It's a small world after all (Suzanne)
Today, one of my friends from primary school in Sydney, who I haven’t seen since I was 7, added me on Facebook (she now goes to Macquarie University). A few weeks ago, I realised that a girl on my corridor hangs out with a guy who now lives in Medley, who I haven’t seen in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/21/its-a-small-world-after-all-suzanne

Happy Holidays! + Sprite Ice?
Happy holidays! And for those who get it, ‘Shana Tova’. What a relief to have 2 weeks break! I’ve been so busy with assignments and essays, but I got them all in on time, (Psych a day early!) and now I only have one to do over the break. Because his family have gone on […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/16/happy-holidays-sprite-ice

"So, do you have hobbies?" (Suzanne)
“So, do you have hobbies outside of music? No, wait, you probably don’t, do you? Music students usually don’t.” — a tutor of mine. *headdesk* It’s true! I practise music, I read books on music history, I sing music in choir, I think about music theory, I listen to music, I compose music, I write […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/14/so-do-you-have-hobbies-suzanne

Perspective (Zoë)
Last Thursday in Biology prac, I ran into my old lab partner from last semester, who had swapped into my prac for the week because she had a SAC at her scheduled time. Yep, a SAC. Remember those? It got me thinking about this time last year. I was completely stressed – struggling to get […] -
Why 'opening' hours here turn me into a grumpy cow. (Suzanne)
About a month ago, I applied for a credit card. I was told that I’d get it in 5-10 working days. So today, wondering why it hadn’t arrived yet, I thought I’d go harass the bank staff about it. Wanting to be relatively efficient, I thought I’d log onto my internet banking account and check […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/05/opening-hours-suzanne

Are people really unreactive?
Ok, this might not apply to you and it hasn’t applied to me (yet). But I really needed to let people know what happened to my friends. On Monday, my friends were travelling on the usual swanston street tram getting to uni in the morning. As always, crowded like hell. We had a test at […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/04/are-people-really-unreactive

On being drained.
You know when you’ve gone through a day in that lethargic mood where you don’t want to do anything, and because you’ve done nothing you feel mopey, and that makes you even more lethargic, and then you go down a self destructive spiral of bum-on-chair and eyes-on-screen? Yeah. That was me today. It’s been so […] -
Why writing law essays is a pain-in-the-posterior (Suzanne)
When I write normal, artsy style essays, like the ones I do for music history, there are certain phrases which I like to use. These include “substantial”, “remedy [for a problem etc]”, “(in)significant”, and “question”. These words all have legal meanings, which, while similar to their common meanings, are actually not exactly the same. So […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/09/01/why-writing-law-essays-is-a-pain-in-the-posterior-suzanne

Anyone seen this sem go fast(er)?
I feel like I’m in an express train with no stops! It’s already the end of august and I can remember clearly the first few days of this semester. How fast did that go? And to think that, it’s only a matter of few months that my first year will end. I won’t be a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/08/27/anyone-seen-this-sem-go-faster
