  1. Done! And all alone now… (Suzanne)

    I finished my last exam today. It was pretty bad because I never even started the 4th essay although I’m pretty sure I nailed the other three so it should still be a pass. Maybe even an H2B with a lot of luck. Anyway, as I was walking out of the Royal Exhibition Building, I […]

  2. ANAM, AIMP, and UNIMELB (Suzanne)

    For those of you who have been following the debacle that is the closure of the Australian National Academy of Music, the below reproduced email is the latest chapter in the saga. You can read the response by Brett Dean, the director of the Academy, here. Dear Colleagues, Today, on behalf of the University, I […]

  3. 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 […]

  4. 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, […]

  5. 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 […]

  6. 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 […]

  7. 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: […]

  8. ‘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 […]

  9. 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 […]

  10. 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 […]
