The Rat Race (David)
It’s been aaaaaaages since my last post and the only excuse I can come up with is procrastination. Please forgive me? Uni is coasting along just fine, nothing super exciting has happened thus worth mentioning so I won’t bore you. Instead, I will go straight into what has been on my mind lately. To be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/24/the-rat-race-david

Rain, and more
Nothing makes me happier than a 24 degree day with blue skies, sun, and friends to share it with on a) the college rooftop garden (this morning) and b) South lawn at uni (this afternoon). I read with dismay however, that we’re about to get 15 degrees and showers hail. Well actually, something I’ve noticed […] -
It's the age of social unrest
Just when my personal problematic period ended, my friends (at least three) started theirs. Socially: I have no idea what to do except to give them my opinions – and clearly my views are not compatible with theirs, so perhaps I am better as a listener. Maybe I should listen more, and express myself a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/09/its-the-age-of-social-unrest

Three months (Georgie)
I’m in a better mood now, I handed in my two essays this morning. All this exam talk is reminding me how happy I am that I’m only doing essay subjects. Now let us all think of summer and three months holidays! NB: Arts ball was awesome, I am now planning to go to as […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/01/three-months-georgie

My nerves are frazzled (Georgie)
Things that get on my nerves: 1. People who block both sides of the escalator so no one can walk past. 2. Rude customers who come into the bookshop making unreasonable demands. I just work here! I can’t change the book prices! 3. Library staff that are mean and unhelpful. 4. Being unable to find […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/30/my-nerves-are-frazzled-georgie

It's a small world after all (Suzanne)
Today, one of my friends from primary school in Sydney, who I haven’t seen since I was 7, added me on Facebook (she now goes to Macquarie University). A few weeks ago, I realised that a girl on my corridor hangs out with a guy who now lives in Medley, who I haven’t seen in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/21/its-a-small-world-after-all-suzanne

On being drained.
You know when you’ve gone through a day in that lethargic mood where you don’t want to do anything, and because you’ve done nothing you feel mopey, and that makes you even more lethargic, and then you go down a self destructive spiral of bum-on-chair and eyes-on-screen? Yeah. That was me today. It’s been so […] -
Stupid Facebook (Georgie)
Help! I am now seriously addicted to Facebook. I check it every time I’m on the computer and end up spending time which should be spent studying commenting and adding applications. Arggh!! I’m one of ‘those’ people now. Well, at least it’s less shameful than Myspace! Note to Sophie: I ended up doing both ‘Sex […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/08/26/stupid-facebook-georgie

The more you see the less you know (David)
It’s been a fair while since my last post, I sincerely apologise for that. As a result of my long absence from this blog, this is gonna be a long one and since most people cant be bothered reading the whole blog, I have outlined the paragraphs and their respective topics: – Moving into college […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/08/10/the-more-you-see-the-less-you-know
