We have a house! (Suzanne)
Signed the lease today… gonna be living on Lygon Street(!), albeit relatively far up and not particularly close to the interesting end or uni at all, although still only 20-30 minutes by tram. Can’t wait. I guess it’s a mark of how acclimatised I am to Australia now that I say ‘only’ 20-30 minutes. Back […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/11/14/we-have-a-house-suzanne

Irish Update (Georgie)
I feel I have been a bit absent from the blog of late, so hi again! And I hope everyone is going well in exams/last assignments. I am still in Dublin, where it is getting colder by the day. I have friends and family back in Melbourne telling me how nice the weather is getting, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/11/12/irish-update-georgie

Unusually emotional (Kripa’s last post)
This year, it is not the ending of the year that kind of disappoints me. I should be happy about that but the strange feeling I have never had before is the respect towards our lecturers. Although one of my subjects on Nutrition was quite daunting, our lecturer was the one who provided good feedback […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/31/unusually-emotional-kripas-last-post

My Shiny New Chocolate Frog (Suzanne)
Remember how at the start of the semester I told you about my Contracts lecturer who gives out chocolate frogs for good contributions in class discussions, and then gets the students with the highest frog-counts to battle it out in a quiz competition for a really big frog at the end of semester? Well, in […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/30/my-shiny-new-chocolate-frog-suzanne

I’m kind of screwed, but it’ll turn out OK. (Suzanne)
Hello, all. Before I get on with the ‘real’ part of this post, a plug: my friend Mimi is organising a benefit concert for the Sudanese refugee community. The event is MSS-supported, so I feel like I should abuse the captive audience I have here to promote it. The details are: Event: Music For Life: […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/28/week-12-and-beyond-suzanne

‘Mullbourne You nee’ (Kripa)
I love random writings on the walls, that often are humourous. This one was on a construction cabin on Monash road. At first, I didn’t get what the second word said. But when I read it aloud in my head, I got it. Whoever wrote that, you made my day with a smile, eventhough I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/24/mullbourne-you-nee-kripa

I hate re-enrolment (Suzanne)
EDIT: Never mind; apparently, because I do such an obscure degree, there is no fixed course plan and I’m allowed to take whatever subjects I want 🙂 ORIGINAL POST: Well. There goes my wonderfully constructed 6-year plan. Apparently Impressionism to Postmodernism is not being offered next year. Impressionism to Postmodernism is a compulsory music history […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/20/i-hate-re-enrolment-suzanne

House hunting (Suzanne)
I am currently rather nervous for the status of a rental application I made today. You see, there’s a really lovely three bedroom house my housemates and I want. We reckon someone must have been murdered in it or something because there’s no other way such a nice 3-bedroom in Parkville would cost so little […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/18/house-hunting-suzanne

The Universal Order (David)
You give up your seat for the elderly; you hold on to your kit-kat wrapper for miles on end till you find a bin; you tell the truth when it counts; you stand in the queue with patience and dignity; you hand in the pink iPod that you find in a lecture theatre; you offer […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/10/07/the-universal-order-david

Changes? (Georgie)
Suzanne, it worked! Someone else decided to join in. I was talking (read: exchanging facebook posts on a thread) with friends from Melbourne the other day and one of the comments, replying to ‘What’s going on at home’, was: ‘Not much, just the same really. It’s funny because you guys are going on exchange and […]
