The Calming (Rick)
I’m just starting to feel things are calming down at Uni. The workload at university is intense, but somehow, you seem to get used to it. In the second week I was able to catch up on some reading I missed out on. (Due to looking out for second hand text books) It must be […] -
What a week and a half… (Lara)
I’m not sure whether to say a lot has happened the past week, or not too much. On Wednesday last week not too much happened, just a normal uni day (my longest out of the 5, 8am-4pm), followed by dinner at college which I remembered at the last minute was a hall night so I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/03/20/what-a-week-and-a-half-lara

The 2 flying weeks: focusing on study experience (Jim)
Hello everyone, Sorry for the late entry. The past 2 weeks have been super busy. I have plenty to share on topics of my study and social life. So let’s begin with my favourite subject Legal method reasoning, (law subject). My reflection on the past 3 weeks is wonderful. My lecturer, Ian is so great, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/03/19/the-2-flying-weeks-focusing-on-study-experience-jim

More reflecting on the past – Week One (Rick)
The Saturday before, we went to the beach at Anglesea. We played beach cricket. I was one of the first to jump in the water as I find it hard to watch the water at the beach and not go for a swim in fairly cold water. One of the guys in our group was […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/03/17/more-reflecting-on-the-past-week-one-rick

Through the looking glass (Sophie)
Days have been flying by with their usual eventful tendencies; rushing from one class to another, sharing a joke here and there with a friend and then worrying that you’re behind on reading and nearly putting yourself to sleep by doing 3 hours of management study at once! Currently I am in the computer lab […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/03/17/through-the-looking-glass-sophie

Reflecting on my Wild O-Week (Rick)
This is a summary of the events that occurred during the university O-Week. Tuesday On Tuesday morning I managed to just be there on time to see my host, having been delayed by the signing of a petition to call for our government to call off the war. (or something along those lines.) The tour […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/03/14/reflecting-on-my-wild-o-week-rick

Heyy people, Firstly I’d just like to say sorry for being so late to start this thing. But I swear I have a valid excuse!!

Sunshine and Fairy Floss (Johanna)
I am hoping that this will not turn into a bland recitation of ‘what I did on O-week’, so I feel I should introduce myself! My story will be much more interesting if you know where it’s coming from. My name is Johanna and I’m 18 years old, hailing from good ol’ Geelong (just over […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/02/28/sunshine-and-fairy-floss-johanna

Three Wild Days before (Rick)
The first week of being in a college is wild, and there is so much to talk about, and therefore it may take me a while to tell you the full story, so for this post I will include from the Saturday I moved in to Monday, the day before Orientation at the University. I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/02/10/three-wild-days-before-rick
