I feel like such a spammer for posting again so soon, but…. (Suzanne)
When I first got here, I had to take a musicianship test for aural studies tutorial placement. One of the questions was an aural analysis of a recording of a piece of music. Today I was listening to a Philip Glass CD. (Philip Glass is a contemporary American composer who was one of the main […] -
Why I feel like a nerd (Suzanne)
It has recently occurred to me how few things I do outside of school now that music is actually my main academic thing rather than extra-curricular. Basically, my day looks like this: Learn solfege for Aural Studies. Go to lectures. Practise. Go to rehearsal. Practise. Go to another lecture. Start law reading. Get distracted during […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/03/31/why-i-feel-like-a-nerd-suzanne

Blog Number 3 (Georgie)
Things I achieved this week: 1. Watched all 6 ‘Rocky’ movies, including ‘Rocky Balboa’ – awesome! I think my favourite is the third one with Mr T, but a tough choice. As I type I’m listening to ‘Gonna Fly Now’. 2. Bought a new dress on Saturday, which is a massive achievement because I don’t […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/03/25/blog-number-3-georgie

Things which Suzanne should be doing instead of writing in this blog (Suzanne, obviously)
1. Her law skills assignment, due on Monday, which involves reading about a case where some pizza delivery kid got mugged by his customer and then sued his boss for making him deliver the pizza and get mugged. (Honestly, after three weeks of law school, you start to think that you can sue anybody for […] -
Snatching a breath…. (Suzanne)
Before coming to Melbourne, I spent a few months studying Chinese in Beijing because of the gap between the Hong Kong school calendar, which ends in June, and the Australian one, which starts in February. My clarinet teacher in Beijing used to use a phrase called ‘tou qi’ （偷气） a lot when referring to breathing […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/03/14/snatching-a-breath

No you're not the late one, I am! (David)
it’s been three weeks since O-Week and I am still undecided about uni. I am still not sure whether I like it or not. Since uni began, my emotions have fluctuated a gzillion times per day. For example, I would feel like crap in the morning if I have to get up at 7am for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/03/13/no-youre-not-the-late-one-i-am

New beginnings (Zoë)
University, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Arts/Science student Zoë. Her five year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Or, should that be to boldly go where millions of other university students have gone before? […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/03/09/new-beginnings-zoe

A Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart (Lara)
Ahh talk about blog rejection!! Must have meant I was studying uber hard…or had lots to do… haha sort of. I’d like to think so anyway 😛 Well where do I start :O I guess the last few weeks of college. Val dinner was lots of fun; it’s always so nice to see everyone at […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/12/14/a-thank-you-from-the-bottom-of-my-heart-lara

FINISHED (Chris)
Gee golly gosh, I don’t think I’ve had such a weight off my shoulders since I finished the HSC. All of my assessments are done, everything handed in to the best of my rushed-to-finish-do-tutors-really-care-about-word-count standard. I’m reasonably happy, but as always, I won’t really know until the lovely Thursday of December 7th. I am aiming […] -
If I Pass… (Johanna)
Most of my ideas about what is going to happen next year are prefixed by this – “If I pass..”. It’s worrying. In high school people would go out of their way to make me pass.. there was a particularly nasty time I remember when I was coughing up half a lung from a horrible […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/11/01/if-i-pass-johanna
