Download limits, and why they suck. (Suzanne)
My college gives us 1GB of downloads per semester for our internet connection. If we use more than our download limit, we pay 5c per MB for the excess. I spend far more time than is healthy reading random articles on Wikipedia and compulsively checking my email. Long story short, I am going to be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/05/27/download-limits-and-why-they-suck-suzanne

Why the Melbourne Model makes no sense to me (Suzanne)
Finished my PPL essay yesterday, so I’ve decided that I deserve a day of procrastination, even though I have my LMR essay due on Monday. Anyway. This morning, I open the paper, and I find a newspaper article which says that because the uni’s worried about losing talented students after the Melbourne Model switch, they’re […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/04/17/why-the-melbourne-model-makes-no-sense-to-me-suzanne

Happy holidays! (Suzanne)
College emptied out yesterday, and I’m one of the 10 people still here. In other words, I can run wildly amok in the college, hog the practise rooms forever, not have to wait in line for laundry or showers, not have to share the TV with people watching McLeod’s Daughters/people vegetating in front of Halo […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/04/06/happy-holidays-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

Oh, whoops! (Jeremy)
Hello everybody! Sorry about that! I thought that we, much like Anna Nicole Smith, had shut down for a bit of a rest. Unfortunately the world does actually keep turning over December, January and February – which probably explains this cyclical day/night phenomenon which I’ve been continuing to experience – and when I logged back […] -
Anybody Here? (Johanna)
Almost Christmas. Come to the Christmas department at Myer and buy things, preferrably from me. On second thoughts, don’t. I’ve only had three shifts and I still don’t know how to use the cash registers properly. It seems silly to use ‘Christmas’ as a descriptor, seeing as it is made up of “Christ” and “mass” […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/12/08/anybody-here-johanna

“My friends call me Jez, but YOU can call me Sir Dishbitch…” (Jeremy)
I think Dad summed it up best. I’d come home rather bedraggled from a fun day’s work, slaving behind a dishwasher for a sum of money so small even the ABC would knock it back, and I launched into an enormous tirade about the boss. I try not to speak ill of my previous managers […] -
Relieved (Sophie)
I have a job with David Jones still!!! I am very relieved. I finally got hold of the HR lady and after being firm but pleasant…I managed to get a training time AFTER exams (after a process where she told me twice that nothing after exams existed!). So I am pretty thrilled. I still have […] -
Problem (Sophie)
I’m a bit stressed right now. I don’t know what to do. I have this Xmas Casual position lined up at David Jones…but I just realised the training days I’m meant to attend are SMACK BANG IN MY MOST IMPORTANT LAST LECTURES for subjects. The only other option is training SMACK BANG in the middle […] -
Random Tripe (Chris)
This must be a miracle – two updates within a week! It’s possibly because I’m sitting here at a Uni computer with broadband and having little else to do. Broadband is the coolest thing ever. If I had it at home I would go absolutely crazy downloading things. Legally, of course. Relevance to this blog: […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/09/27/random-tripe-chris
