“Only you beneath the moon and under the sun…” (Johanna)
A line from one of my favourite songs, Night and Day by Ella Fitzgerald. It gets double points for being written by Cole Porter too. Gosh how I love musicals. Anyway, the title of this post doesn’t really mean anything – I just wanted to try to convey the rhythmic goodness and lovely slinkiness of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/04/11/only-you-beneath-the-moon-and-under-the-sun-johanna

Another day where time is the only answer (Sophie)
This weekend has been a bit quieter than usual but nevertheless very enjoyable. Tennis consumed a lot of my spare time between working down at the club and playing Sunday Social Comp at Melbourne Uni. After such a long break over last year due to Year 12 commitments I am slowly attempting to get back […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/04/09/another-day-where-time-is-the-only-answer-sophie

Stickers! (Rick)
Hey peoples! After reading a previous post I thought I might talk about my workload. In general, I haven’t felt it’s been too bad. I honestly don’t study like I should but I know that what I do have to learn is manageable. This is likely to also be due to the fact that I […] -
Mental Lows, Spontaneous Epiphanies, and Other Snippets of the Week…(Lara)
Perhaps over the past week or so i’ve had the chance to think things over…but i’m not sure if i’m content with all of the thoughts rushing through my mind at present. I think i can accept what has happened, but then suddenly i just feel like i KNOW it’s not right. But i have […] -
Dreams and memories, down the lane I wander (Sophie)
Well finally: the week that was, is now over. By last night I was so exhausted that at 5pm I felt I could have fallen asleep then and there! I just had what can only be described as one of the most amazing weeks of my life. From here to there I was rushing in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/04/03/dreams-and-memories-down-the-lane-i-wander-sophie

The Want of a Hug and a Home-Cooked Meal (Johanna)
On Sunday night last week, on a whim, I caught the train back to Geelong even though I had to come into uni on Monday morning. It was so nice to be back, even if it were only for the shortest while. I got to sleep in my own bed! My puppy was so happy […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/04/02/the-want-of-a-hug-and-a-home-cooked-meal-johanna

Anti-War rallies, parties, extra classes, and rapping. (Rick)
A few weeks ago I went to an anti-war rally at the State Library. I thought I was going to go alone but I found one person who was also planning to go from my college. It was quite a big rally with about one thousand people. We marched down Swanston St. to Federation Square.

ATTENTION policy makers: Give students a longer study term (Jim)
Hello people The object of the heading is the source of problem for the majority of students. Uni is so hectic. A 13 or 14 weeks semester is too short to cover contents of 4 subjects.Under this time constraint, many fellow first yr students including myself are struggling. The school term doesn’t serve the ultimate […] -
Throwing coins in wishing wells and living a semi-charmed kinda life (Sophie)
I kept meaning to update last week but the days have been rushing by so fast. Uni life is crazy in the sense that things are so incredible fast-paced. You really have to be so organised or everything will collapse beneath your feet. Since my last post I went through a few days where I […] -
The Calming (Rick)
I’m just starting to feel things are calming down at Uni. The workload at university is intense, but somehow, you seem to get used to it. In the second week I was able to catch up on some reading I missed out on. (Due to looking out for second hand text books) It must be […]
