Twiddling my thumbs.
I’ve done precisely nothing this semester break. Other than household chores and making delicious things and reading lots of books and trying to find that sweet spot between idle and busy in which I can actually relax. It’s a good thing though; it means that I’m all geared up for some learning next semester. I’m […] -
University of Melbourne Exam Advice (from an exhausted veteran).
I've had three hours sleep over the last two days, and my last exam for this semester ended officially 2 hours ago, so it seemed like the perfect time to write a post full of exam advice! -
Help is at hand/Help is not at hand
Sitting in the Frank Tate with an umbrella, my bag, a water bottle, and some snacks to keep me awake (sssh don’t tell). I’ve been working on my first year psychology assignment, and I’m up to the part where I have to talk about the way we percieve motion using ACMI’s Screen Worlds as a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/04/20/help-is-at-handhelp-is-not-at-hand

Day in the life of.
Friday. 6am. Slam my palm in the general direction of my beeping phonebrick: miss, slam again. Clothes. Kettle. Lunch. Face. Breakfast. Milk out of date as of today. Seems alright. Remember I can’t drink caffeine. No chamomile tea left. Putting on the kettle was redundant. Blast. Keys. Wallet. Phone. Bag. Sprint from my front door […] -
A tipping point?
Maybe I wasn’t cut out for uni to begin with? I feel like everything is over my head, and that I should understand things better… On the other hand, I’ve only done Psych for three weeks, so perhaps I should be less hard on myself. But I look at this project – only 1000 words! […] -
Old traps.
Trying my best to not fall into the same traps as last year. – Inability to Focus (due to money issues, people around me being less than helpful, boyfriend being distracting, family issues, crippling self-esteem issues, back pains etc…) leading to – Crappy Scores leading to – Demoralisation leading to – Inability to Focus mixed […] -
NO OFFER.
A letter from VTAC, addressed to me. I rip it open, enjoying the sound of tearing paper. NO OFFER. Written in capitals, bold, and size 18 font. How polite! I complain to my bemused housemate, waving the letter around. They even included a pamphlet telling me how to accept my NO OFFER offer! Rub it in, VTAC, rub it in! -
Poor.
The moment when you realise you can’t afford to buy $2 burgers from McDonalds is the moment you realise how poor you are. Having lived only two weeks on a budget of $30, I can declare to you that I need a damned job. Centrelink is paying me the maximum amount of both Youth […] -
Ruminating on Plans Gone Awry – Money, Moving, VTAC Offers
This is a post about being a good sister (*cough*martyr*cough) and not getting your own way. I’ve been living with my boyfriend for the past six months in a lovely mansion – a heritage listed one, no less – that he rents with 4 other friends. Rent has been very cheap for me and my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/01/16/ruminating-on-plans-gone-awry-money-moving-vtac-offers

Aint got nothin’ to say: a quick update that doesn’t skimp on the poor grammatical choices!
Howdy good mornin’ forks! Technically it’s the afternoon but I’m not into technicalities (unless it will win me some argument). I’ll break this into dot points, for your convenience! – Changin’ into Arts next semester, meeting up with a careers person tomorrow! – My mum thinks I’m a nymphomaniac that only broke up with my […]
