Merry Christmas
Have a joyful one – from me and Cat to you and yours 🥳 Everybody’s on a holiday and I guess, I should take one too and stop writing but I joined mid-year, so technically still a first year. Besides, I am not putting down my pen until told otherwise 😤😝😜 Apart from cooking fancy […] -
Happy Holidays
Still not sure if I have passed or failed, had a turbulent semester and it shows on the report card. A lot of admin details are pending and that means, I’ll not know my results until all the kinks are smoothed out. But just to be on the safe side, I am using the holidays […] -
Summer’s here!
Loving the break 🥰 And now that the lockdown’s gone, life’s slowly going back to normal. I have got plans for summer that don’t involve worrying about the exam results due this week. Forget about passing with flying colours, I’ll celebrate if I just make it through in monochrome 😜 My local library is open […] -
Found my motivation
Exam season starts today 😥 Mine are in the second half of the month and maybe I’ll finish my revision by then 🤞 Having done my time in the unforgiving IT industry, I am now a big believer in having more “life” in the work-life balance. Yesterday’s 15-hour-coding marathon was a first in a very […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/11/09/found-my-motivation

Finally free ✊
Today’s my last lecture for the semester and then I am a free bird 🦥 But I think I’ll miss them and the sense of normalcy they brought to my chaotic world where I couldn’t tell what would happen the next day but could always count on the lectures to be there, on time, like […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/10/29/finally-free-%e2%9c%8a

Trials and errors
Last week’s experiment of not attending lectures totally blew up in my face. Turns out, I missed out on really important details about the assignment. I found it out over the weekend while going through the recordings, 3 days after the due date. Of course, I had to make the mistake that the prof specifically […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/10/20/trials-and-errors

Back to studies
Break is over and lectures are back. I am giving them a miss this week. I spend way too much time on zoom. Discovered last week that I can save time by not watching the same lecture thrice 🤦♀️ Trying to study smart and not just hard 😎 Cat isn’t missing management too much. Last […] -
Let it be a beautiful mess
“It’s a beautiful day”, (U2). It’s Monday, the day that signals new beginnings, a new week and renewed commitment to our dreams and for some, diets. In our new world, the world’s been rewritten, reinvented, and reimagined. The world seems a quieter place, at least for me. I move slowly about the world, practically on […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/10/12/let-it-be-a-beautiful-mess

Just as expected
Not getting much done this week. But knew that already. Caught up on all the 😴 I missed out on and having reduced my study load, got a lot of time to enjoy life and mull over stuff. Not what regular students are expected to do! University is supposed to be the time where you […] -
Feels like Christmas
Got the whole of next week off and some very pleasant surprises in this one. Does feel like a Christmas morning 🎁 session. So, it all started with an assignment submission gone wrong and me not having any backup. Nail-biting suspense later, I was allowed to resubmit it! Like seriously, how cool is that!!! I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/09/30/feels-like-christmas
