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 […] -
The urge to interrupt (Kripa)
Why did I put up this post? Well, actually, for no logical reason. I regularly check this site to check what’s up with everyone else and I see only 2 girls working hard to update this site. Good on you, my friends! And that’s why I had the crazy idea (maybe not crazy..) to interrupt […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/25/the-urge-to-interrupt-kripa

A Shameless (But Worthwhile) Plug: Justice v Peace (Suzanne)
Hello readers, All interested parties are cordially invited and encouraged to attend a public lecture on Wednesday 8 October. It is a very cool lecture on the role of international criminal law (that’s prosecuting war criminals, for the laypeople out there) in post-conflict societies, with an all-star cast including the VP of the Darfur Australia […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/24/a-shameless-but-worthwhile-plug-justice-v-peace-suzanne

A Dilemma (Georgie)
Suzanne, I’m feeling a bit guilty that we are dominating the blog. I do love reading your posts though. I’m really loving college and am excited to get into study and societies and am sort of wishing that I applied for a year long exchange instead of just a semester. When I applied I was […] -
Rowing (Georgie)
I joined the rowing club and started today. It was really great and there were lots of Irish students, rather than just internationals. I think I’m going to like it here. -
Decisions, decisions (Suzanne)
I am the type of person who cannot leave the house to go to a party without checking Google Maps five times to make sure I know every step of the way there. Sometimes Google Earth as well, so I know what the surrounding area looks like in case I get lost. Needless to say, […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/20/decisions-decisions-suzanne

So many places, too little time (Georgie)
Right now I am sitting in the loungeroom, in my newly bought, enormous, white dressing gown with a bunch of international students. 1st of all, I’m feeling very stupid (yet again) that I only speak english, further entrenching the idea in my head that I want to learn Spanish in the near future. I’m sitting […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/18/so-many-places-too-little-time-georgie

I’m not an excuse to procrastinate, I’m a real little post! (Suzanne)
^ In case you didn’t get it, that’s supposed to be a Pinocchio reference. Anyway. Since this is my second night in a row procrastinating instead of doing something productive, I figured you deserved a real post rather than snarky comments on my YouTube misadventures. So here is what is going on in my life […] -
A Nothing Post (Georgie)
I started classes this week, they were good. The system is quitelike Melbourne Uni, so that’s good. I have to start working out what I want to do with my weekends, 3 day, not 4 day like I hoped. I have to go clothes shopping as I only have 2 pairs of pants and my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/15/a-nothing-post-georgie
