An email I ACTUALLY SENT!! (Sophie)
Dear Student IT abuse, I would like to contest the temporary suspension of my account for 2 weeks from August 14th to August 28th 2006 due to reason suggested in your email to me of “one complaint about misuse of your email account. The complaint is that you have been attempting to sell (or buy) […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/31/an-email-i-actually-sent-sophie

Delays Are… The New Black (Lara)
After what was a pretty awesome rocking weekend at Splendour in the Grass in Byron Bay (the secret band being The Vines, of which Craig Nicholls did enough damage after the set to produce a novel-sized repair/replacement bill!), which was meant to be my final fling before hopping on a plane to venture back into […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/27/delays-are-the-new-black-lara

Best Mate’s 21st (Jeremy)
Just recently, I attended a best mate’s 21st and was of course (rather dangerously, if you ask me), asked to provide a speech. Instead of going on and on about the party I think it’s probably best to reprint the speech I gave. I first met Brok in ’95, when we were only in Year […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/24/best-mates-21st-jeremy

Tales From The Edge Of The Earth i.e Fountain Gate Krispy Kreme (Sophie)
The adventure began at Oakleigh train station where I was met by my dear friend PXW in his own private form of transport (car) – something I’m not quite used to considering I am a proud MetCard holder. After a quick consultation of the Melways, off we went on our roadtrip to what seemed to […] -
Moving Back (Rick)
Ok, the holidays are almost over. Heading back to Melbourne tommorow, still have to pack but many of my bags were never emptied here since I never needed to properly empty them. Not looking forward to unpacking at Medley Hall again! (The doors make it take so long!) On Wednesday I was at the University […] -
Brass Monkeys! (Jeremy)
I thought Melbourne’s normal winter weather was pretty ordinary. There are a few consistent elements to Melbourne’s winter weather. Number one is absolute, constant cloud cover punctured by little three-minutes patches of bright sunlight (and it’s in this three-minute patch that you naturally choose what to wear for the day, and that how one ends […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/20/brass-monkeys-jeremy

Post-exams “A guide” *edit part 1* (Sophie)
Okay so my marks were pretty good when I think realistically about the fact it was my first semester, I made a lot of organisation errors….and I guess if I realise that getting over 80% at Uni is a lot harder than at high school…however I was still severely disappointed (for a while). Particularly when […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/17/post-exams-a-guide-edit-part-1-sophie

Finally Feeling Like Holidays (Johanna)
How annoying. A couple of days ago, I was sent an email from another student at the university. The email basically accused me of being ungrateful, racist, pathetic, among other things. From what I could tell, the student was pretty much taking out all their issues of imagined inferiority on me. It was ridiculous, but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/15/finally-feeling-like-holidays-johanna

A quick update and some notes for First Years (Sophie)
I’m alive. -Probably an important way to start! I’m in a state of major lack of sleep right now so I just wanted to say things are all pretty good. I quit “Tarjey” on Monday (Hello! -I’m trying to gain SOME respect here!)…which was an ‘interesting’ experience. I gave two weeks notice so still have […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/13/a-quick-update-and-some-notes-for-first-years-sophie

“You there! Stop having fun!” (Jeremy)
Dear Jeremy; Us good folk at the University at Melbourne have now, with the aid of many, many staff, and, in a panicky finish, the Managing Director’s Tattslotto numbers, managed to evaluate your final score for your subjects. We have discovered that you have achieved a mark below the 60% range. Here at the University […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2006/07/13/you-there-stop-having-fun-jeremy
