Results (Suzanne)
So, they’re out, and I’ve gone from having almost straight H1s last semester to having no H1s this semester. Also, my clarinet mark has dropped by 12 points from the mark I got for the past three semesters. All in all, I think I will stop trying to figure out how they mark these things. […] -
Melbourne Model vs Heritage Degrees
Reasons I wish I were a Melbourne Model student Scholarship money. National Scholarships in my year were holistically assessed on a resume, recommendations, and an interview as well as the ENTER score plus some attempts to try to diversify the backgrounds of the scholar cohort. Now everyone with over a 99.90 gets one, and they’re […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/12/09/melbourne-model-vs-heritage-degrees

Getting that travel bug… (Suzanne)
So, I’m safely home in Hong Kong now. And every time I fly home I remember how much I love long-haul flights. This isn’t sarcasm, either. Where else do you get to watch movies for eight hours on end and get served wine, ice cream, and a selection of newspapers? I also love airports. It’s […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/12/04/getting-that-travel-bug-suzanne

Done! And all alone now… (Suzanne)
I finished my last exam today. It was pretty bad because I never even started the 4th essay although I’m pretty sure I nailed the other three so it should still be a pass. Maybe even an H2B with a lot of luck. Anyway, as I was walking out of the Royal Exhibition Building, I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/11/26/done-and-all-alone-now-suzanne

ANAM, AIMP, and UNIMELB (Suzanne)
For those of you who have been following the debacle that is the closure of the Australian National Academy of Music, the below reproduced email is the latest chapter in the saga. You can read the response by Brett Dean, the director of the Academy, here. Dear Colleagues, Today, on behalf of the University, I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/11/18/anam-aimp-and-unimelb-suzanne

We have a house! (Suzanne)
Signed the lease today… gonna be living on Lygon Street(!), albeit relatively far up and not particularly close to the interesting end or uni at all, although still only 20-30 minutes by tram. Can’t wait. I guess it’s a mark of how acclimatised I am to Australia now that I say ‘only’ 20-30 minutes. Back […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/11/14/we-have-a-house-suzanne

My Shiny New Chocolate Frog (Suzanne)
Remember how at the start of the semester I told you about my Contracts lecturer who gives out chocolate frogs for good contributions in class discussions, and then gets the students with the highest frog-counts to battle it out in a quiz competition for a really big frog at the end of semester? Well, in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/30/my-shiny-new-chocolate-frog-suzanne

I’m kind of screwed, but it’ll turn out OK. (Suzanne)
Hello, all. Before I get on with the ‘real’ part of this post, a plug: my friend Mimi is organising a benefit concert for the Sudanese refugee community. The event is MSS-supported, so I feel like I should abuse the captive audience I have here to promote it. The details are: Event: Music For Life: […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/28/week-12-and-beyond-suzanne

I hate re-enrolment (Suzanne)
EDIT: Never mind; apparently, because I do such an obscure degree, there is no fixed course plan and I’m allowed to take whatever subjects I want 🙂 ORIGINAL POST: Well. There goes my wonderfully constructed 6-year plan. Apparently Impressionism to Postmodernism is not being offered next year. Impressionism to Postmodernism is a compulsory music history […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/20/i-hate-re-enrolment-suzanne
