For the last time, I am NOT taking up Environmental Science
For the last few weeks, I am growing to hate answering one particular question – “What course are you taking?” For people who are taking, say, engineering or science this is no biggie. Not for me, though — coz each and every time I tell people I am an Environments student, they’d be thinking that […] -
Numb (Yuan)
Initially, I was planning to have some fun in writing down my very relaxing holiday and the things (or the lack of) I managed to get done over that week but sadly, life goes on and things, not always good, happen. Take last Friday, for example. I had my first test. Admittedly, it was only a short […] -
Comedy, my cure
My easter holidays weren’t the usual ‘binge eat on chocolate then make up excuses for not studying’ type. Oh no. As my beloved church has a different calendar, I have to wait for the chocolate eggs as I exhausted my own supply to make sure that certain relatives couldn’t steal them from me again. I […] -
Coming back from the dead… not
Long time no post… I’ve just spent a whole week being sick – this having the effect of me having missed out on all my lectures (except for 2) plus a couple of tutorials plus the first meet-up/AGM on my faculty club plus some other events that were supposed to boost my almost non-existent social […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/03/25/coming-back-from-the-dead-not

I'm soaring…flying…[nicola]
Right now I’m listening to ‘Breaking Free’ from High School Musical… perhaps I shouldn’t have admitted that. Moving on… A happy Easter to all of you! This holiday, my dear friends, is one of the most exciting for me, with perhaps the exception of Christmas. How could you not like Easter? There is a reason […] -
Seasons change (Yuan)
This is meant to be autumn? Or am I just, for some bizarre reason, hallucinating and thinking this is summer? That was my thought on Monday afternoon as I trudged along like a dehydrated penguin towards the trams. Yet just when I had resignedly accepted the fact that I have to suffer in the boiling […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/03/21/seasons-change-yuan

Bad day Wednesday
On Wednesday the 12th of March, 2008, I had my first ever horrible uni experience. It went something like this: It all started the night before when I had to read basically all of Romeo and Juliet (because I left it to the last minute) and subsequently went to bed at 3am. As a result, I had […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/03/15/bad-day-wednesday

Anyone who's missing uni? (Kripa)
Me. It’s been 1 and a half months in India and 1 more to go. To be honest, coming here made me realize how much I took my life in Australia for granted. Life here is chaotic: You step out of your house and you see a whole new world. The sound of loud horns […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/01/23/anyone-whos-missing-uni-kripa

Signing Off (Georgie)
Things I really like about uni: – I can hand out at the pub with friends before and after class – Meeting new friends! Which I was originally a bit worried about. – South Lawn – The toilet graffiti! I love the ones on the walls in the basement and on the 1st level of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/18/signing-off-georgie

An Uninteresting Post (Georgie)
On my life: – Saw Ben Kweller last night -> so so awesome! We were standing next to the door when he came in and then were like 2 meters away from him when he was on stage. Arghhh! – Have taken the weekend off work to do all my final essays. – Am ok […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/02/an-uninteresting-post-georgie
