Prologue to Third Year (~jinghan)
It’s December 2011 and I walk out of my final exam, a great load is lifted from my shoulders – I survived. The year started with the passing of my grandmother, a broken relationship, a new relationship and a trip into a faraway country. Things weren’t looking so great around June, but somehow having time […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/02/06/prologue-to-third-year-jinghan

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Adventures With 3rd Graders (~jinghan)
I realise I haven’t actually told you about my internship placement. As part of one of my subjects, call Learning in Maths and Science, I was given a internship placement with a 3rd grade classroom which I attend for two hours a week. My teacher was a really brilliant person. It takes an incredible amount […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/12/14/chapter-sixty-nine-adventures-with-3rd-graders

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Misadventure Of The Poor Fruit Branded Computer
You know how I lost my voice after Thanksgiving Retreat? Well it turned into a sore throat that turned into a cold. And then when the fever had subsided enough for me to be up and going to class and completing my homework… I knocked over my water bottle onto my laptop. I dried it […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/12/13/chapter-sixty-eight-misadventure-of-the

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Trains and Chinese Consulates (~jinghan)
It’s 17th November at 5am in the morning. uh huh. 5:30am. I think I had forgotten how beautiful the world could be at 5:30am. The air is cold but perfectly still. Pregnant with possibility, it smells like adventure. The street lights are still on, but not with the weariness that they seem to cast in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/12/13/chapter-sixty-seven-trains-and-chinese-consulates-jinghan

Chapter Sixty Six: Thanksgiving Retreat (~jinghan)
Okay, so you’ve probably been very disappointed with the amount of touristy behaviour I so far have (failed to) display. But in fact, I have been out of Davis! I’ve just usually been too tired by the time I get back to blog about it (sorry!) so here’s all the backfill =D — It’s the 11/11/11 – […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/12/13/chapter-sixty-six-thanksgiving-retreat-jinghan

Chapter Sixty-Five: Live life simply so other may simply live (~jinghan)
Post cards: when you’re in a foreign place you just keep getting drawn to them like a moth to the flame. So I have this stack of postcards sitting on the floor beside my desk (yeah not in my desk, on my desk or even under my desk, but on the floor beside […] -
Chapter Sixty-Four: Good grades for as little learning as possible (~jinghan)
I meet a girl in my class. “Hi, what other subjects are you studying?” “Oh, just this one. I’ve already done the subject, I passed, but I didn’t understand it well enough to get in the grad area of my choice.” But wait? I thought that once you pass a subject, that’s it, you’re free. […] -
Chapter Sixty-Three: Until It Hurts (~jinghan)
I heard a quote from Mother Theresa “The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved.” I have to admit that I know very little else about this woman, but from this one line I felt like she was someone who saw a lot of truth and was someone to be respected.
