This is it (Gianina)
Oh hello there. I am quite surprised that I still have author privileges for this blog. Some of you might be wondering who the hell am I. But I suppose that’s to be expected, since I left everything hanging about, oh, three months ago. Fast forward to this month then — Yes, I have indeed […] -
Chapter Eight: Slow Torture of the Sleep Deprived Mind (~jinghan)
It’s Thursday 11am. “Listen to the crackle of the beanbag beans,” I tell myself, “the mumble of a whispered conversation, the quite snore of someone else on the beanbags. Listen to the gentle hum of the air conditioning, the quiet buzz of the film being played through the headphones. Feel the pressure of the ground […] -
FML
I went to see Mark Ronson perform at the Palace Theatre on Bourke St last week – all in all a great concert, despite the mood being soured by one particularly individual with whom I made acquaintance. The conversation when something like this: Random: hey man, are you a uni student? Me: yeah man, I’m […] -
Chapter Seven: Sick and Tired (~jinghan)
“Ah… but what happened to your negative?” I ask my student knowingly. “But didn’t I factorised it out?” I look at the page again. Shit. She did too. I’m being out-mathsed by a yr12 student. “Oh damn you did too! You’ll be teaching me soon!” I joke, “It’s not my fault, I’m sick.” I make […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/18/chapter-seven-sick-and-tired-jinghan

Secret diary of a uni student
That’s what it feels like these days; it’s mountains and mountains of homework and obligations. It feels like no-one understands; like you’re drowning in an empty ocean……until you realise you’re surrounded by people in the exact same ‘boat’ (if I can continue with this metaphor). It’s confusing and altogether unpleasant. But it’s life and nothing […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/18/secret-diary-of-a-uni-student

Chapter Six: Toughen Up. (~jinghan)
Note from the author: I could be getting some well deserved sleep but this post is a week overdue, pretend I’m writing this five days ago. I’m agnostic. But if I believe in some God(dess) of fixed identity, then s/he is a very sly cheeky deity that answers prayers in the most obscure of ways. It was Wednesday […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/15/chapter-six-toughen-up-jinghan

Decisions – also, fetish clubs?!
Hello and welcome to another round of Shannon-style throwing words at the audience blogging. I’ve been a busy little bumblebee, or so it seems. Not in terms of doing much Uni work – mostly in terms of trying to keep up with birthdays and events and the occasional “HEY MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY, REMEMBER MY FACE?” appearance.

Second week withdrawals
As the second week of university comes to a close, the work is speeding up and time seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Or I’m just losing motivation…..already. What I used to get done in about an hour now seems to take me a week. Even this how-ever-many words blog has taken me an […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/11/second-week-withdrawals

2nd week [Daniel]
Well it’s been busy, and hectic, and a whole lot of this that and the other. And and and….. <- literally the way my life has been feeling, there's no steady helping of commas or full stops just a constant flow of consciousness. It could be the moving out; the lack of a job still […] -
Chapter Five: Drifting Off and Slowly Sinking (~jinghan)
My belly feels bloated, and my brain too. But not the crammed-with-interesting-thoughts sort but the blubby-useless-for-anything sort. It’s so bloated that I can’t even work out why I’m feeling like I’m slowly sinking in a world where other people have noble and passionate goals and I’m just drifting through. It’s Monday. And I’m staring at […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/08/chapter-five-drifting-off-and-slowly-sinking-jinghan
