  1. 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 […]

  2. The Race…Is On! (Sophie)

    I know I have been fairly quiet for a while now….have been working a lot, preparing for 2007 (club commitements ect), and trying to spend as much time as possible with family and friends… However I had to announce my sheer excitement at how the US 2008 Presidential Campaign race is shaping up – with […]

  3. Red-letter day, black heart (Sophie)

    Well, I know at the very least I am due for an update on here – especially considering my last post which was when I was definitely worse for wear compared to my usual self. It has been a pretty difficult last week and a half. Fate did intervene in some respect and I don’t […]

  4. When you search for just a little [Hope] (Sophie)

    Well…the last few weeks have been busy to say the least. Add to that a lack of sleep, close friends with serious problems…and other life issues – well let’s just say my patience with people is being tested. I’m sick and tired of needing to be in 3 places at once, (Wednesdays are the worst)…and […]

  5. One of those moments + An Inconvenient Truth (Sophie)

    Have you ever had one of those times when you embarassed yourself, the other person said nothing though you were sure they noticed, so you drew attention to the form of embarassment and made a joke of it…..and then it turned out they didn’t actually notice anything in the first place?! JUST has one of […]

  6. How to be Australian (Jeremy)

    I remember, back in China, I was travelling with some (in fact, quite a lot) of our UK buddies through the very heart of Somewhere with Nice Noodles, Somewhere with Funny Name, China when one of them turned around to me and said, “Jez, you don’t sound like an Australian!”. I suddenly grasped what they […]

  7. What Happened? Vice-Chancellor’s E-mail. (Rick)

    Can anyone give me any infomation on exactly what has happened at the Univesity today? (or another day?) From: Vice-Chancellor Date: Aug 10, 2006 4:18 PM Subject: Say ‘no’ to vilification To: ugrad-users@studentlists.unimelb.edu.au Universities offer a forum for vigorous debate, including discussion of unpopular opinions. In Australia, as in the rest of the world, we […]

  8. Being colonised for the second time? (Sophie)

    It’s funny how sometimes commentators refer to Australia as a colony of the United States. Usually we as individuals, attempt to proclaim our independence…while at the exact same time our government continues its hand shakes and takes us further away from what it means to be “Australian” as we know it. I guess it’s world […]

  9. Is it just me, or are we all going bananas? (Sophie)

    I cannot believe this. Some complete THIEF stole $18 worth of Organic Bananas out of our family’s trolley at the Victoria Market yesterday. I am absolutely furious! I am enraged! This is just disgraceful! I mean I know how some theives there steal people’s trolleys to feed their family or something but to actually specifically […]

  10. Angry Man and other crazy antics. (Rick)

    I’m not sure how my other fellow bloggers write their entries, but I never do it all in one go. I’m fortunate enough to be able to write this post in my room, after my brother has been not doing his homework at home, so now I’ve got this computer for a while. It’s also […]
