Life is a Beautiful Disaster
The last few days have been a whirl of activities, too much healthy food, assignments, networking, tests, not sleeping and negotiating [arguing] with companies. Absolute fun! It is kind of difficult at times though…I can’t wait for the day I get a P.A. who can handle my schedule! Highlights of the week have been: *Credit […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/03/16/life-is-a-beautiful-disaster

Symbiosis
Ok, I just remembered about this today, a little later than planned. Keep it short so I can do my assignments. Also note I’m really lacking sleep at this moment. (Also why I want to keep this quick.) Next week is ‘Green Week’, I’m supposed to be helping out next Thursday as now I’m part […] -
She’s Purposely Trying To Ruin My Life!
Ah!!!!!! I am actually not going to elaborate on the effusive title of this post, as she may be reading this as she goes to this uni. She is always one step ahead and totally undeserving.. gah!

Clean Slate
Or not. My academic year has heralded by a few false starts – during first week, I got the idea that I wanted to take leave for a semester to get my head straight. No such luck. I’m not exactly sure what the technicality was, but I wasn’t allowed. Then I had to change my […] -
Dear Mr Bracks;
Dear Mr Bracks (or Steve, if we’re feeling informal); How’s the state going? Still looking into things? Good to hear. I’m looking into things too right now, more specifically the armpit of the person standing next to me on the train. Look, I know you’re a busy man. We all are (except, naturally, the women). […] -
Attempt Number Two.
Aloha,Pretty cool that we still get to share our experiences of second year!!!O week was fun; I strongly recommend being a host to everyone. It was also extra good for me because I now know my “new peers” seeing as I am only doing my first semester of first year now. Also, there’s another person […] -
When things change, yet stay the same (Sophie)
Well…I am back to my second week of classes. I am finally starting to slowly settle back in. It has been difficult and the whole routine has been something of a shock to the system. Despite the fact my vacation was anything but quiet, the atmosphere of University is so intense and the time I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2007/03/05/when-things-change-yet-stay-the-same

Blargraghgh (Chris)
The title is meant to be pronounced as “blaah-graah-gugh”. I think it about sums up my last couple of weeks. Other words that may be used could include “challenging”, “stressful”, “stimulating” and “tear-inducing”. The last one might be untrue; I can’t remember if I cried (when I heard about his widowed bride, but something touched […]
