Fahrenheit 451 (Daniel)
Find it. I double dare you, I triple dare you to find this book at a bookshop. This is a book you cannot find new within Australia at all. Why? Publishers don’t publish it anymore in Australia. Which is really strange because for a book about censorship it’s interesting how ironic it is that we […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/08/12/fahrenheit-451-daniel

The earth trembled [Vincent]
Did anyone else feel the slight earthquake at around 9 pm this evening ? I was at my parents’ shop, sitting down on a chair, and didn’t think it was anything unusual… FYI, Melbourne (and Australia in general) is usually considered far removed from any possibility of earthquakes. See here for a recent report on […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/06/the-earth-trembled

Time (Yuan)
This year has gone by surprisingly fast. Only 4 more weeks, swotvac, exam block and we’re done. Amazing… The med student’s much deserved 1 week off had come and gone (the other lucky students get 2, which is totally not fair). I spent it volunteering for SWOT (Student Welfare Outreach Team) and tutored VCE students […] -
Halcyon [nicola]
Like schools, we have the next two weeks off. The first day to celebrate the wonderful moments of following two weeks were spent wandering around Ikea with my family kitting out one of the rooms at home which has so far acted like a ‘whatever’ room. Now we just have to figure out how to […] -
just feathers [nicola]
Right now I’m trying to stuff 3 strawberry flavoured cream wafer biscuits into my mouth at the same time. It is quite hard. *waits about 10 seconds* But do-able. Not that you really needed to know that. This week there was voting taking place for the student union. With all the elections and everything its […] -
Pray (Yuan)
Freedom! That’s the first thing I can think of when I sat down to write this post. The last two weeks have just been… hellish, to be honest. Last week, I had a 2,500 words assignment to write and for the first time ever, I actually had problem reaching the word limit whereas before, it […] -
Under pressure
Life has been… okay. Semester 2 is sort of starting to pan out the same way semester 1 has. I’m slowly drowning in the pile of lecture notes, feeling more stupid each time I turn up to lectures and oh, there’s still that assignment I have yet to start planning for. So yes, life is […] -
If tomorrow never comes (Yuan)
Then I’ll be a very happy girl. Finally, exams are over! I thought I would never be able to get through them but yes, they’re finished. *sigh* Sorry for deserting this site for so long. The last few weeks have been hectice. There’s only so much a person can cram into 24 hours and still […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/06/19/if-tomorrow-never-comes-yuan

*smirk*
So the semester is finally over…well for me that is (having Fridays off is pretty awesome) 😛 I’ve been reflecting on the events and I’ve realised that time has gone a lot more faster than it did back in high school. Back in high school there was actually drama and time spent doing nothing, whilst […] -
the password is: welcome [nicola]
Is it possible to believe that yet another day is over? I find myself wondering where on earth did 11 weeks just go? 11 weeks! I could be a trained ski instructor by now! or rather, could be finishing off on what may possibly be the best (and worst) semester at uni – so far. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/05/23/the-password-is-welcome
