Back On A Plane!
I’ve just found out tonight that I’m going back to Italy in September over the mid-semester break!!! I am so excited! I can’t believe this is really happening….I get to visit lots of little old towns, see the Bay of Naples, explore more of the Tuscany region, return to Florence, check out Milan….if I’m lucky […] -
Third Week Thoughts
1. Has the Baillieu Library always been this busy at the start of semester? I feel like I’m back in swot vac where every single desk and spare chair is taken…does anyone agree??! 2. For those of you who are serious about working in finance – whether it be M&A, funds management, equities research ect…let […] -
Ireland (Georgie)
So I’ve finally made it to Ireland, where all the rain is hiding. I’ve been here about a week now. It has been really great so far. I’m staying with family in Galway which is on the west coast. It is a nice change from hostels, and they have been great taking me around to meet […] -
Practice, seedy back alleys, clarinet shopping, and a rather good week (Suzanne)
Hello all. I figured you all deserve an update on my oh-so-fascinating life, which I’m sure you all follow religiously and voyeuristically, so here we go: right now, I am supposed to be practicing (surprise, surprise?) because I decided to trial a new practice regime that involves doing four hours of practice every day – […] -
Finding A Home Away From Home
I am so elated in this moment…despite recovering from a bad cold and blocked ears (almost burst an eardrum on descent to Hong Kong!!). Europe has been the experience of a lifetime for me. I cannot even begin to analyse or comprehend the effect this trip has had on me as a person. “Wow” is […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/08/03/finding-a-home-away-from-home

Anyone who doesn’t like group work? (Kripa)
If there’s atleast one yes, I would be quite reassured. I know that group work is supposed to improve your teamwork and organisational skills but I do NOT like it when: 1. Other members in your group have no idea what the topic is and how to go about researching it. Often, we get blank […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/08/02/anyone-who-doesnt-like-group-work-kripa

I’m back
It’s good to be back to uni. My sem 1 results were more or less OK. I got two subjects that were 90+. One of the other two wasn’t so great but I’ll live. LOL My sem 2 timetable is just… *spechless*. The forecast is that I’ll miss 1 out of 4 physics lessons per […] -
Can’t wait! (Kripa)
It’s weird; I have never felt this happy to get back to uni. I find that these holidays went quite slow, so yes, I’m looking forward to getting back to busy uni. And, by the way, did anyone watch ‘The Dark Knight’? I watched it yesterday at IMAX. It was brilliant, both the film as […] -
Berlin (Georgie)
Hi all, So I’ve left England. I did like england, especially the fact that everyone spoke english, but I found London very hectic and fast paced so it was nice to get out to Cambridge and Oxford. Where I have decided, by the way, that I am definitely going to study once my brain grows […] -
A slight disappointment (Kripa)
I had been wondering why I wasn’t feeling the usual nervousness when I wait for that one day of the results, approach the computer at home slowly and the page downloading before me. Was I over-confident? Well, sort of. The fact is I did very well in 3 of my subjects, which was reassuring because […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/07/13/a-slight-disappointment-kripa
