  1. The Last Frontier (Jeremy)

    There are a few phrases in the English language which are culturally accepted as being lies from the moment they pass our lips and were never actually intended to ever be anything else. These are wide and varied in life, from “This’ll only hurt a little bit” to “It’s not you, it’s most definetely me”, […]

  2. Ouchies… (Lara)

    So I’ve torn my main thigh muscle (rectus femoris, which runs from the top of the leg to the knee) in 3 places with deep surrounding bruising, torn my subcutaneous fat tissue with evidence of early fat necrosis and surrounding bruising, torn my collateral ligament close to its proximal insertion and most probably ripped the […]

  3. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (Johanna)

    Sometimes I get this extraordinary feeling of impetus – I have to do something, I have to do everything, right now. It’s not happening yet, but I feel it’s just on the horizon. Yes, there are assignments due soonish that I should attend to, but my heart is just about at bursting point for bigger […]

  4. Either side of the scales are slowly starting to cooperate… (Lara)

    You know how they say “you have to try to find a balance to cope with uni life much more successfully” ? Yeah, well I think after the past 6 months’ events, I’ve finally found that balance. And in a healthy way too. More to come soon! ps- I guess people are right when they […]

  5. Drinking OJ, Talking Business (Sophie)

    The last two days have been WONDERFUL. Stressful, tiring, worrying, amazing, exciting. I’m feeling the best I’ve felt all semester. I’m finding my path again through this maze of university life. So…I asked a question in my last post pertaining as to how others had found this semester compared to last. I said I would […]

  6. Normal Programming will be restored shortly (Jeremy)

    BEFORE I start this particular post, a big shout must go out halfway around the world to a very good Scottish buddy of mine, young Ewan of Edinburgh fame. Ewan’s final assessment of my blog was that it was “highly entertaining, apart from the depressing bits.” I scratched my chin for thirty seconds and wondered […]

  7. Calm Blue Ocean (Johanna)

    Having a ‘calm blue ocean’ moment right now – Matthew’s brother is talking to me on msn. He’s very nice and everything, but he’s doing a Psychology degree and he’s incredibly in to it. He tries to turn everything into a psychoanalysis session. I was telling him about something and suddenly he launched into standard […]

  8. Imagine if we lived under the weather…We would never be found, never discovered… (warning- mega-long entry!) (Lara)

    After missing the first week back at uni because of the Chicken Pox, you would think that due to your ability to fly/return to Melbourne after being pretty much grounded due to sickness for a week, you would be well enough to mostly get back to things as normal on your return, right?? Yeah… kind […]

  9. That’s Probably Not The Way To Do Things (Jeremy)

    LAST Tuesday I was booked in for a mid-morning gastroscopy. For those of you unaware of the delicate intricacies of this pleasant procedure, it runs through as such; Patient is sedated via an IV, Patient has local anaesthetic sprayed down the back of their throat, barely-conscious Patient has dirty great flexible tube put down their […]
