Summer (Silvia)
When I think of starting university, I have a certain image in my head. My friends and I on the South Lawn, splayed out like dead eagles in the warm sunshine and laughing like the idiots we are. However, the possibility of that happening is close to zilch. Just look at our recent weather. Why, […] -
February 11th, 2011 – The hunt for chocolate spice (Will)
So as today has been pretty boring, yet again, I’ve been craving a chilli hot chocolate. But good luck getting one where I live haha. So I’ve been setting little quests for myself at uni, like little things that I want to do throughout the year. Anyway seing as i like chilli hot chocolates soooo […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/02/11/february-11th-2011-the-hunt-for-chocolate-spice

February 10th, 2011 – Watching seconds change to minutes change to hours (Will)
Okay it has become extreamly apparent that time is slowing down. The wait for the 19th (moving day to Whitley) is starting to take its toll on my mind. I woke up this morning with the idea of doing as much as possible to fill in time. I decided hey I’ll vaccum the house, do […] -
Thrown on a tram (Silvia)
So hi, I’m Ouroboros, one of the 2011 bloggers, nice to meet you 😉 It’s probably best I introduce myself first, so you get a good idea of what I’m like before I plunge into my sad story (so that you’ll sympathise with me and not my cruel, cold-blooded friends). I’m eighteen years old and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/02/04/thrown-on-a-tram-ouroboros

Chapter Fourty-Three: Homefree (~jinghan)
You wouldn’t think it would be too different, but having a holiday as a uni student feels profoundly different to having a holiday after a year of school. I think it comes down to that extra bit of freedom. Clumsily trundling my way out of exam period I found that I could not stand the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/01/18/chapter-fourty-three-homefree

Renting, New Year's, Morons and Back To Class.
This post is about my new year’s, struggling to find an apartment, and OH MY GOD UNI STARTS IN ONE DAY WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF. So I’ll start off with the university-related thingy: summer semester is starting soon! I have to repeat Chemistry 2, which I could have done during Semester 2 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2011/01/03/renting-new-years-morons-and-back-to-class

Chapter Fourty-Two: Last (~jinghan)
It’s that time of year for last things: like last minute studying, last exams, last minute paper work and “at last it’s all over but what do I do with my life now?” I’m sitting on the bench in the vicinity of the Royal Exhibition Building flicking through my physics notes. I stop and skim […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/12/05/chapter-fourty-two-last-jinghan

Séduction – ceci n'étais pas que française…
Love is in the air at Melbourne Uni. Holding hands on South Lawn, sharing computers in the Bailleau, tables for two in union house; public displays of affection (henceforth referred to as “pda’s”) appear to be a growing phenomenon. Of course young love is a notoriously fickle thing, the perfectly volatile combination of hormones, interdependence, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/10/24/seduction-ceci-netais-pas-que-francaise

Dot-point dissolution
So today I bumped into not one, not two, but three people who I know read this blog, one of which was none other than Ron himself. This prompted me to feel very sheepish in regard to my severe lack of blogging (in more than one area, but more on that in a second), and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/09/15/dot-point-dissolution

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Art of Lecture Crashing (~jinghan)
The fact that a lecture hall is crammed full of people and the roll is never taken offers plenty of opportunity for lecture wagging, but have you considered the opposite? Lecture crashing. So after several weeks of my friend trying to convince someone to come to his climate change lecture with him (simply because it […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2010/08/22/chapter-twenty-eight-the-art-of-lecture-crashing-jinghan
