On The Bright Side Of Life (Sophie)
Well…life is really good right now. Of course; I am stressed with the fact exams are just weeks away and my exam timetable only gives me 2 days between each exam…but apart from that, I have met some really cool people lately and I am salivating at the thought of Europe! Today I somehow managed […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/07/on-the-bright-side-of-life-sophie

Paperwork and Costs (Georgie)
I’m increasingly getting the feeling that my major should be in form filling out rather than history and politics – at least this is a more practical qualification. At the moment everything in my life requires a form! Youth allowance, passport, irish citizenship, exchange applications for melbourne uni, exchange applications for dublin uni, application for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/07/paperwork-and-costs-georgie

As for the exam timetable… (Kripa)
They are well spaced out, which is great = more time to revise. But my first exam is on the second day of the examination period and the last exam on the second last day of the examination period. Again, jealous of my other friends who finish early and get to go overseas. Let’s begin […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/05/as-for-the-exam-timetable-kripa

SALP, free tickets (Suzanne)
By popular request, an FAQ about SALP! Here goes: What the heck is SALP? SALP stands for the Student Ambassador Leadership Program. It’s basically a program where the university takes students, gives them training, gets them to do community service, and declares them leaders afterwards. Who’s it for? Second year students and above. So, um, […] -
UCD Exchange (Georgie)
I booked my flights today for my exchange. I’m leaving on the 25th of June which feels very very soon! I get back on the 25th of Feb, so I’ll be away 8 months! It’s all getting a bit real and scary now.blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/30/ucd-exchange-georgie

How lucky! (Georgie)
Today was one of the days that I felt so lucky to come to Melbourne Uni. It started off with me spending 3 hours trying to work out how to get any funding to go towards my exchange, how to navigate Centerlink and then ringing up employers to help me work out how much money […] -

All those random stuff (Kripa)
Please don’t read this unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. I have simply typed out some random happenings in my life which are not worth much but I did it anyway: 1. It’s sad to see the Biochemistry building being demolished. On the other hand, it is quite a good sight! I usually take the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/26/all-those-random-stuff-kripa

Teensy life update (Suzanne)
So, I had a bit of a stress-and-bad-practice-related mental breakdown in the middle of the corridor yesterday, and I really, really appreciate my lovely and wonderful college friends for providing hugs and support, as well as for knocking some common sense into me. See, freshers, you do end up making friends who care. 🙂 Anyway. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/23/teensy-life-update-suzanne
