The Unofficial Guide To First Year (Jeremy)
“Actually”, said Mum, as we lounged out around the sofa sometime in February, “What I’m really looking foward to this year is seeing you work for the first time in two and a half years.” “WHAT?” I yelled in response. Actually, my mouth was half-full of Vegemite Savoy at the time, so what I really […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/05/12/the-unofficial-guide-to-first-year-jeremy

Physics Labs, Hackers and Serviette Chess (Rick)
I started the week for some reason feeling very sleepy. I suspect it was the cold. I’d had more sleep over the holidays but the cold countered that. I also was on for dining hall duty this week. Each night after dinner I washed up all the pots and other huge things. My caterers commented […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/04/30/physics-labs-hackers-and-serviette-chess-rick

Double Tests, Lost Keys and the Rapping Martian (Rick)
G’Day peoples, As I said I was going to last time, I went to the Socialist Alternative event ‘Marxism Today’. It was quite enjoyable, and felt I got to know the organisation, and am able to form my own opinions around issues whether in agreement or disagreement with the majority of the others.

Cravings (Johanna)
Last night at around 8pm, I suddenly had a craving of the worst sort – I wanted to play World of Warcraft, the hideously geeky game my boyfriend used to be a fan of. It was horrible – I ran down to Kmart in my pajamas to see if they had it. They were out […] -
R.I.P. Chris
It’s been a while since my last post, largely because I am so tired and lethargic these days that I can’t really construct sentences particularly well. That last one was a challenge. So was that. I guess I’ve bitten off more than I can chew these last weeks, working at least 20 hours at Myer […]
