Making Choices (Georgie)
I can’t believe I’ve almost finished my first year! I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything this year, that I’ve just been plodding along. Having an awesome time, but not really doing anything worthwhile. And now I have to pick subjects. What a nightmare! I’ve got a shortlist of about 30 so far, so not […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/21/making-choices-georgie

Decision making time
As the classes come to an end, two difficult (maybe) decisions need to be made: 1. Subject selection: The first year was just basic chemistry and biology. Now comes the time to choose what branch of food science I need to specialise in. And that’s a hard decision because out of the 3 fields, I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/21/decision-making-time

Watch those birds!
1. The pigeons seem to be getting fatter by the minute. I wonder if they are being overfed. I have heard that they keep on eating till they die. They don’t know when to stop. Some are so fat, they cannot walk at the normal pace! 2. The gulls are a cunning lot. They would […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/11/watch-those-birds

Rain, and more
Nothing makes me happier than a 24 degree day with blue skies, sun, and friends to share it with on a) the college rooftop garden (this morning) and b) South lawn at uni (this afternoon). I read with dismay however, that we’re about to get 15 degrees and showers hail. Well actually, something I’ve noticed […] -
It's the age of social unrest
Just when my personal problematic period ended, my friends (at least three) started theirs. Socially: I have no idea what to do except to give them my opinions – and clearly my views are not compatible with theirs, so perhaps I am better as a listener. Maybe I should listen more, and express myself a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/09/its-the-age-of-social-unrest

Not sure if this has ever happened to you but…
For some reason, my Physics fellows misread my “Mon” thinking it was “Tues” and ended up handing my test to the wrong tutor. When my tutor handed out the tests, mine was nowhere to be found. Lucky he found it later (phew…). It was my first Monday back (after 2 weeks break). And before that, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/07/not-sure-if-this-has-ever-happened-to-you-but

Back again
Well the first week back wasn’t bad at all. For once my lectures and tutes were all really interesting. My only problem is, once again, I have NO idea how to know what material to study for exams! It’s so scary how much we learn in a semester, then they can ask you a question […] -
Right now, I am supposed to be…. (Suzanne) – add your own!
1. Watching my friends perform in Monteverdi’s Orfeo, because today was closing night. 2. Practising. As always. 3. Making a dent in six weeks behind-ness of law reading 4. Making my concise reference notes for open book law exams 5. Writing scholarship applications for next year 6. Applying for competitions/jobs 7. Calling my parents 8.

Three months (Georgie)
I’m in a better mood now, I handed in my two essays this morning. All this exam talk is reminding me how happy I am that I’m only doing essay subjects. Now let us all think of summer and three months holidays! NB: Arts ball was awesome, I am now planning to go to as […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/10/01/three-months-georgie

I sem 1, I was annoyed coz my last exam went all the way till the end of the exam period. Now I am annoyed that all of them are close together. Bio on one day, the next “2” exams on the next day!!! Both on the same day. But the good thing is I […]
