2020 vision and a little hindsight
In defence of this year, 2020 has been a year of growth, of opportunity and of experience. The year, like many other catastrophic world events, has humbled us and brought us together to remember the important elements of life. It has long been touted as the most important aspect to one’s life, and that is […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/12/31/2020-vision-and-a-little-hindsight

The sun’s come out to play
The sun, the glorious sun has come out to play, to lighten our Christmas period with warmth and festivities. I can’t really think of much to write in this blog.

Instead, I became a lawyer and then a teacher. I’ve had a number of different jobs, sometimes after one contract ends, I feel like calling out […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/11/03/formula-h1-racing

Trials and errors
Last week’s experiment of not attending lectures totally blew up in my face. Turns out, I missed out on really important details about the assignment. I found it out over the weekend while going through the recordings, 3 days after the due date. Of course, I had to make the mistake that the prof specifically […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2020/10/20/trials-and-errors
