released today (tomorrow for some) and I don’t know if it’s karmic forces or a simple stroke of luck but I’ve PASSED ALL MY SUBJECTS! I actually did as well as I expected on my Music Performance (74 – H2B) despite several misfortunes which I’ll definitely remember to avoid next year – […] -
You'd think there'd be more Uni-related stuff to blog about.
Right now I’m threading through some music I re-wrote on Sibelius because they didn’t have the instrumental part in the library (grrrrr!). It’s the 1st Mvt of Shostakovich’s Sonata in D Minor, which I like because it invokes feelings of nostalgia. Granted, there’s an angry part in the middle somewhere – but at least it […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/12/02/youd-think-thered-be-more-uni-related-stuff-to-blog-about

Musings.
Last Saturday I went out and bought an Asus EeePC 1000H and quite frankly I wish I’d known of it sooner. It’s making a lot of my work easier to do now that I don’t have to share the main desktop computer with my brother. If you don’t have a laptop, the model I have […] -
The 'Crunch' Weeks
Duh, I’m sure we’re all starting to feel them. Assignments are due soon, some of us have or have done mid-semester exams and there’s a cold going around just as the sun is ACTUALLY getting around to shining in the sky! Yes, I’m sick, if you didn’t pick up the sarcasm. Thee dreaded cold decided […] -
A realisation.
One thing I immediately noticed that was different about having a 9am start as opposed to a 10/11am start was simply, the overcrowding on trains. Part of me is kicking itself that I hadn’t realised that sooner, since I had already known that with the introduction of the Early Bird ticket for our public transport […] -
Ack.
As I always like to say, life is full of ups and downs. For today, the up was that I didn’t have to come into Uni until 4:15pm for String Class which usually runs until 6:15pm but rarely finishes at that time. The down was that I missed getting my preferred tutorial time for my […] -
Studyschmudy
One of the things that’s annoying about being a Music student (especially one heading for a Performance major) is probably finding suitable environments and times to practise. As a person who regularly gets up around 6-7am even on weekends, I’m constantly frustrated at the fact that I can’t practise anywhere in this house in the […] -
*smirk*
So the semester is finally over…well for me that is (having Fridays off is pretty awesome) 😛 I’ve been reflecting on the events and I’ve realised that time has gone a lot more faster than it did back in high school. Back in high school there was actually drama and time spent doing nothing, whilst […] -
Like a coiled viper….he strikes!
(Johnny English never ceases to amuse me). I’m sure most of us are feeling the stress of the exams creeping up, of course for me it isn’t helped by the fact that I have 3-4 assignments due at the end of the semester – however I can’t really complain, for the only subject I really […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/05/21/like-a-coiled-viperhe-strikes
