Monday Morning (Chris)
Do you know what’s odd? I’ve finished this year, in many respects, in a similar way to how I started it. I’m tired, very much overworked, a little hung over, but full of nervous excitement. I might leave most of the reflection on how much has changed / stayed the same for another entry. What […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/12/11/monday-morning-chris

Hopefully not The End of An Era (Sophie)
So it’s a Saturday afternoon and I am feeling rather reflective while being on just a couple of hours sleep. I have been extraordinarily busy, and am rather looking forward to Monday…make that Tuesday, where I can spend a day doing absolutely nothing! Despite being so busy I am in wonderful spirits due to some […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/12/09/hopefully-not-the-end-of-an-era-sophie

Back Home (Rick)
After all the exams were finally over, I went to see how I would go at the U-Film Fest state final. Unfortuantely Angry Man didn’t do so well, but lost to another animation of a whole bunch of only slightly related themes, from RMIT. After spending the first few days after exams going to music […] -
FINISHED (Chris)
Gee golly gosh, I don’t think I’ve had such a weight off my shoulders since I finished the HSC. All of my assessments are done, everything handed in to the best of my rushed-to-finish-do-tutors-really-care-about-word-count standard. I’m reasonably happy, but as always, I won’t really know until the lovely Thursday of December 7th. I am aiming […] -
Horror!!! (Rick)
THE HORROR!!! Two weeks ago, I went into a surf shop to try on some jeans I’d spotted. After I worked out I didn’t like them, I had to wait for my brother to finish trying on his stuff, when the music started to play Justin Timberlake’s Future Sex. ARRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!! It was at this moment […] -
Sydney, Adelaide, uni games, togas, water polo, ski boots, college, love-sickness, death… SUN!! (Lara)
*note*: I have had this post in my drafts for probably over a month now, and have been gradually adding to it…so much has been going on that I haven’t really had enough time to get to the POSTING stage! Yet again I have waited a long long time to write a new post, so […] -
Band-Aid (Jeremy)
IF somebody was to rock up to University one morning with three limbs in plaster, I would happily sacrifice half an hour of my lecture time in order to hear whatever story it is they have to tell (presumably one including something as interesting as free-fall base jumping, visit Mark Latham day, or simply rather […] -
One More Time! + motorbikes (Johanna)
I’m having one of those strange days where I just have so much to express, and writing seems to be the only way I can think of it. I’m not particularly good at crafting insightful or humourous entries; my writing just falls out of my head haphazardly in a stream of consciousness. Sometimes there are […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/17/one-more-time-motorbikes-johanna

Personality & Paradox (Chris)
A great contradiction of my personality just became evident to me, while I sat here in the Creative Arts computer lab, taking advantage of a broadband internet connection (as I do). On the weekend, I purchased a DVD boxset which I have literally been waiting, hanging, more than a year for. It was Season 5 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/17/personality-paradox-chris

Revelation! (Johanna)
Seeing as this blog is supposed to chronicle the bad as well as the good things involved in First Year uni, I thought I should share something a little.. well, personal. Hopefully being open will make others feel better about being open as well, because stigma is a horrible thing. Before I begin, please let […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/17/revelation-johanna
