Bombast
Regarding Uni; The semester is more than halfway through, which means that everyone has lots of essays to do. I myself have 3, although one of these is a Creative Writing non-fiction piece so it doesn’t really count. The other two are for 19th Century Music and Society, in which I will be writing about […] -
Poetry, Polemic
Fried mushrooms and whole tomatoes are obscenely tasty. And scrambled eggs aren’t as disgusting as I thought they would be. I have a new favourite breakfast. And getting an H1 in Creative Writing will require some kind of tutor bribe. My best effort, an exquisitely wrought poem, deft, cynical, and erudite, only received an H3. […] -
Well, I have to say… (Viv)
…that I’m pretty relieved that I didn’t end up being the only late starter after all. There’s safety in numbers. Or, at least, that’s what I used to tell myself back in high school: that it was okay if I didn’t do the homework or bring in a note as long as there was somebody else who was […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/04/24/well-i-have-to-say-viv

Hurhur, I'm the last one now!
Yup, another late blogger joining the ranks! I’m Matthew (but you can call me Matt), and you will probably have observed by now that my screenname is ‘Matthras’ – it’s a rather lame pseudonym that I maintain online especially when I’m in communities with other Matts (thank god there isn’t any here!). BEFORE I continue […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/04/23/hurhur-im-the-last-one-now

Uh Oh…Last but (hopefully) not least :) (Viv)
Warning: this blog is riddled with grammatical errors, long-winded rants and, worst of all, my own personal thoughts and experiences. In no way does it aim to be witty or entertaining. Any hint at being so is, rest assured, purely coincidental. ————————- Okay, okay. 7/8 weeks into uni and everybody’s already moved past the introductions and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/04/22/uh-ohlast-but-hopefully-not-least-viv

stud muffin [nicola]
The title of my blog has absolutely nothing to do with the content, I just thought it was the funniest thing i’ve heard in a long time… I’m sitting on a train at the moment (like I seem to be doing most of the time) thinking of a witty anecdotal blog. Mind blank. Seem to […] -
"And yes, different things are different!"
Last week I felt very sophisticated, in going to see the ‘fine arts’ in the city of Melbourne. These fine arts included: a trip to the comedy festival, and going to the VCA symphonic orchestra. I know comedy doesnt exactly count as fine arts, far from it, but its in the city, and you have […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/04/14/and-yes-different-things-are-different

For the last time, I am NOT taking up Environmental Science
For the last few weeks, I am growing to hate answering one particular question – “What course are you taking?” For people who are taking, say, engineering or science this is no biggie. Not for me, though — coz each and every time I tell people I am an Environments student, they’d be thinking that […] -
Another newbie!
Yet another blogger to join the ranks of first_year@unimelb! And, as usual, I’m ‘fashionably’ late. So I suppose I should introduce myself. The name’s Sara and I’m a first year commerce student. Yes, I can already hear the groans – “oh no, she’s doing commerce!” Actually I have no idea why there seem to be […] -
nikhedonia – if only [nicola]
So I believe that things are slowly beginning to fall into place – ok, so perhaps a routine hasn’t quite been established yet, but there are certain routes one takes to classes and there are people whom one routinely spots in lectures. (There is a guy in my bio lecture who I see 3 times […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2008/04/10/nikhedonia-if-only
