Jinghan In The Kitchen I: Cold-Served Soba Noodles
In high-school a friend of mine had an imaginary cooking show whose theme song we made up and went something like this: “Beccy in the kitchen, the kitchen, the kitchen… Beccy in the kitchen… run. a. way.” Followed by something like “today Beccy will be cooking choc-chip cookies… oh wait we ran out of choc-chips […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/23/jinghan-in-the-kitchen-i-cold-served-soba-noodles

Chapter Sixty-One: Math (not maths) (~jinghan)
Okay, so being on exchange, I actually have to study. (So unfair, right?) “So what’s your major?” is one of those typical questions people ask you when they first meet you. “Maths.” “Mass…?” “Ma-TH-s” “Oh! Math! Is it hard?” Yeah American’s call it “math”. — The thing about uni in America is that I have […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/23/chapter-sixty-one-work-is-a-synonym-of-study-jinghan

Chapter Sixty: Long Distance Friendships (~jinghan)
I realised that since I’ve been here I haven’t really had time to talk to you about anything non-trivial about my life. It’s like when you’ve been friends with someone for a while and then you realise that all the conversations you’ve ever had are somewhat smallish talk. Actually it is very much like that: […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/23/chapter-sixty-long-distance-friendships-jinghan

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Parent Appreciation Day (~jinghan)
Pick a day in Jinghan’s life. Say x for some x after Jinghan came to Davis. On day x, Jinghan comes home from uni. She has probably been to class for 3-4hours and studied in the study hall for 4-5hours. What Jinghan would like to do is finish her homework (oh yeah – they give […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/16/chapter-fifty-nine-parent-appreciation-day-jinghan

Chapter Fifty-Eight: Faceblind (~jinghan)
There are two things you notice when you go somewhere completely new where none of the people you are able to see in person are people you have known for more than a month… there are so many new names and faces to remember (I’ve taken to smiling at everyone that makes eye contact with […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/16/chapter-fifty-eight-faceblind-jinghan

Aint got nothin’ to say: a quick update that doesn’t skimp on the poor grammatical choices!
Howdy good mornin’ forks! Technically it’s the afternoon but I’m not into technicalities (unless it will win me some argument). I’ll break this into dot points, for your convenience! – Changin’ into Arts next semester, meeting up with a careers person tomorrow! – My mum thinks I’m a nymphomaniac that only broke up with my […] -
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Unexpected Journey (~jinghan)
Exchange? Yeah it was supposed to be a journey about the challenges of living on my own for the first time, about discovering American culture, I would even way it was supposed to be about interacting with other international students*. I never came here looking for a spiritual journey – surely not in California the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/03/chapter-fifty-seven-unexpected-journey-jinghan

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Game (~jinghan)
American football is actually really interesting. And personally I think it’s much more sophisticated than australian rules football, which – lets be honest – constitutes a bunch of sweaty muddy men chasing after a awkwardly bouncing ball. American footballers? Not a spec of mud. And there’s some intense tactic work going on. There’s some intelligent play going […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/03/chapter-fifty-six-the-game-jinghan

Chapter Fifty-Five: Less Beer? (~jinghan)
As I was reading this article, it occured to me that even if you aren’t a “drinker” you feel the pressure to be able to talk about alcohol, or say “I know a friend who…” and heck I even catch myself being surprised when someone days “I don’t drink.” without gushing out some excuse. […]
