Uh, wait, wha-? (Silvia)
So I just checked my exam results aaaaand… What. The. Heck. I don’t know if I should be skipping across the room and throwing streamers in the air because I received the grade I hoped for in Australian Wildlife Biology, or rocking back and forth in the foetal position because my lowest grade was for […] -
Darned body clock! (Silvia)
I said I would post again when I caught up on my sleep. But we all know I exaggerate because I’m that kind of person. So when I tell you I’m sitting straight in my chair, all perky and smiley and creepily happy, you can bet I’m actually stooped over my laptop with dark circles […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/28/darned-body-clock-silvia

Pounding Headache (Silvia)
It’s six-thirty in the morning and I have been up for an hour and a half, studying for the subject I am the worst in. I decided extra cramming isn’t going to make much of a difference and I’ve still got an hour before I leave, so here I am! I yearn for the warmth […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/21/pounding-headache-silvia

Payday (Silvia)
“These boots are so steampunk! I gotta get a pair. Woohoo, they’re on sale for… uh, $60? I suppose that’s okay. I’ll wait till next week when The Big Boss pays me.” “Oh wow, a paperback edition of Matthew Reilly’s new book! It costs $23 and let me check my wallet… oh. I guess I […] -
I really should be ________ (fill in with whatever you’re procrastinating from) (Silvia)
I really should be studying for my VERY BIG AND IMPORTANT exams. I know students are given a week off university to prepare for their exams but who actually uses that scrap of time to cram in twelve weeks worth of lectures for four subjects? I’m betting most people use that time to catch up […] -
On track (Silvia)
I still remember last year’s disastrous exams and my vow to never let procrastination dominate my life again. It didn’t hold up most of the time but I’m not as bad as I was last year. I start assignments well before they’re due and I study for quizzes and tests instead of googling answers or […] -
Universe, O how I adore thee (Silvia)
“I, Silvia LastnamethatIshallnotreveal, solemnly swear that I as a student, who needs as many marks as she can scrape to pass university this year, will not buy any more books until the exam period is over.” When I made that vow, I made it with honesty and integrity, with my best interests in mind. Ever […] -
Laptop and Bubblecup (Silvia)
The last time I posted here, I vaguely remember shifting left and right on my buttocks and trying to find a comfortable position on a concrete floor while slamming my keyboard and trying to balance it on a fat book that acted like an unstable desk. Hunger had gnawed at my stomach and physics books […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/04/24/laptop-and-bubblecup-silvia

Numb Butt (Silvia)
I am positive I have mentioned my most favourite building in Melbourne University multiple times– the Chemistry building. Even though it’s one of the most ancient buildings and is a little bit run down (because of the stains on some of the seats), I like going there during my (massive three, four, five hour) breaks. […] -
Trains are where the weirdos congregate (Silvia)
After a time span of one year and one month, I have travelled on enough trains and observed enough specimens to gather sufficient evidence to prove this hypothesis. Allow me to recite two of many anecdotes to demonstrate why I believe trains are where the weirdos congregate. Observation #1 I was minding my own business […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/03/12/trains-are-where-the-weirdos-congregate-silvia
