Second year!
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another year of the blog! (Speaking of blogs, do any of the admins/other bloggers know when we get moved to the Second Year blog?) It’s great to be back on campus again, and so exciting to see new first years and realise how far you’ve come since you were […] -
Obligatory end-of-year post (Suzanne)
Well, the results have come in, and I have officially passed first year. I originally had a long, very detailed blow-by-blow essay on each and every aspect of the transition from high school to university, but reviewing the draft just now, I realised it was overly wordy, completely pretentious, and filled with trite, largely meaningless […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/12/10/obligatory-end-of-year-post-suzanne

Summer job blues (Suzanne)
So, I am back in Hong Kong, and first year is all over *sheds tear*. Anyway. I am rather strapped for cash, this year has not been kind on the wallet, and there are numerous things I have to buy in order to advance my education/job prospects in future (several of them being new instruments.

Damn core subjects. (Suzanne)
I just got a call for applications and an advert in my uni email for Institutions in International Law, a subject they offer at the law school here. Essentially, in this subject, you fly out to Geneva as a class of 25 over winter break, you tour the UN and the WTO and the Red […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/07/damn-core-subjects-suzanne

I am highly amused (Suzanne)
The alumni website for the university has a list of prominent alumni. Of course, this isn’t an exhaustive catalogue. For an updated list, it tells you, you should go visit the respective Wikipedia page. It even provides the link. Ah, what a brave new world we live in!blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/25/i-am-highly-amused-suzanne

Con/VCA merger, essay grades, and bread (Suzanne)
So, I got an email from the Dean of the Faculty of Music today, and apparently, the Victorian College of the Arts School of Music is merging with the Faculty of Music at Melbourne University (aka ‘the Con’). Technically, they were both part of the University of Melbourne, but the VCA continued to provide its […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/24/convca-merger-essay-grades-and-life-suzanne

Right now, I am supposed to be…. (Suzanne) – add your own!
1. Watching my friends perform in Monteverdi’s Orfeo, because today was closing night. 2. Practising. As always. 3. Making a dent in six weeks behind-ness of law reading 4. Making my concise reference notes for open book law exams 5. Writing scholarship applications for next year 6. Applying for competitions/jobs 7. Calling my parents 8.

It's a small world after all (Suzanne)
Today, one of my friends from primary school in Sydney, who I haven’t seen since I was 7, added me on Facebook (she now goes to Macquarie University). A few weeks ago, I realised that a girl on my corridor hangs out with a guy who now lives in Medley, who I haven’t seen in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/21/its-a-small-world-after-all-suzanne

"So, do you have hobbies?" (Suzanne)
“So, do you have hobbies outside of music? No, wait, you probably don’t, do you? Music students usually don’t.” — a tutor of mine. *headdesk* It’s true! I practise music, I read books on music history, I sing music in choir, I think about music theory, I listen to music, I compose music, I write […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/14/so-do-you-have-hobbies-suzanne

Why 'opening' hours here turn me into a grumpy cow. (Suzanne)
About a month ago, I applied for a credit card. I was told that I’d get it in 5-10 working days. So today, wondering why it hadn’t arrived yet, I thought I’d go harass the bank staff about it. Wanting to be relatively efficient, I thought I’d log onto my internet banking account and check […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/05/opening-hours-suzanne
