Speaking to a Crowd (Sophie)
Well today was definitely a new experience for me. I THOUGHT I was comfortable speaking in front of people after years of debating ect ect ect….however the most people I’ve ever spoken in front of was about 50. Today I gave a speech on Transition to Uni to 400 prospective Melbourne Uni students and parents! […] -
Overdrive – Sophie
My mind is on overdrive – as usual! Mr HT likens it to his mind which he describes as being like a “V8 engine”! I wouldn’t use such grandiose terminology, but he does understand. Us, together, fired up on a topic is the most intellectually challenging experience…I shudder with fear and excitement to think how […] -
Life Is Just A Series Of Moments
Well…FINALLY, it is over! I have returned from the fire and brimstone of “Academic Hades” (quoting PXW!) Walking out of my final (3.25 hour) accounting exam on Wednesday, I was grinning like a Cheshire cat! I found myself reveling in the moment; after so long and so many complications over the past semester, to know […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/06/14/life-is-just-a-series-of-moments

Best of luck to everyone! [EXAMS] (Sophie)
Hi everyone, I know I have been rather quiet of late and it’s mainly because I have just been so overwhelmingly busy. I am exhausted…and exams are just around the corner but have been keeping fit and healthy so should manage to get through that with no dramas! I just wanted to take the time […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/05/22/best-of-luck-to-everyone-exams-sophie

A dirty little town on the Thames is calling you away… (Sophie)
Nails bitten slowly down to shreds As hope flies its lonely white flag And my heart travels oceans Searching for a destination; an end For the emotions buried down deep In a box labeled “not for the faint-hearted” Too scared to leave the known comfort Of strong arms holding me tightly But he knew what […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/05/14/a-dirty-little-town-on-the-thames-is-calling-you-away

You turn my world upside down, Then you leave (Sophie)
Hey everyone! Sorry for the slightly longer than normal time I spent ignoring the blog. Thanks for all the wonderful comments of support. I have some incredible people around me, that is for sure! Things are a lot better….life goes on, but you only become stronger. Sometimes you need these experiences to give you some […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/05/01/you-turn-my-world-upside-down-then-you-leave

Sideways Falling (Sophie)
I usually live a pretty blessed life, and I am always grateful for that. However this past week has been life-changing in more ways than one. It has been one of the most difficult weeks of my life…and I don’t say that lightly. It never rains – it hail-storms. I’m still here though…and when I […] -
85 Broads? What the hell is that ’bout?
So inspired by Johanna’s mention of attending the 85 Broads launch event next Tuesday night…and much to my excitement that someone I kind-of-sorta-know is attending our launch event, I thought I would take the time to briefly mention to any readers about the existence of 85 Broads on campus. 85 Broads is a global womens’ […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/04/17/85-broads-what-the-hell-is-that-bout

Come sail your ships around me (Sophie)
Sometimes one really doesn’t want to try and study in a house in which parentals love to play Nick Cave at the loudest level possible. Why? Because I find his lyrics way too damn meaningful! He is after all, the prodigy of love song writers. It is too difficult to concentrate on studying for your […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/04/14/come-sail-your-ships-around-me

Red Hot? Questionable. (Sophie)
Saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers last night, live in concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl for their 2nd Melbourne Show on their Stadium Arcadium Tour. It was VERY disappointing. I expected so much more from what I believed to be a “world class” act. They didn’t deliver. In comparison with other experienced lead […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/04/11/red-hot-questionable
