Late, as usual (Peech)
Hello, fellow first years. I procrastinated writing my first post (due to nerves, panic, new-stuff overload, ah!) and now I feel guilty about being slack and slightly intimidated by the standards set by the other bloggers. Phew! So, let me introduce myself. My name is Peech, and I’m… not really a first year, since I’ve […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/late-like-usual-peech

Keep it simple, stupid [Vincent]
KISS. Short is sweet. Brevity is elegance. Whatever. I’ve just left South Lawn, because streaks of rain are attacking me, although only mildly. Enough to persuade me to take leave anyway. Now waiting at Gate 10 for a friend who’s coming back up from the new Commerce building. Ahhh, I must say, having only one […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/keep-it-simple-stupid-vincent

Computer 32 (Olle)
Hello the people of the world! Pardon me on my extremely enthusiastic mode, I just can’t help it. It’s who I am. I’m at Union House, 4th floor, reporting from Computer 32. Like the sound of that, don’t know why. Sounds like a cool film. Just came from the Rowden White Library – “probably the […] -
Hello internet (Katie)
I’d like to think that rocking up late to something like this gives me an air of enigma, but most likely it just highlights the fact university takes a lot of energy. No one ever really told me that – I was under the impression it was all drinking and getting in touch with your […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/hello-internet-katie

Act it out, if you will [Vincent]
(This is a long entry – over 1400 words, wow. Kind of contradicts my disclaimer below then = = I’m sorry that I write about my boring all-and-sundry day, but I promise it’s only because the first two days of uni are especially memorable. Being the usually forgetful me, I shall have much less to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/04/act-it-out-if-you-will-vincent

My Most Recent Torrid Love Affair Gone Awry [Suzi]
In other news, I fell asleep during my second lecture today. Not much else needs to be said. It was an accident; I have absolutely nothing against Accounting - but I fear it holds a vendetta against me. Behold, the evils of Counting Godz (A.K.A. The Numbersmen* – they rent out the name to an up-and-comin’ band from Reykjavik on weekends for extra profit.)blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/03/my-most-recent-torrid-love-affair-gone-awry-suzi

Another Arts degree-wielding blogger (Jennifer)
...Saying, "Hi, I'm Bambi!" or, "I love your shoes!"**** for instance, are acceptable ways to start a conversation. Conversely, if you approach a stranger by telling them, "I have genital herpes" or "I'm thinking of starting a nunchucks club", you will simply appear to have a personality disorder...blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/03/another-arts-degree-wielding-blogger-jennifer

Mourning the loss of a blue jacket [Vincent]
(I write late at night, mostly because I get to wrench my laptop off my brother at 10 pm only…) It sort of dawned on me earlier this evening, that perhaps first days always have to make themselves memorable in later life by causing something undesirable to happen. At least in my case. Gah. I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/02/mourning-the-loss-of-a-blue-jacket

My Swedish Identity Is Not Enough
“How much media have you consumed today?” A lot, probably. You have most likely already checked your e-mail and your Facebook. That’s usually what I do before blogging. Then a friend recommended you to look up a funny clip on youtube. We all know what that means – at least an hour. Suddenly you realise: […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/03/02/my-swedish-identity-is-not-enough

Soporific. [ASH]
I thought I’d do a quickie (heh.) coz’ the average attention span of people are something like 7 minutes. [quick fact. ding] Also decided to do dot points. That might make this easier for you. So readers, and fellow bloggers here it goes: When I meet people, they tend to call me Ash Catchum, the […]
