Oweek: Reflections pt 1
Ok. So I’m sitting in my room here at college listening to the dulcet tones of a drunken student singing ‘Woo Hoo’ in a surprisingly high voice, wondering [...]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/02/27/oweek-reflections-level12

VEGEMITE and MILO'S (Olle)
WARNING TO ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: VEGEMITE IS NOT NUTELLA! I tried it the other day. It’s awful, I mean it’s got an “acquired” taste. It looks innocent at first sight, but it gets worse once you get it in your mouth. An explosion of vinegar landing in your mouth, that’s what it is. Sorry to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/02/27/vegemite-and-milos

One bag. 20 kilos. (Olle)
One bag. 20 kilos. It’s hard to believe I stood there only a week ago, at the Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Most of you have never been there, it’s sort of the end station for the northern hemisphere. It’s cold, it’s “far out” and home to ABBA, IKEA and Nobel. And then there’s me, a small […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/02/27/one-bag-20-kilos-olle

Ah the dreaded introduction. How tiresome. But I guess it’s also fitting [...] -
Ironic
It’s quite ironic isn’t it (for fellow bloggers anyway) that the last post here is titled “beware of scams”? Even more so probably if it were “beware of spams”. It’s already O-week again next week. How time flies (I reckon I’ve said this a number of times already). Pretty soon, there will be new first […] -
Beware of scams
Hi, hope everybody is enjoying the last couple days of their holidays. I’ve definitely enjoyed mine but that’s not really what I’m posting about today. It’s kind of sad to think that my potentially last post on this blog will be about a scam that I’m trying to bring to everybody’s attention. For those in […] -
2nd year, 2nd last year
(**This might be my last post for the blog for as of today, I can already scoot over to ‘Back for Seconds’… but come to think of it, I did really look forward to making a post about tips for 1st year students so I might just save that for another post**) I just realised […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/01/20/2nd-year-2nd-last-year

2009 – how original. [nicola]
Hi to all! I hope you’re have a great 2009, for the year has just begun – and I’m so full of excitement as to what it may bring. I spent my New Year in Singapore, before heading to Manado, Indonesia (via KL) with my family and some family friends. There was the joy of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/01/18/2009-how-original-nicola

New Year, New Resolutions, New Approaches
A late Happy New Year to all! I’ve always wondered how some people are restless and end up changing their course several times until they finally find something that feels ‘right’ to them. Now I’m struck with that feeling. Recently I’ve been toying with the possible idea of aiming to do Medicine and being a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2009/01/04/new-year-new-resolutions-new-approaches
