You will be deleted! (Zoë)
When I decided to write my final Cinema Studies essay on Doctor Who, I thought it was the best idea I’d had in a while. How much fun would writing 2500 words on Doctor Who be? I was really looking forward to getting into the scene analysis and enjoying sharing my passion for one of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/31/you-will-be-deleted-zoe

Con/VCA merger, essay grades, and bread (Suzanne)
So, I got an email from the Dean of the Faculty of Music today, and apparently, the Victorian College of the Arts School of Music is merging with the Faculty of Music at Melbourne University (aka ‘the Con’). Technically, they were both part of the University of Melbourne, but the VCA continued to provide its […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/24/convca-merger-essay-grades-and-life-suzanne

Making Choices (Georgie)
I can’t believe I’ve almost finished my first year! I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything this year, that I’ve just been plodding along. Having an awesome time, but not really doing anything worthwhile. And now I have to pick subjects. What a nightmare! I’ve got a shortlist of about 30 so far, so not […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/21/making-choices-georgie

Three months (Georgie)
I’m in a better mood now, I handed in my two essays this morning. All this exam talk is reminding me how happy I am that I’m only doing essay subjects. Now let us all think of summer and three months holidays! NB: Arts ball was awesome, I am now planning to go to as […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/01/three-months-georgie

Perspective (Zoë)
Last Thursday in Biology prac, I ran into my old lab partner from last semester, who had swapped into my prac for the week because she had a SAC at her scheduled time. Yep, a SAC. Remember those? It got me thinking about this time last year. I was completely stressed – struggling to get […] -
On being drained.
You know when you’ve gone through a day in that lethargic mood where you don’t want to do anything, and because you’ve done nothing you feel mopey, and that makes you even more lethargic, and then you go down a self destructive spiral of bum-on-chair and eyes-on-screen? Yeah. That was me today. It’s been so […] -
Why writing law essays is a pain-in-the-posterior (Suzanne)
When I write normal, artsy style essays, like the ones I do for music history, there are certain phrases which I like to use. These include “substantial”, “remedy [for a problem etc]”, “(in)significant”, and “question”. These words all have legal meanings, which, while similar to their common meanings, are actually not exactly the same. So […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/01/why-writing-law-essays-is-a-pain-in-the-posterior-suzanne

Anyone seen this sem go fast(er)?
I feel like I’m in an express train with no stops! It’s already the end of august and I can remember clearly the first few days of this semester. How fast did that go? And to think that, it’s only a matter of few months that my first year will end. I won’t be a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/08/27/anyone-seen-this-sem-go-faster
