Speaking to a Crowd (Sophie)
Well today was definitely a new experience for me. I THOUGHT I was comfortable speaking in front of people after years of debating ect ect ect….however the most people I’ve ever spoken in front of was about 50. Today I gave a speech on Transition to Uni to 400 prospective Melbourne Uni students and parents! […] -
Celebrations (Rick)
You know your in a share house when you step on a piece of pasta. And honestly, I think my house mate is trying to spite me. The gloves will often fall in the sink and he does absolutely nothing about it. He keeps washing as if they were never there and they get all […] -
Overdrive – Sophie
My mind is on overdrive – as usual! Mr HT likens it to his mind which he describes as being like a “V8 engine”! I wouldn’t use such grandiose terminology, but he does understand. Us, together, fired up on a topic is the most intellectually challenging experience…I shudder with fear and excitement to think how […] -
Prob
Probability went better than I thought it would. I think I’d have a mean of 72 and a standard deviation of 5 on a normal distribution, approximately that is. (Using the central limit theorem on a binomial distribution. Dammit, I didn’t know how to prove the central limit theorem!) Also couldn’t find my friend Y […] -
Life Is Just A Series Of Moments
Well…FINALLY, it is over! I have returned from the fire and brimstone of “Academic Hades” (quoting PXW!) Walking out of my final (3.25 hour) accounting exam on Wednesday, I was grinning like a Cheshire cat! I found myself reveling in the moment; after so long and so many complications over the past semester, to know […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/06/14/life-is-just-a-series-of-moments

Flying Spaghetti
I felt like doing a Google image search for Flying Spaghetti, looking for the Flying Spaghetti monster. I find this page: http://creationwiki.org/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster Before I continue, I will say I consider my self somewhere between Atheist and Agnostic. I found the table there rather amusing. I have absolutely no problems with the first column, for what […] -
Hmmm (Chris)
The only thing stopping me from dropping Law at this particular point in time is that it would negate everything that I wanted last year. Perhaps more painful, however, is the realisation that what I don’t really know why I wanted to do Law in the first place, and that I’ve been struggling to construct […] -
Just another post
Hey people. Right now I’m intending to do some vector analysis study and also get my Essay for History and Philosophy of Mathematics done by Friday, rather than when it is due the Tuesday after. Simply because it will be so much easier to hand in that way. Went to a bar on High Street […] -
Best of luck to everyone! [EXAMS] (Sophie)
Hi everyone, I know I have been rather quiet of late and it’s mainly because I have just been so overwhelmingly busy. I am exhausted…and exams are just around the corner but have been keeping fit and healthy so should manage to get through that with no dramas! I just wanted to take the time […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/05/22/best-of-luck-to-everyone-exams-sophie

Mushroom
I have become so distracted lately. So much World of Warcraft, so much less study – and it shows! Seen a few movies since as well. The crazyness of Spiderman 3, which is great if you love really rediculous films. Also 300, if you like films with story lines with as much depth as Super […]
