EEG volunteer experience
I am honored that I can contribute my EEG information to the development of neuroscience, although this experiment took me 3 hours. The happiest thing is that I got a $30 voucher:) As a psychological student, it is easy to find experimental recruitment information on a website called REP. So some of the experiments will […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2022/08/14/eeg-volunteer-experience

You’re an official blogger for ‘The First Year Diaries’, you should be proud of yourself. Did you really think that […] -
Back to the grind
I am over the holidays and everything else that I was so caught up in last week, now it’s study time. Given that Cat is busy with her Vet visits, I am having to fix the assignments myself and I even have to sit through the lectures alone 😵 She’ll be ok by next week, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2021/04/14/back-to-the-grind

Holidays are still here
Yup, they are still here. Had the most amazing time last weekend doing nothing 😁 A much needed respite from the meetings and etc etc etc, you get the idea. The most complex decision I had to make was if I wanted to make cup noodles for lunch or stick to my burritos 🌯 Didn’t […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2021/04/06/holidays-are-still-here

So it begins!
Was feeling lucky that my work schedule had worked out to allow me enough time to relax and finish studies… until I saw the tutorials schedule with tracked attendance and participation, all in work hours 🙇♀️ Can’t even drop the subject as it’s mandatory before the project next semester. Now I’ll have to accomplish double […] -

Lockup woes
They are harder for me than most people as I don’t have a family here and I end up being locked up in my room, not seeing humans for days, sometimes weeks on end. Coupled with restrictions on food that doesn’t last a whole week, closed libraries, limited recreation, no outdoor exercise for a dozen […]
