My U-Film is Finished!!! (Rick)
I’ve spent most of last weekend and this week completing the animation ‘Angry Man’ for the U-Film fest, rather than doing homework. It started to get a bit irritating in the end, sitting in front of computers for so long, and felt relieved when I finished it on Wednesday. I think that it will be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/08/27/my-u-film-is-finished-rick

Brass Monkeys! (Jeremy)
I thought Melbourne’s normal winter weather was pretty ordinary. There are a few consistent elements to Melbourne’s winter weather. Number one is absolute, constant cloud cover punctured by little three-minutes patches of bright sunlight (and it’s in this three-minute patch that you naturally choose what to wear for the day, and that how one ends […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/20/brass-monkeys-jeremy

Finally Feeling Like Holidays (Johanna)
How annoying. A couple of days ago, I was sent an email from another student at the university. The email basically accused me of being ungrateful, racist, pathetic, among other things. From what I could tell, the student was pretty much taking out all their issues of imagined inferiority on me. It was ridiculous, but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/15/finally-feeling-like-holidays-johanna

Emergency, Paging Doctor Beat! *dances* (Johanna)
What fun vacation has been.. not. I’m aching to get back; I need something to fill my days. I love reading the other blogger’s posts about how they can’t possibly fit anymore into their schedules. Sounds like how I used to be, but alas.. my group of friends have been flung in every direction and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/10/emergency-paging-doctor-beat-dances-johanna

The Agony and the Ecstasy (Jeremy)
I have one confession to make; despite playing AFL, I am also a soccer fanatic. I am one of those people who went into mourning when SBS lost the rights to the English Premier League to Pay-TV, I am one of those people for whom the A-League seems to have managed to breathe new life […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/13/the-agony-and-the-ecstasy-jeremy

Come sail your ships around me, And burn your bridges down (Sophie)
Nothing like a bit of Nick Cave to pick you up in a dark moment – okay, perhaps most would take that comment as sarcasm, but in truth I adore his music and find it uplifting despite its dark edges. I have just been listening to “The Weeping Song” and “The Ship Song” – two […] -
Heaven Knows.. Anything Goes! (Johanna)
*dances* Things are starting to look up a little! I’m auditioning for Anything Goes for the Geelong Lyric Theatre Society. It will be brilliant – I’m auditioning for Hope Harcourt, the debutante ingenue (she sings It’s Delovely with her love interest, Billy Crocker). So, if I do get in, I’ll also have to travel to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/06/heaven-knows-anything-goes-johanna

Welcome To The Monkey House (Jeremy)
I can almost picture it. Over one hundred years ago, a group of men sat around a table, preferably each sporting a decent amount of facial hair (as was the fashion at the time) and perhaps a monocle just to complete the picture. They were setting up what eventually became the Australian Football League, and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/04/welcome-to-the-monkey-house-jeremy

Musical Daydreams (Johanna)
I feel like I need a lifetime away from university right now .. On Monday afternoon, I was in my bedroom packing things, and I accidentally stepped backwards onto a tube of moisturiser that had fallen onto the floor. It sort of ‘squooshed’ beneath my foot; when I turned around, a jet of moisturiser had […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/04/26/musical-daydreams-johanna

Cravings (Johanna)
Last night at around 8pm, I suddenly had a craving of the worst sort – I wanted to play World of Warcraft, the hideously geeky game my boyfriend used to be a fan of. It was horrible – I ran down to Kmart in my pajamas to see if they had it. They were out […]
