  1. Two weeks in, ten weeks out (Suzanne)

    You know, I am really going to have to work on making more concise posts. I did a word count on several recent ones. 1500 words. That’s more than many of our new first years are writing for their essays. But I am the kind of person who likes gory details. And there must be […]

  2. Back to School (Georgie)

    So hello! It is now the end of my second week of semester, and it is going quite well I think. I thought since I have only five contact hours (yes, thank you for asking, I am a genius and it is a full load) I would get a bit bored, but I’ve been pretty […]

  3. I love big companies… [nicola]

    … because they have nice food at their information sessions. Which is free and one can probably get away with eating dinner’s worth in sushi and party pies. The past couple of weeks have been full of information, my general day starting at 9am and finishing at 7:30pm (due to company’s info sessions being at […]

  4. Last time I checked, I wasn’t an Arts student (Gianina)

    … so how come my readings consist of German dialectology, The Republic by Plato and some stuff by Aristotle? Not that I’m complaining. The particular part of The Republic that I have to read was surprisingly easy to understand, unlike, say, 90% of my past readings. That aside, I just discovered yesterday how I hate going […]

  5. Anxious rants version2.0 (Gianina)

    Originally I wanted to wait until the first day of semester to have my first post as a second-year blogger; however, fickle-minded person that I am, I obviously changed my mind. So here I am – fresh from the first year blog. For those who read only the second year blog and not the first year […]

  6. Transition time. [nicola]

    Does anyone out there feel old? Wandering around campus yesterday for O-week to sign up for various clubs etc (union/gym)… and to post up various ‘textbooks for sale’  on random subject related walls (buy my textbooks!) – I noticed various friends of my brother (2yrs junior to me) checking out the rowdy and enjoying various […]

  7. Semester 3 (of 12) – oh the joy (Yuan)

    While most UoM students are enjoying the last few days of their holidays and the nervous first-years are happily wandering around the campus for O-week, I am already in my second week of semester 3. Medicine likes to cram as much as they could but alas, there is too much to cram so they add […]

  8. Come to O-week at the Music Faculty!

    To all incoming music students, music-as-breadth students, and other students with even a vague interest in music: We, the Melbourne University Music Students’ Society, have a whole bunch of awesome things planned for you over the coming week. Like free pancakes. And a free pizza lunch. And lots of other things that are so awesome […]

  9. Two days in the life (Suzanne)

    Remember that post I was talking about earlier? I’ve totally forgotten what I was going to say. So instead, I shall commemorate the release of semester 1 timetables today with a comparison of my schedule last semester and my schedule during the holidays. Last semester, A Typical Tuesday: 07:30. Wake up, walk downstairs to college […]

  10. Luddite rantings. (Suzanne)

    OK, so the blog is back after a period of being spammed, and we have a spiffy new version of WordPress that is apparently more secure. I had a post, but I think I will put it up after I figure out how to use this newfangled contraption.
