So many places, too little time (Georgie)
Right now I am sitting in the loungeroom, in my newly bought, enormous, white dressing gown with a bunch of international students. 1st of all, I’m feeling very stupid (yet again) that I only speak english, further entrenching the idea in my head that I want to learn Spanish in the near future. I’m sitting […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/18/so-many-places-too-little-time-georgie

A Nothing Post (Georgie)
I started classes this week, they were good. The system is quitelike Melbourne Uni, so that’s good. I have to start working out what I want to do with my weekends, 3 day, not 4 day like I hoped. I have to go clothes shopping as I only have 2 pairs of pants and my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/15/a-nothing-post-georgie

Slainte (Georgie)
Pronounced ‘Slawn-cha’, it means ‘cheers’ in Irish. An important word in such an alcohol fuelled culture. Right now I am sitting in the lounge/kitchen of my college flat looking out from the third floor to below where there are lots of drunken Irish students shouting. I must say, I am a little in awe of […] -
Failte (Georgie)
And that is the only word I know in Irish – not Gaelic – and it means ‘welcome’. It’s pronounced ‘fault-ye’ and is plastered over signs and leaflets everywhere. Am still in Ireland having a bit of a wander before uni, which starts in 8 days. To keep things short I think I might make […] -
Ireland (Georgie)
So I’ve finally made it to Ireland, where all the rain is hiding. I’ve been here about a week now. It has been really great so far. I’m staying with family in Galway which is on the west coast. It is a nice change from hostels, and they have been great taking me around to meet […] -
Berlin (Georgie)
Hi all, So I’ve left England. I did like england, especially the fact that everyone spoke english, but I found London very hectic and fast paced so it was nice to get out to Cambridge and Oxford. Where I have decided, by the way, that I am definitely going to study once my brain grows […] -
The Mighty Boosh
So I went to the Mighty Boosh Festival in Kent with my uni friend Bronwyn who is also in London. Quite obviously, I didn’t actually have to tell you that. She’s going on exchange to Birmingham this semester. It was quite awesome actually, a really nice sunny day and good music and good comedy. But […] -
I’m in London Still… (Georgie)
Well I’m still here, but not for long! Tomorrow I am going to a Mighty Boosh comedy Festival for the day in Kent and then Sunday I am doing a day tour of Stonehenge, Windsor and Bath. Then next week I am off to Nottingham, Cambridge and Oxford then back to London for a night […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/07/05/im-in-london-still-georgie

Officially in London (Georgie)
Am officially in London! Woot! Not much to report. The flight was long and my knees kept hitting the seat in front of me, am now hoping for an aisle seat on any future flights. Will never wear jeans on a flight again, no matter how bogan I will look. It’s 5:30pm and am very […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/27/officially-in-london-georgie

Time just drifts by (Georgie)
I always feel a bit guilty if I happen to make 2 posts in a row on this blog, but hey, what can you do? I leave in 2 days for my 8 month European trip – arghh! This will be my first time overseas, so I am a little worried, but hopefully it will […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/23/time-just-drifts-by-georgie
