What annoys you about exams? (Kripa)
Allright, the exams have already begun and my annoyance has started simultaneously. I am really disappointed at the fact that on top of the stress and nervousness during exams, there has to be some events to annoy me. – Talk about right place and right time! Exam on a public holiday? Check. Train timetable changing […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/08/what-annoys-you-about-exams-kripa

Damn core subjects. (Suzanne)
I just got a call for applications and an advert in my uni email for Institutions in International Law, a subject they offer at the law school here. Essentially, in this subject, you fly out to Geneva as a class of 25 over winter break, you tour the UN and the WTO and the Red […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/07/damn-core-subjects-suzanne

Pistachios (David)
My lovely Mum dropped by and gave me an assortment of my favourite nuts. Pistachios, almonds and cashews. She reckons I will study better if I eat nuts. I reckon studying is less painful when there’s something to chew on. Anyway, I will remind my Mum next time not to get me Pistachios. Why? Because […] -
An Uninteresting Post (Georgie)
On my life: – Saw Ben Kweller last night -> so so awesome! We were standing next to the door when he came in and then were like 2 meters away from him when he was on stage. Arghhh! – Have taken the weekend off work to do all my final essays. – Am ok […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/11/02/an-uninteresting-post-georgie

You will be deleted! (Zoë)
When I decided to write my final Cinema Studies essay on Doctor Who, I thought it was the best idea I’d had in a while. How much fun would writing 2500 words on Doctor Who be? I was really looking forward to getting into the scene analysis and enjoying sharing my passion for one of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/31/you-will-be-deleted-zoe

I am highly amused (Suzanne)
The alumni website for the university has a list of prominent alumni. Of course, this isn’t an exhaustive catalogue. For an updated list, it tells you, you should go visit the respective Wikipedia page. It even provides the link. Ah, what a brave new world we live in!blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/25/i-am-highly-amused-suzanne

Con/VCA merger, essay grades, and bread (Suzanne)
So, I got an email from the Dean of the Faculty of Music today, and apparently, the Victorian College of the Arts School of Music is merging with the Faculty of Music at Melbourne University (aka ‘the Con’). Technically, they were both part of the University of Melbourne, but the VCA continued to provide its […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/24/convca-merger-essay-grades-and-life-suzanne

Attention: socialists, capitalist pigs, dorito eaters, bubble cup drinkers, symphony metal listeners (David)
I went to the group interview as part of the process to become a host for O-week next year. I thoroughly enjoyed the interview and I was leaving, I realised what was different this semester. At the beginning of the year, everybody was excited and receptive to making new friends. However, as the year went […] -
The Rat Race (David)
It’s been aaaaaaages since my last post and the only excuse I can come up with is procrastination. Please forgive me? Uni is coasting along just fine, nothing super exciting has happened thus worth mentioning so I won’t bore you. Instead, I will go straight into what has been on my mind lately. To be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/24/the-rat-race-david

A Public Service Announcement (Zoë)
Have you ever stopped to think about all those important files on your computer? The research notes you’ve been taking for your final essays. The brainstorms, and the plans. A whole semester’s worth of summarised lecture notes you’ve taken care to type up after every lecture. Your collection of music and photos. Your resume. The […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/23/a-public-service-announcement-zoe
