Friendship (Jeremy)
It’s an interesting concept, friendship; mateship, if you will (though all mateship tends to imply to me is two friends who are both too manly to admit that they love each other). It’s certainly a difficult concept to pin down. I remember back when we had the Republican Referendum and Howard tried to write a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/10/friendship-jeremy

GO GO GO! (Rick)
Hey Hey! Did those holidays ever go so fast! I spent the first week trying to catch up on sleep, going for an all-nighter at Dark Zone Box Hill with the Young Scientists of Australia on the Wednesday. (Dark Zone is a laser tag game for those that don’t know.) Because I’m not really a […] -
On Large Bottoms and Larger Egos (Jeremy)
I think I’ve found the best way to win the hearts of middle-aged women everywhere short of actually being Kerry O’Brien; before I did this, I was a typical male, 18-25, brash, uncouth and insensitive; suddenly, when I was carrying a bunch of flowers, I transformed into the nicest young man ever seen. A bouquet […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/03/on-large-bottoms-and-larger-egos-jeremy

When Time Goes By (Sophie)
I found out the other day that the girl who tried to set my hair on fire in Year 7 dropped out of school and had a baby. Her partner in crime did exactly the same. I’m still known back there…I was only at that school two years yet I’m still remembered because of that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/10/02/when-time-goes-by-sophie

Feels like a Seachange (Jeremy)
AS with life, as with competition, as with challenges, as with everything, and so it is with study. The most dangerous time of life is the first fifteen minutes (and the last fifteen can be pretty dodgy, too), the hardest steps of any race are the first ten and the last ten, and so the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/09/23/feels-like-a-seachange-jeremy

:) (Lara)
Maybe I don’t really want to know How your garden grows I just want to fly Lately did you ever feel the pain In the morning rain As it soaks it to the bone Maybe I just want to fly I want to live I don’t want to die Maybe I just want to breathe […] -
Disasters With Dye (Johanna)
For the second time in as many weeks, I have managed to ruin my hair completely. Not good. As a bit of background information, I previously had untouched hair. My natural colour was a sort of medium brown with natural red and golden glints and undertones. Auburn, I suppose. Lots of people complimented me on […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/09/20/disasters-with-dye-johanna

Medley Party (Rick)
It’s been a huge week! Saturday night we had the Where the F*&^ is Medley Party. We were lucky enough to get five free drinks with our ticket which also helped to pay for the two bands we had, being ‘The Rex Wicked’ and ‘The Trojan Horns’. I hadn’t heard ‘The Rex Wicked’s music before, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/09/19/medley-party-rick

Birthdays, Take 2 (Johanna)
How strange that Sophie and I have the same birthday! It’s bizarre, and I suppose it discounts everything and anything astrology says. We’re both Virgos down to the same day, but so obviously different. However, I’ll follow her lead and give a blow-by-blow frenzy of what happened to me! I lay about in bed until […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/09/15/birthdays-take-2-johanna
