Uh, wait, wha-? (Silvia)
So I just checked my exam results aaaaand… What. The. Heck. I don’t know if I should be skipping across the room and throwing streamers in the air because I received the grade I hoped for in Australian Wildlife Biology, or rocking back and forth in the foetal position because my lowest grade was for […] -
Darned body clock! (Silvia)
I said I would post again when I caught up on my sleep. But we all know I exaggerate because I’m that kind of person. So when I tell you I’m sitting straight in my chair, all perky and smiley and creepily happy, you can bet I’m actually stooped over my laptop with dark circles […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/28/darned-body-clock-silvia

Part 2: The Learning (William)
Second year, 4 subjects, all science WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! Okay so here is what I thought of each subject, note others do not agree, its all about a matter of taste really 😀 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology – So with my rather rubbish marks in chemistry 1 & 2 from last year I thought […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/26/part-2-the-learning-william

Part 1: Where Does The Time Go?! (William)
Okay……….. So I know I said on my first post that I would be keeping in touch as much as possible, well I guess that I found out that most people suck with commitments, it is totally hard to commit to anything (Study, Writing on a Blog, Promises and Driving through Red Lights, you know […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/25/part-1-where-does-the-time-go-william

Pounding Headache (Silvia)
It’s six-thirty in the morning and I have been up for an hour and a half, studying for the subject I am the worst in. I decided extra cramming isn’t going to make much of a difference and I’ve still got an hour before I leave, so here I am! I yearn for the warmth […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/21/pounding-headache-silvia

Payday (Silvia)
“These boots are so steampunk! I gotta get a pair. Woohoo, they’re on sale for… uh, $60? I suppose that’s okay. I’ll wait till next week when The Big Boss pays me.” “Oh wow, a paperback edition of Matthew Reilly’s new book! It costs $23 and let me check my wallet… oh. I guess I […] -
I really should be ________ (fill in with whatever you’re procrastinating from) (Silvia)
I really should be studying for my VERY BIG AND IMPORTANT exams. I know students are given a week off university to prepare for their exams but who actually uses that scrap of time to cram in twelve weeks worth of lectures for four subjects? I’m betting most people use that time to catch up […] -
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! -
On track (Silvia)
I still remember last year’s disastrous exams and my vow to never let procrastination dominate my life again. It didn’t hold up most of the time but I’m not as bad as I was last year. I start assignments well before they’re due and I study for quizzes and tests instead of googling answers or […] -
Chapter Ten: A Lazy Saturday (~jinghan)
I had a week of death: a presentation on Saturday (with a 6:30am rise), midterm on Monday, another presentation on Thursday, another midterm on Friday. And as a new obligation-free Saturday rolls around I’m looking forward to making up for the (lack of) hours of sleep I’ve been anxiously counting all week. I fantasise about my gloriously […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/05/21/chapter-ten-a-lazy-saturday-jinghan
