Do I Move You? (Sophie)
Things have been wonderfully busy and stressful as my holidays have turned into a “How much can I fit in 24 hours?” game. It is usually a good thing as I become so physically exhausted sleep is a haven that I fall into with ease…however at times my excitement at everything I’m involved with causes […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/26/do-i-move-you-sophie

After (Rick)
I slacked off for a few days after my first two exams, and went home for my brother’s birthday and helped out with getting ready the food and cleaning the house. When I came back I properly got back into study and read through my Introduction to Programming text book. I had that exam on […] -
– {Insert Title Here} – (Jeremy)
DID you ever hear the story of the man who left the rainforest and travelled to the desert, to look for a tree? Or perhaps the story of the woman on the beach, searching for a shell to put to her ear, so she could hear the ocean? You probably haven’t, because I just made […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/20/insert-title-here-jeremy

My story so far. In response to Sophie’s philosphy (Jim)
I absolutely agree with ur comment except the last line. The meaning of life is to never be forgotten. i dont like that line, sorry. I follow another philosphy, learned from the book, “tuesday with Morries”. Everyone should read that book. It is an inspirational and entertaining book. Basically: love community, family and have a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/16/my-story-so-far-in-response-to-sophies-philosphy-jim

I got a lot of livin’ to do, and I ain’t got no time to waste! (Sophie)
EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night I was so beyond-words-happy. Throughout my management exam instead of time to go, I thought of essays to go until vacation!!!! (Funnily enough more motivating than distracting) I am thrilled to finally get a chance to relax. It hasn’t quite hit me yet, and I’m still in high-stress mode….but tonight […] -

Woe is Me (and anybody who has to deal with me) (Johanna)
The last couple of days have been a massive reality check. Whilst I was spending my days making sure my throat was warm/moist/clear/limber enough to sing those sky-high notes and completely avoiding the fact that I am probably going to fail two subjects and lose my scholarship.. well, after my audition, it all hit home.

Come sail your ships around me, And burn your bridges down (Sophie)
Nothing like a bit of Nick Cave to pick you up in a dark moment – okay, perhaps most would take that comment as sarcasm, but in truth I adore his music and find it uplifting despite its dark edges. I have just been listening to “The Weeping Song” and “The Ship Song” – two […] -
Heaven Knows.. Anything Goes! (Johanna)
*dances* Things are starting to look up a little! I’m auditioning for Anything Goes for the Geelong Lyric Theatre Society. It will be brilliant – I’m auditioning for Hope Harcourt, the debutante ingenue (she sings It’s Delovely with her love interest, Billy Crocker). So, if I do get in, I’ll also have to travel to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/06/06/heaven-knows-anything-goes-johanna
