  1. Had a ball! Kudos, M-ASS (Simone)

    I would like to start this blog by acknowledging that, since I wrote my last post, I have been proved wrong on several accounts. To start with: I applaud Melbourne Arts students for their fabulous costumes at the Arts Bookworm Ball. They were crazy, out-there, and overall, just plainly awesome. From a table full of Madeleine’s […]

  2. Complementary G-string, anybody? (Simone)

    I’ve been trying to come up with some costume ideas for the Arts Bookworm Ball, and so far, all I’ve thought of is that if I were a guy, I would totally be dressing up as Mr Darcy – he’s the ultimate bachelor (clearly! But maybe I wouldn’t know this if I was a guy?), […]

  3. Oppaa! (Simone)

    “Simone? That’s you, yeah? I think they’ve put you on the wrong table,” a girl in a sleek black dress had tapped her red fingernails on the list of names. “There must have been a mix up… I’m so sorry.” I stared at the list of names on my new table, realising suddenly that I […]

  4. "At uni, you will have loads of free time, won't have to study, and will spend every night out at bars getting crunk with your new mates", they said (Simone)

    A friend’s dad recently remarked, ‘Oh, you’re doing Arts, pfff! So that means you’re spending every night out at bars getting sloshed!’ Ahem, no, not really! For some reason a lot of people seem to think that uni students, especially Arts, are always out at crazy parties, but I’ve done a mini-survery of my fellow Arts […]

  5. I wanted to quote the Eulogy Song but none of the best lines were appropriate. (Victoria)

    Yes, I was one of those people who loved the Chasers’ Eulogy Song. I bring this up in light of the whole UMSU/Thatcher celebration debacle. For those who don’t know what’s going on you can read the UMSU statement here and a Farrago piece on the matter here, but basically UMSU put forward a motion to […]

  6. Curing those post-holiday, Sunday night blues (Simone)

    It seems I haven’t written for a while again! To get to where I am sitting now, you must fast forward me from: two blissful 12pm Saturday morning sleep-ins, a brief Autumn holiday with my family up to Hepburn/Daylesford, one half-finished Power assignment, a signed, sealed (and yet to be delivered) poem and notes (hallelujah! Always […]

  7. The Official Week! (Kiryll)

    How was everyone’s first week? I spoke to a few friends and they have all really liked the start of uni. The official start, the lectures and tutorials, the LMS lecture slides and Echo recordings. I am sure all of us are loving the social uni aspect: there have been thousands of BBQs and even […]

  8. O-Wightey, Here We Are (Kiryll)

    Good evening! How is everybody resting after a week of absolute mayhem?! I sure was tired after what had been a 5 day marathon of people, smiles, people, rain, tents, South Lawns, queues and more people! My experience didn’t have pub crawls and compressed bodies jumping in unison at central locations in the CBD. But […]

  9. I think someone must be having a party down here because I don't recognise anyone. (Victoria)

    The joys me sharing a building with hundreds of strangers. Really, living with strangers has been great so far. I’ve met so many lovely people from countries and universities I would never have had a chance to. I also had the opportunity to spend two glorious hours watching Nickelodeon yesterday. Although, there’s this one guy […]

  10. O, what a week! (Simone)

    Somehow, it is already Friday – we have reached the end of a rainy, exciting, Orientation week! Last Friday, which only feels like yesterday, I wondered how I would be feeling by now. More nervous about the start of the semester, or less? But thankfully, it is safe to say that if anything, O-week has […]
