The 'Crunch' Weeks
Duh, I’m sure we’re all starting to feel them. Assignments are due soon, some of us have or have done mid-semester exams and there’s a cold going around just as the sun is ACTUALLY getting around to shining in the sky! Yes, I’m sick, if you didn’t pick up the sarcasm. Thee dreaded cold decided […] -
On the brink of a nervous breakdown
I’m alive! Sorry for that over-the-top statement, but that summarises how I feel right now. By the end of last week, I thought surely I would have a nervous breakdown by week 5(this week) since I didn’t expect I would have so much presentations and deadlines across all subjects this week. But of course, that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/08/27/on-the-brink-of-a-nervous-breakdown

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 […] -
Semper ubi sub ubi [nicola]
Welcome back. I am quite excited here – you see I’ve quit physics and am now doing psychology (hehe.. the word looks really squiggly) of which I know nothing about. Soo.. anyone out there who knows about psychology – got a heads up? There are new uncharted waters up ahead, although the Science vs Commerce […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/08/14/semper-ubi-sub-ubi

Medley: so far in the semester, crutches, and Open Day
With already 2 weeks gone, I am finding that even with the best of intentions, it’s getting harder and harder to manage my schedule. Sure, I have a “day off” during Fridays; even so, I have to do something uni-related so that I won’t be stuck with all that work from my subjects come weekends.

I just really have to blog about this…
Yeah, I am well aware that I have quite a few posts in this page already, but as the above title suggests, I just have to let this all out. Today has been full of surprises. Just when I was least expecting it, I received a call from my student centre regarding my mid-year application for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/07/18/i-just-really-have-to-blog-about-this

Action! [nicola]
And we’re back in action… To all the school kids who had to start school this week – have fun! I’m sure your holidays were great ’cause of people like me (who work at school holiday programs). haha. Ok, perhaps not. I was a little scared though when I realised that there were already subjects […] -
Happy 2nd year anniversary
And no, it’s not with some boyfriend or such. Yesterday was officially my 2nd year of calling Australia home. Strange enough, I was the only one who remembered. I told my mum this morning, and apparently she did forget that as of the 4th of July 2008, we can already accurately say that we’ve been […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/07/05/happy-2nd-year-anniversary

1/6 into my degree: thoughts after the exams
I can’t believe it. As of yesterday, I’m already done with exams. That’s. just. so. surreal. I was so ecstatic yesterday, even jumping up and down outside the REB. Then last night, it finally hit me. I’ve got no academic stuff to do, no work, and nothing at all planned to do for the next […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/06/25/16-into-my-degree-thoughts-after-the-exams

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
