  1. This blog is brought to you by the letter Y (Cristina)

    Why the letter Y? Well, Y not? I think it’s safe to say that I’m fully getting into uni life now. Two assignments due next week that I’m just starting today,  attending free pizza lunches when I could have started said assignments instead, avoiding creepy people at lectures, attempting to sleep on the South Lawn […]

  2. Chapter Four: Shame (~jinghan)

    And there I was standing in the middle of a lecture hall with my heart pumping, as I held onto as sincere and friendly a smile as I could. I was dearly grateful for the chair-back behind me to somehow keep me standing. “So… would anyone like to nominate someone – or themself – to […]

  3. "Let's get down to business" (Pris)

    *Swivles the chair around* Why hello, I’ve been expecting you… sorry, there’s never a chance to do that in real life! Anywho, second week, eh? Sounds mediocre but I have learnt some valuable lessons this week: Velcro is a very, veeeeery awkward thing to deal with in a silent library. VERY AWKWARD! Macs are awesome. […]

  4. Fluorescent Adolescent

    Wow, the first two weeks of university has flown by in a blur of french, socialising, sushi and softball. So indeed faithful reader(s), I apologise for failing to blog as regularly as I would like. In fact just to make today worse, I had typed up a blog, forgot to save the draft, and then […]

  5. First Week Smoosh

    Since I can’t make myself finish the reading I should be doing (Rousseau, Locke, Hobbes? Seriously guys, sit down we have to talk), I thought I could at least do my neglected blog post. I don’t know if I can add anything particularly meaningful to the other first week perspectives but bear with me anyway. […]

  6. Huh, so this is what university's like… (Rinaldho)

    OK, well, let me just tell you, coming from an international school which had a total of 300 or so students, this past week has been a massive eye-openner for me. I mean, when I walked into lecture theatres and the people just kept pouring through the doors, that was the time when I realised […]

  7. And on the third blog, she started uni for realz (Cristina)

    I am ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED to make this blog not-long. *insert an hour of doing something else/forgetting I had started this post* Right, on with it. So my uni life started quite well, in the sense that the night before starting, I arranged to meet with my new friend before our first lecture (Introduction to Media […]

  8. Busy streets, cheap eats: first weeks (Cara)

    I’ve got a much-battered, coffee-stained leaf of paper leering at me from my desk with the words ‘Things to tell the Blog’ scrawled on it, and it’s guilt-tripping me into writing to you. So hi, blog. Let me tell you some things. Since last week, things have been crazily busy. Some fun times were had, […]

  9. Post 4: Instead of my usual rambling titles I was going to do something simple, but once I started this title there was no stopping me.

    I know. I know. I’m posting like a maniac, but it’s probably because I usually have someone to bitch to every night (I used to share a room with my sister), and now I have a dog and some old people. Not that I dislike the dog, nor the old people. It’s just that one […]

  10. Went to the country, returned alive. (Peech)

    So, I finally kicked my ass into gear and went about finding some farm work for the holidays. It was a mildly frightening task (for a sufferer of social anxiety) made more difficult by the unfortunate fact that farmers are not keen on the internet.
