Show me the money Centrelink, for I am Australia’s preeminent future (David)
Apologies for another politically charged blog entry if it isn’t your thing but I feel this is relevant. Recently, the Age ran an article discussing the issue of student poverty with Glyn Davis saying that 440 Unimelb students are in effect homeless (the term used was ‘hot-bedding’, that is living with relatives or friends because […] -
I’m in London Still… (Georgie)
Well I’m still here, but not for long! Tomorrow I am going to a Mighty Boosh comedy Festival for the day in Kent and then Sunday I am doing a day tour of Stonehenge, Windsor and Bath. Then next week I am off to Nottingham, Cambridge and Oxford then back to London for a night […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/07/05/im-in-london-still-georgie

Funny how things turn out… (Suzanne)
So I’ve been reading the really old diaries I kept when I was still in high school, and I came across this comment: “I found out at the college fair today that one Australian university offers music and law double degrees. I don’t think I’ll apply for it – too stressful. Why would anyone want […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/07/02/funny-how-things-turn-out-suzanne

Back home… (Suzanne)
Sometimes I’m a little bit sad that I can’t stay home for longer. I picked up the Hong Kong Philharmonic’s concert programme for the next season, and, while I’m in Melbourne, they’re putting on concerts from Yundi Li, Yo-yo Ma, Sumi Jo, Viktoria Mullova, and Stephen Hough, among many, many other rather famous and distinguished […] -
Officially in London (Georgie)
Am officially in London! Woot! Not much to report. The flight was long and my knees kept hitting the seat in front of me, am now hoping for an aisle seat on any future flights. Will never wear jeans on a flight again, no matter how bogan I will look. It’s 5:30pm and am very […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/27/officially-in-london-georgie

Work/Life/Balance
Things are crazy right now; I am just so busy before I leave for Europe in a few days. I finished exams just last Thursday and every day since, I’ve been out catching up with friends, doing last minute trip organisation, seeing family….and being headhunted! I have to say….the powers of networking are incredible. Sometimes […] -
Time just drifts by (Georgie)
I always feel a bit guilty if I happen to make 2 posts in a row on this blog, but hey, what can you do? I leave in 2 days for my 8 month European trip – arghh! This will be my first time overseas, so I am a little worried, but hopefully it will […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/23/time-just-drifts-by-georgie

Less alone (Georgie)
So what’s to say? I’m shockingly behind on all my essays and study. Every time I get near a computer I end up looking up stuff for my trip to Europe. Travel insurance (which I still haven’t got), luggage, hostels, tips for backpackers, couchsurfing, ways of getting from london to prague, what to pack etc. […] -
My exams are over, yay! (Suzanne)
… and hopefully, they didn’t go too badly. Thus the most stressful semester ever comes to an end, and I am completely free! My god, I don’t even remember what people do in their free time anymore. I think I’ll clean my room, then go out to Safeway and buy some coffee so I can […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/12/my-exams-are-over-yay-suzanne

And it begins! (Suzanne)
In three days, I’ll be totally done. Two exams today, two more tomorrow, my last the day after. I hope I’ll survive. I’ve never been so badly prepared for exams ever; every other semester I’ve had fantastic spacing, with a nice two week break between music exams, which are always in the first week, and […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/10/and-it-begins-suzanne
