Chapter Seventeen: Another Op’nin, Another Show ♬♪♫ (~jinghan)
♫ Another op’nin, another show In Southbank, Parkville, or Baltimo’ A chance for strange folks to say hello! Another op’nin of another show. ♫* The University of Melbourne Open Day (which henceforth will be called “Open Day”) has always been a big event on my calendar since before I had even graduated primary school. (My dad has worked at […] -
A short post, in which I feel a little resigned, before going back to writing this bloody assignment.
This post is largely going to be full of complaints about things I don’t have much control over. 3 years! Or, at least, nearly 3 years. What will I do with myself? I thought I’d know by now. All I really know is that I want to help people – somehow – or maybe go […] -
Chapter Sixteen: Ode To Melancholy (~jinghan)
This semester I’m doing a placement with the In2Science program, mentoring in a primary school maths class for a couple of days a week. It’s my second placement and the students are doing some work on ratios – which, I soon found out, are hard to explain in a clear concise manner off the top […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/08/14/chapter-sixteen-ode-to-melancholy-jinghan

Chapter Fifteen: Bring a camera… or a phone (~jinghan)
What do Jinghan’s dread? Jinghan’s dread 3:15-5:15 statistics tutorials with a computer lab component. Uh huh. Brings back bad memories of probability tutorials where I would franticly try and keep up with what other people were doing, by which I mean I would spend the whole class going “huh? What does that mean? What’s this […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/08/09/chapter-fifteen-bring-a-camera-or-a-phone-jinghan

*Flashy music for a flashy entrance* (Silvia)
After the tragedy of last semester’s results, I vowed to devote my mind, body and soul to my studies. I saw myself butt-superglued-to-chair with a pile of textbooks and notes in front of me. I saw myself scribbling away into the wee hours of the night and waking up at the crack of dawn to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/08/03/flashy-music-for-a-flashy-entrance-silvia

Chapter Fourteen: Beyond Uni… What to do with one’s life… (~jinghan)
Note from the Author: First, you’ll be glad to know that this will actually be a somewhat relatively emotionally sober post… Second, you’ll be disappointed to know that this post probably has more questions than answers, despite what the title suggests… “I’ve done something really stupid, Jinghan!” “What happened?” “I miss the first round of law […] -
Chapter Thirteen: The Bigger World (~jinghan)
At the moment I have been thinking quite a lot about what I’ll be doing after I graduate. My plan is to eventually teach, but people are also encouraging me to do a Masters in maths. But now and again my hunger for more learning is half-hearted at best, which leads me to think wonder […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/07/26/chapter-thirteen-the-bigger-world-jinghan

Chapter Twelve: Of Jealousy and Pride (~jinghan)
When you are at your prime; when you are the smart one, the cool one, the one in control, the brave, the strong and the winner — Jealousy is a strange concept that has no real meaning in your world. It is something other people feel. And you may ven remark to them that you […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/07/25/chapter-twelve-of-jealousy-and-pride-jinghan

Long time, no see [Daniel]
I’ve been travelling around Europe for the last month, after a year of saving. And… It’s been good I’ve learnt things, seen globalisation to a crazy extent (Toblerone is apparently a specialty in Qatar), and enjoyed the hospitality of past friends and acquaintances. I’d recommend it for anyone who has the time (money) or the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/07/19/long-time-no-see-daniel

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 […]
