  1. M&C BLOGGERS – LET US MEET, and other nonsense (Cristina)

    Excuse the cruise control in the title, I just felt I needed to capture the attention of the audience in question. I’ll get that out of the way first off (the rest of the blog is normal…well, depending on your definition of “normal”): M&C BLOGGERS We have come to the conclusion that we all share […]

  2. Blog Title III [carolina]

    This sums up my sentiments about starting university: Yeah. I like how theres alot of grass covered areas on campus I’m enjoying the wireless  (after about 72.6 hours of “connecting’) I also like pronouncing ‘The Carillio Gartner Theatre, Asia Center” in an asian accent But im not really liking much of the other things. Especially lectures. […]

  3. And on the third blog, she started uni for realz (Cristina)

    I am ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED to make this blog not-long. *insert an hour of doing something else/forgetting I had started this post* Right, on with it. So my uni life started quite well, in the sense that the night before starting, I arranged to meet with my new friend before our first lecture (Introduction to Media […]

  4. Chapter two: Voices (~jinghan)

    Voices were everywhere, even my own voice seemed to be somewhat detached from my sense of self. I heard myself cheerfully asking for names, courses and subjects, pouring forth energetic conversation. It was orientation week and I was determined to be friendly and optimistic. I find myself in the line at the Student Centre waiting […]

  5. So when does O-week actually start becoming fun?

    Right. O-week. I have a bone to pick with you. Your shiny brochures and pathetic word-of-mouth set me up to believe this week was going to be a fun-filled, alcohol-fuelled, friendship-making riot. I look around me. I SEE NO RIOT! I have spent this week in a daze. I’ve been lonely and lost (both physically […]

  6. First Day of OWeek (alternative title: RRRrrrrRAaaH TRAMS RRRrrargh)

    Yes, it hasn’t been that long since my last post. You have a sharp eye, son. >.> This post should probably be more to do with the first day of O-Week, I suspect, but hey. I want to complain about trams, and there will be groin-punchy for those who will not allow me to bitch. […]

  7. "I just haven't met you yet…" (Pris)

    So…let’s change that now, shall we?! Sigh. You know when you have to introduce yourself for housekeeping and it’s always inevitably awkward? Like “Hi, I’m Priscilla and I’ve been off alcohol for eighteen years.” *pauses for the polite clap* But let’s not do that. Let’s skip the infamous turtleness and then you guys can find […]

  8. Chapter One: Freedom (~jinghan)

    I woke up. And even though I had been allowed this luxury of waking up naturally without the disturbance of the radio alarm for several weeks, the novelty still hadn’t worn off. It wasn’t until I had lazily climbed out of bed and stared at my laptop for inspiration for something to do that I realised that this was, perhaps, the last day of freedom. Or the first – if university life proved to be everything that I hoped it was. [...]

  9. The speaker who hops to the platform, skips the introduction and jumps to the conclusion is roundly applauded.

    But apparently I should introduce myself anyway. To summarise. I am from Country Victoria – “Two cows to every bogan”  – and I have a large-ish family, about 4 younger siblings by my last head count… I have a boyfriend of… 3 years? I’ll give him a pseudonym later. My parents are really overprotective, so it was […]

  10. I'm doing this right, right?

    Oh. Emm. Gee. O Week is upon me at last. After three months of watching television, avoiding relatives and decidedly not doing very much at all my university career is about to commence. Oddly enough, and don’t throw tomatoes, I could not be more over holidays. One, because with the promise of many a caffeine […]
