Chapter Eighteen: That Long Distance Thing (~jinghan)
I always thought that it was the quality of the time you spend with someone that mattered the most… but perhaps the quality of the time you spend away from someone is just as, if not more, important. — The ERC (Easter Resource Centre) is quiet, but not too quiet. There’s a gentle hum of […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/05/03/chapter-eighteen-that-long-distance-thing-jinghan

musings of the fourth year
Only 25 days left of university. forever. And I’ve just realised that for those of you who have been (sadly?) following my life since day 1 at uni a lot has changed and happened. This post will be leaning to the more nostalgic side of expression… … Since I last left you I had broken […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/05/03/musings-of-the-fourth-year

$$$
“Quality and quantity” always seemed like a perfectly ambitious way to approach life. I pondered this when as a school student I was always told “quality over quantity”, particularly when critised for writing long essays that rambled on about nothing or giving speeches with a similar problem. The two philosophies are separated in order to prevent them from […] -
Reality check
First of all, my apologies for disappearing for the past few weeks. 4 mid-semester exams + a job that is ending (closing down) in a few weeks + attempting to have a life (and failing miserably) = a very cranky Luke. Houdini could learn something from my vanishing act. As the Easter break ends tonight, I […] -
Chapter Seventeen: If ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise (~jinghan)
People are understanding. But I still feel guilty. “Hi, I short circuited my stress fuse. So I don’t think I’ll be able to come to your party today. Have a nice birthday none the less. I hope you understand.” It has come to a point where my love affair with my planner has gotten out […] -
Chapter Sixteen: The Pursuit Continued (~jinghan)
I have to come out and admit, I’ve had a pretty dodgy semester so far. I’ve been sick, encountered death for the first time, suffered insomnia, struggled to concentrate in class and struggling to feel that same enthusiasm towards my studies as I did last year. It was perhaps an unexpected but good choice for me to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/25/chapter-sixteen-the-pursuit-continued-jinghan

Chapter Fifteen: Stress Ball (~jinghan)
Note From the Author: This is something that happened a week and a half ago, I had blogged it out in my mind but then forgot to blog it out for real. So here you are, more glorious ranting about swimming. Sometimes you end up spending those hours between classes and after classes hanging out […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/23/chapter-fifteen-fish-jinghan

Chapter Fourteen: Second Awakening (~jinghan)
I curl up tightly under the doona in my dark room. And hour ago I had crawled out of bed ready to go out: a day with the family and driving hours for my licence. I amble to the loo, pain, and then blood in my urine. And an hour later I’m back in bed listening […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/23/chapter-fourteen-second-awakening-jinghan

Chapter Thirteen: The Pursuit of Happiness (~jinghan)
I have been tossing an turning trying to work out what topic to choose for my Knowledge, Learning and Culture essay… Maths? Teaching? But then an idea strikes me and I know that nothing else will be quite as good in comparison: Happiness. — A great sadness wells up inside me, and pours forth in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/22/chapter-thirteen-the-pursuit-of-happiness-jinghan

Chapter Twelve: A Day Worth Living (~jinghan)
“Arg its so early…” I groan squinting at the light and rubbing at my eyes groggily. My sister turns to me with a unamused look. I like to tease her on Thursday mornings – the only morning when I wake up early enough to run into her in the morning. For her this is a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/07/chapter-twelve-a-nice-day-jinghan
