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 […] -
Keep Running
Analogy: Your muscles ache, each breath cuts like a razor, your legs shake like they are just going to fall out from under you. But you are so close to the finishing line – if you can just keep running, you’ll finish the race. You know you won’t win, but just to finish it would […] -
A dirty little town on the Thames is calling you away… (Sophie)
Nails bitten slowly down to shreds As hope flies its lonely white flag And my heart travels oceans Searching for a destination; an end For the emotions buried down deep In a box labeled “not for the faint-hearted” Too scared to leave the known comfort Of strong arms holding me tightly But he knew what […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/05/14/a-dirty-little-town-on-the-thames-is-calling-you-away
