The Finale, Farewell
A comment by a reader of the blog got me thinking….where have I been and where am I now? In First Year I was a bright-eyed, optimistic and excited student, determined to take advantage of every opportunity that possibly existed for me at The University of Melbourne. Being the first in my immediate family to […] -
Back On A Plane!
I’ve just found out tonight that I’m going back to Italy in September over the mid-semester break!!! I am so excited! I can’t believe this is really happening….I get to visit lots of little old towns, see the Bay of Naples, explore more of the Tuscany region, return to Florence, check out Milan….if I’m lucky […] -
Third Week Thoughts

Finding A Home Away From Home
I am so elated in this moment…despite recovering from a bad cold and blocked ears (almost burst an eardrum on descent to Hong Kong!!). Europe has been the experience of a lifetime for me.

I have to say….the powers of networking are incredible. Sometimes […] -

A University Life
Third year has been a bit of a challenge….just in the sense of work-load increasing dramatically along with difficulty and all that jazz. The other day walking through South Lawn at dusk, I did however realise how much I would miss the place once I’m gone. The Melbourne University campus still holds such a vibe […] -
On The Bright Side Of Life (Sophie)
Well…life is really good right now. Of course; I am stressed with the fact exams are just weeks away and my exam timetable only gives me 2 days between each exam…but apart from that, I have met some really cool people lately and I am salivating at the thought of Europe!
