Double-bookings
You know, one of the things that is most annoying about university is that there is no longer a standardised timetable of events that everyone attends. This means that most weeks there are multiple places I need/want to be at the same time, and unfortunately, only one of me. For instance, next Wednesday is both […] -
Adventures at MIFF (Zoë)
As a hopeful Cinema Studies major, I decided that it was not only my duty, but educational, to go to the Melbourne International Film Festival. So I got a mini pass, which gets me into 10 screenings, and poured over the guide, carefully selecting 10 films to see. So far I’ve been to seven, so […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/08/06/adventures-at-miff-zoe

Mmmm…. (Georgie)
Well hello again world. I feel like i haven’t written in ages. So what’s been going on? Well, I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough work for the holidays, but I ended up having way too much. I was in at the law firm and at A&R in Heidelberg and so I ended up […] -
Hi! My first blog ever…
Firstly; my excuse for never having written before = email black hole (like where all my socks go… but online) AND laziness. SO, now I am starting. And second up will be my introduction: My name is Anouska. I’m a first year doing straight arts at Melbourne 🙂 My subjects are Psychology (which I’m hoping […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/07/27/hi-my-first-blog-ever

Birthdays, beginnings and book launches (Zoë)
So here we all are, back for another semester. I feel okay at the moment, but yesterday I definitely had the beginning of semester blues. How can five weeks of holidays go so fast? It’s a question I ask myself after every holiday, and I never manage to find an answer. My holidays were excellent.

Facebook (Georgie)
So I just joined Facebook, anybody got any idea what it is? Or what it does? Perhaps I should have had an idea of what it was before I signed up, but I got an e-mail and just said yes. Mmmm…. -
Comparing notes (Suzanne)
It’s interesting, coming back to Hong Kong and finding out about the experiences of all my high school friends. We went to an international school, and generally it’s much more common to go overseas for university in Hong Kong than it is in Australia (I still find it hard to wrap my head around the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/07/14/comparing-notes-suzanne

Winter blues (David)
The cold weather has finally got to me. I have been ill the last few days and it’s pissing me off. I advise anyone planning to sleep at a friend’s house to ensure that their house has some sort of heating or spare blankets. I think I caught my cold by sleeping on the floor […] -
Ten things I have noticed upon returning home (Suzanne)
1. My room has been completely renovated and most of the stuff I didn’t bring to uni has been chucked out. 2. It’s the middle of hot, humid, summer here. And the middle of rainy season. Dear cheese, I hate Hong Kong weather. 3. I have gained 8 pounds/4 kilograms of extra mass over the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/06/26/ten-things-i-have-noticed-upon-returning-home-suzanne

Electric Dream
So mummy dearest has made me her yummy Roast Chicken as a welcoming home meal. She knows how much I miss her roasts, mainly because I tell her so all the time. Her and anyone else willing to listen. Another thing I miss is Burgerfuel (why is everything food oriented? see this, and this, and […]
