And here comes another year…
Hola. A big welcome to our new firsties, and to those who have graduated to the second year blog, as well as to the great unwashed adolescent masses who will be upon us soon for Orientation Week. A new year, of course, also means new existential reflection on the meaning of life so far and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2010/02/20/and-here-comes-another-year

And then there was SALP
Still on holidays obviously. There is one other thing that’s driving me mad at the moment apart from boredom, and that is – SALP. Yes, it’s the Uni’s Student Ambassador Leadership Program. Thing is, I have to do at least 40 hours of Community Service for a non-profit organisation (that’s on top of the 20 […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2010/02/16/and-then-there-was-salp

Jet Lag
I just got back yesterday. Or so I thought. I barely knew what day it was, yet alone what time it was. I opened the door, and crashed. I was exhausted. Forgot how damn tiring a 48 hour trip can be. Especially if you have a weird lady buying you drinks in Amsterdam, you never […] -
Bored with the holidays – oh yes, I do believe there’s something wrong with me
It’s a new year again – new resolutions anyone? Hmm… considering that I was able to keep my very unambitious (my Dad’s description, not mine) resolution from last year, maybe I’ll try making another one. Sure, it’s already February but since the Chinese just had their new year celebration, and I’m always being mistaken as […] -
Igloofest
Trying to refrain from writing too many posts – for fear of flooding out the whole page with my writings. (Unfortunately?) it is heading in that direction. J’aime apprendre le français et biologie. Which is good, because my life consists of french and biology. Still have an inner hatred for current academic testing methods (a.k.a […] -
Grandescunt Aucta Labore
Here is just a quick update on what has been happening in the past week or so since coming to Montreal. It feels like it has been forever – but in fact has only been a just over a week since I got here. Its cold (-18C!) and today has decided to make up for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2010/01/14/grandescunt-aucta-labore

Montreal!
Guess where I am?! Uni starts tomorrow – and its all nerves and excitement from here on. It is cold. very cold. -
Summer. Christmas. Winter
I’m writing this while listening to a French CD (how to speak french…) this multitasking is making neither work properly. Leaving Aus in 40C heat and arriving (eventually) in England – WHERE IT IS SNOWING – I’m hoping for a white Christmas this year. Of perhaps more importance to this blog, I finished off the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/12/23/summer-christmas-winter

What I’m doing for the next year or so…
Because it might be that long before you get another update 🙂 Summer: heading back to Hong Kong to help my dad translate his new textbook into English, then heading back to Melbourne to take two summer subjects (Legal Ethics, Evidence). In the meantime, rewriting the MSS constitution to take into account the changes post-VCA […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/12/06/what-im-doing-for-the-next-year-or-so

Heterokontophycaea and others
I feel somewhat justified writing a post, post-exams – as I have now commenced (4 days after my last exam) Marine Phytoplankton and Marine Botany summer school. Two subjects, two weeks, four exams and 25 points ahead. They call it ‘intensive’ subjects for a reason, and now – come Thursday – my social life consists […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/12/03/heterokontophycaea-and-others
