Time (Yuan)
This year has gone by surprisingly fast. Only 4 more weeks, swotvac, exam block and we’re done. Amazing… The med student’s much deserved 1 week off had come and gone (the other lucky students get 2, which is totally not fair). I spent it volunteering for SWOT (Student Welfare Outreach Team) and tutored VCE students […] -
The two week "break" (Gianina)
Although the 2-week non-teaching period for Melb Uni won’t be starting until this coming Monday, my ‘break’ has already started yesterday as I don’t have classes during Fridays. Here’s a rundown of my oh-so-fabulous day yesterday: woke up at about 9:30, eventually got up at 10 after unsuccessful attempts to go back to sleep, **fast […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/09/21/the-two-week-break

Smokin coffee
Cardboard model again, albeit in relatively more sophisticated lighting and geometry. Next week (and this weekend) is going to be a living hell. We’re talking about major assessments all due next week. It doesn’t help that mid-semesters for my breadth subject are usually done later than all other subjects; so that’s on next week too. […] -
Pray (Yuan)
Freedom! That’s the first thing I can think of when I sat down to write this post. The last two weeks have just been… hellish, to be honest. Last week, I had a 2,500 words assignment to write and for the first time ever, I actually had problem reaching the word limit whereas before, it […] -
The 'Crunch' Weeks
Duh, I’m sure we’re all starting to feel them. Assignments are due soon, some of us have or have done mid-semester exams and there’s a cold going around just as the sun is ACTUALLY getting around to shining in the sky! Yes, I’m sick, if you didn’t pick up the sarcasm. Thee dreaded cold decided […] -
Just to be different…
I’m going to include a picture on this post because as one adage goes, pictures convey a thousand words (or something like that). Of course, this could just be my subtle way of saying that I’m too lazy/busy to be writing a 1000 words here. This was the model I started with during week 1 in a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/09/04/just-to-be-different

On the brink of a nervous breakdown
I’m alive! Sorry for that over-the-top statement, but that summarises how I feel right now. By the end of last week, I thought surely I would have a nervous breakdown by week 5(this week) since I didn’t expect I would have so much presentations and deadlines across all subjects this week. But of course, that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/08/27/on-the-brink-of-a-nervous-breakdown

Under pressure
Life has been… okay. Semester 2 is sort of starting to pan out the same way semester 1 has. I’m slowly drowning in the pile of lecture notes, feeling more stupid each time I turn up to lectures and oh, there’s still that assignment I have yet to start planning for. So yes, life is […] -
Medley: so far in the semester, crutches, and Open Day
With already 2 weeks gone, I am finding that even with the best of intentions, it’s getting harder and harder to manage my schedule. Sure, I have a “day off” during Fridays; even so, I have to do something uni-related so that I won’t be stuck with all that work from my subjects come weekends.

I just really have to blog about this…
Yeah, I am well aware that I have quite a few posts in this page already, but as the above title suggests, I just have to let this all out. Today has been full of surprises. Just when I was least expecting it, I received a call from my student centre regarding my mid-year application for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/07/18/i-just-really-have-to-blog-about-this
