Back Home (Georgie)
Yes, I am finally back in Melbourne after a month and a half trip to Canada and the US.I had an epic journey back which included delayed planes and the airline putting me for a night in LA and Auckland each, meaning I missed out on three 21sts I was meant to go to on […] -
‘Tis the night before..you know..
Semester 2 starts for most UoM students tomorrow. There’s a few things that I could and should be doing right now, e.g. reading through my lecture notes or at least printing out my timetable, but no – here I am surfing the net for the Nth time these holidays, not to mention Facebooking. I’ve had […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/07/26/tis-the-night-beforeyou-know

Pituita me tenet
go Alloc8! Since dropping down to three subjects, and having complete clashes on two of my subjects, all I have is: Tues mornings All day Thursday + a selection of lectures (min three/max five of them) that have to be listened online due to clashes. This is the first time I haven’t had to come […] -
In Virginia (Georgie)
Well hello there. I’m gald you could join me. Pull up a chair, stick your feet up and relax while I bore you with my travel stories from the lovely U.SofA . At the moment I am in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, in a library. It is a little, old, historic town. Kind of like a better […] -

What now?
It’s the 2nd week of holidays… and I am running out of things to do. If I have my way, I would actually prefer to have 2 weeks’ worth of holidays then have the 12 weeks of semester broken up into 3 or 4 week chunks with 2-week breaks in-between. But hey, that’s just me. I’ve gotten […] -
Singapore!
Sitting in Singapore with cousins from around the world is a bit surreal, although the food (and expanding waistline) is real enough. I’m over here for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, which is amazing – and so the entire family is here, some Indian, some Canadian – and of course the aussies. However, both my […] -
Done!
Two weeks ago I finished exams, so now I am writing this from my room in Hong Kong, in the midst of 30-degree heat mitigated by 15-degree air conditioning. And thus ends another semester. For those keeping count, that’s 5 down, 7 to go. It’s a little bit surreal. Many of my friends from my […] -
Canadia (Georgie)
So, a very quick post before I head off for dinner and attempt to dry my hair without a hairdryer. I’m in Canada! And it’s great. There is an excess of short hair and baseball cap wearing guys and in Montreal, there seems to be a severe shortage of guys t-shirts as I think I […] -
Exams tragedy
I was already supposed to be done with ALL my exams by Friday afternoon in the same way that I am already supposed to be enjoying my 5 weeks of reprieve from studies as of yesterday. That is not the case, unfortunately.
