  1. Summer school! [nicola]

    Back for Seconds!! Haha… you thought Melb Uni students couldn’t get any more nerdier. Well really, this is rather exciting. I’m currently up at the Dookie campus, an interesting experience, placed in somewhat a rather considerable driving distance from a decent chai with a view from my room looking out to rolling brown hills which […]

  2. Trip Subjects (Georgie)

    At the risk of looking like a complete loser with nothing better to do than blog, I shall post for the third time in a row. Suzanne, I thought we were in this together?! So it is hot Hot HOT! And I am sick of it. But the up side of this is that my […]

  3. My Summer of Freedom (Georgie)

    So I still haven’t gotten a job, perhaps this is because I am not actually looking for one. As it is uncertain as where I will be living this year I’ve decided to wait it out for the next month and a half or however long it takes to find out. The thing is because […]

  4. Back from Ireland (Georgie)

    I am finally home! I got home two days ago after a very long flight from London. Though I probably shouldn’t complain as I got an aisle seat the whole way and was lucky enough to have a spare seat next to me on the way to Bangkok. So I spent christmas in Ireland with […]

  5. Something which I thought was interesting… (Suzanne)

    This article, from Northwestern University in the US, presents the results of an interesting study: apparently, the less a university-level instructor is paid, and the lower their rank, the more likely they are to be better teachers. Tenured professors are considerably less well-rated in quality of teaching surveys than their graduate teaching assistants (known as […]

  7. Results (Suzanne)

    So, they’re out, and I’ve gone from having almost straight H1s last semester to having no H1s this semester. Also, my clarinet mark has dropped by 12 points from the mark I got for the past three semesters. All in all, I think I will stop trying to figure out how they mark these things. […]

  8. Melbourne Model vs Heritage Degrees

    Reasons I wish I were a Melbourne Model student Scholarship money. National Scholarships in my year were holistically assessed on a resume, recommendations, and an interview as well as the ENTER score plus some attempts to try to diversify the backgrounds of the scholar cohort. Now everyone with over a 99.90 gets one, and they’re […]

  9. Getting that travel bug… (Suzanne)

    So, I’m safely home in Hong Kong now. And every time I fly home I remember how much I love long-haul flights. This isn’t sarcasm, either. Where else do you get to watch movies for eight hours on end and get served wine, ice cream, and a selection of newspapers? I also love airports. It’s […]

  10. Still Here (Georgie)

    So I’m still here in Ireland. When I log out of my hotmail account I keep seeing the weather reports for Melbourne and I sigh with envy. Ahh, the sun! Classes have now finished and it’s a study week this week, and while I should be reviewing the entire Macroeconomics course as it’s the subject I […]
