Doing A Okay!
Being back into the swings from mid-semester break, I faced a difficult time last week. I was being very hard on myself. I was putting so much pressure on myself, that I wanted to breakdown last Friday afternoon. I was screaming in frustration in my practice room when I couldn’t play a phrase that I […] -
Third Year Update!
I’m a little bit late into the party, but hello once again, everybody! This is probably the first time that ‘Back for Seconds’ has invited third year blogger(s) into this blog community.

So Long, Farewell
Last week, brings an end to my second year journey, and also this lovely blog community, ‘Back For Seconds’. It has been a crazy year indeed, but it was so worth it. If I can summarise my second year life, it was a rollercoaster, yet again, both emotional, and physically. I can strongly remember how […] -
The End is Thy Near
No time, no see readers! I have been super duper busy lately. Mainly, the workload has been off the charts after the sixth week of semester two. It has been crazy. Today, all of my assessments are FINISHED. DONE! I’m really happy. Now, I just need to focus on my recital exam, which is coming up next week. […] -
Where Did All The Time Go?
Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 8, and it seems like time has gone fast like always every semester. I like it when time goes by fast, but at the same time it is a bit of a worrying when exams will be coming up the next.

Taking A Breather
Sometimes, taking a sleep in is the best idea for a short break. During the past six weeks, it has been very hectic. I was a part of open day, auditioned for AYO (Australian Youth Orchestra), performed in two gigs in MYS (Melbourne Youth Strings) and PGYO (Percy Grainger Youth Orchestra), auditioned for piano duo […] -
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes (Turn and Face the Strange)
Week 1 finished, and boy to be honest, I cannot wait until this week is gone. From what I can tell, changes has occurred once again. New timetable, longer practise hours, new schedule, new work hours, new everything. The one thing I’m most happy, and are most super welcoming that doesn’t change is the people around […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/28/ch-ch-ch-ch-changes-turn-and-face-the-strange

My Fears Before Semester Starts (Recital Preparation)
These past couple of days, and possibly weeks, I have been thinking and worrying about what I’ll be facing these next twelve weeks ahead. I might have been overthinking, but from what I had faced this time last year with my recital preparation has made an impact in my life, all the good, bad and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/25/my-fears-before-semester-starts-recital-preparation

New Conservatorium Is CONFIRMED! AHHH!!!!

It keeps us in the loop of everything, since it is important to know what goes on at the con. You hear that a new Conservatorium is going to be built at VCA, but would have no idea […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/12/new-conservatorium-is-confirmed-ahhh

Turnitin Glitch? (Nicole)
Imagine this, you have successfully written a 2000 word essay in two days, and submitted your essay on turnitin like a boss… while feeling mentally exhausted from formulating ideas into academic sentences. Then, two weeks later, you were excited on going to check your results on the LMS. Things started to go a little odd […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/05/30/turnitin-glitch-nicole
