  1. Song for a Winter's Night (David)

    So the holidays officially started for me last week and it has been good so far. I feel lazy and deflated, which is a usual feeling for me after exams are completed. I have been sleeping really late and waking up really late. It’s not good and I should correct it before it becomes a […]

  2. Things to do before I leave (Suzanne)

    1. Smuggle coffee, Nutella, and vitamin pills out of the country. They’re much cheaper here than in Hong Kong, and HK has no quarantine laws unless you’re bringing in morphine or bioweapons. 2. Measure bed + quilt, to buy new bedsheets back home. 3. Borrow and listen to CDs from music library, borrow/read books — […]

  3. Exams, homesickness, and toothache (Suzanne)

    This morning I woke up, and not only had I woken up too late to get breakfast from the dining hall, but the whole of my gums underneath my lower left set of molars was swollen and painful. This happens because my wisdom teeth are growing in but don’t have the space to do it, […]

  4. Update on my oh so interesting life (Georgie)

    Work: Doncaster A&R closed down so am now just a company casual. So far have had a few calls to work and have gotten a few shifts at chaddy and camberwell. Been for an interview at Borders on Lygon – unsucessful. Interviews suck. Was complaining to a friend about my joblesssness and now I’m at […]

  5. Hopscotch (David)

    I think I have a habit of blogging on Monday nights/early Tuesday mornings. All my entries have been made during these times. Uni is still a bit up and down. Today I had a great day. But I betcha that something bad will happen tomorrow to correct the universal order. Ever since uni begun, I […]

  6. A few Facebook groups… (Suzanne)

    …that I’ve joined lately include ‘My education is getting in the way of my learning’, ‘I’ve thought about dropping out of law school at least ten times today’ and ‘Every time you write parallel fifths, Bach kills a kitten’. Now, that last group has absolutely no relevance to what I’m going to talk about in […]

  7. Time and relative dimensions in space (Zoë)

    Yesterday in my HPS lecture we watched part of an episode of The Simpsons that dealt with time travel, as that’s our topic at the moment. Part of me just had to kick myself – watching The Simpsons in class? Isn’t uni great? Of course, that’s just one class, and it was only one moment. […]

  8. Another to-do list (Suzanne)

    1. Start practising again. Gah, it’s so bad. From last Thursday to this Thursday, there have been three days where I didn’t practise at all, two days where I practised less than I was supposed to, and only two days where I practised what I normally do. It’s just that so much has happened this […]

  9. Number 9 – New Plan (Georgie)

    My grand plan last time I left you: to become an expert on the topic for my tute that week so as to be able to discuss (hopefully intelligently) ‘The Rise of Conservatism’. Result: Extra reading did not help that much because in the USA Today tutes we talk more about contemporary issues than looking […]

  10. Life is elsewhere, and I'm going to visit it. (Suzanne)

    A few days ago I woke up, and came to the startling realisation that my life is boring. In fact, I realised that the most exciting thing that I had done the day before was watch somebody’s cupcakes baking in the oven. As in, I had actually sat there in front of an oven for […]
