Time and relative dimensions in space (Zoë)
Yesterday in my HPS lecture we watched part of an episode of The Simpsons that dealt with time travel, as that’s our topic at the moment. Part of me just had to kick myself – watching The Simpsons in class? Isn’t uni great? Of course, that’s just one class, and it was only one moment.

Another to-do list (Suzanne)
1. Start practising again. Gah, it’s so bad. From last Thursday to this Thursday, there have been three days where I didn’t practise at all, two days where I practised less than I was supposed to, and only two days where I practised what I normally do. It’s just that so much has happened this […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/05/11/another-to-do-list-suzanne

Can you see an effective advertising campaign? (Zoë)
Yesterday afternoon I went to see Spiderman 3 (if you liked the first two, you owe it to yourself to go – twas awesome). I walked into the cinema resigned to the fact there would be at least 15 minutes of ads before the movie would start. I settled into my seat, expecting to see […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/05/05/can-you-see-an-effective-advertising-campaign-zoe

Yawwwwn. (Suzanne)
My college PPL tutor says that once the assignments all get handed in, law students just start to drift. Without the stress of looming deadlines, they decide to relax, showing up to fewer classes, putting less effort into note-taking, and ignoring the cases that they have to read for lectures. Almost all of them forget […] -
Number 9 – New Plan (Georgie)
My grand plan last time I left you: to become an expert on the topic for my tute that week so as to be able to discuss (hopefully intelligently) ‘The Rise of Conservatism’. Result: Extra reading did not help that much because in the USA Today tutes we talk more about contemporary issues than looking […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/04/30/number-9-new-plan-georgie

Life is elsewhere, and I'm going to visit it. (Suzanne)
A few days ago I woke up, and came to the startling realisation that my life is boring. In fact, I realised that the most exciting thing that I had done the day before was watch somebody’s cupcakes baking in the oven. As in, I had actually sat there in front of an oven for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/04/29/life-is-elsewhere-and-im-going-to-visit-it-suzanne

Is it true that…(Kripa)
(i) only union members are allowed to use the toilets in the basement of the union house? (ii) only union members are allowed to take water from the drinking fountain from the union house? (iii) only union members are allowed to read the magazine ‘Farrago’? If yes, I’ve been unknowingly violating the first and third […] -
How do you stop an exploding Commerce building? (Zoë)
With a well-timed evacuation, I suppose. An evacuation that was very efficient – congratulations and thanks should be offered to those staff involved. I had a Biology lecture in the Copland Theatre this morning, and we had a new lecturer, who was really engaging, running up and down the stairs imitating a jellyfish. I was […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/first-year/2007/04/23/how-do-you-stop-an-exploding-commerce-building-zoe
