Assignments
1. Psychology. The assignment was a 2000 word lab report about how individuals reach moral judgements and whether individual differences can manifest themselves to vary moral judgements across society. Would Person A reach the same moral conclusions as Person B, where A experiences more disgust and B prefers more cognitive activities than A? The lecturer arranged […] -
Last semester I wrote between ten and eleven thousands words of assessment in one week.
I am such a horrible last minute worker and almost all of my assessments were due in the first two days of the exam period. Yet, I plan on all assessments bar exams (which I can’t help) being done and dusted by October 31st. I’m not off to a good start: Instead of preparing for […] -
On money, on studying part-time/working part-time.
Studying part-time this semester! I think! Maybe! I’ve been offered enough shifts at work (yessss I found work just before the start of this semester – go figure that it took me that long and I didn’t even have time to earn lots of money from it 🙁 but hey!) that I could work part-time […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/08/08/on-money-on-studying-part-timeworking-part-time

Better and better (Silvia)
It’s been, what, two or three weeks since exams have finished and I finally had the courage to peek at my results. By peek, I mean squinting at the monitor as the results page loaded so everything appeared fuzzy just in case I got a very terrible score. It took about fifteen seconds for me […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/07/15/better-and-better-silvia

Update… a bit Late [Daniel]
Well it’s strange – it’s been 3 months since I’ve last talked to you and I’ve already got half a thesis (well technically a quarter of a thesis for Creative Writing). Weird and quick is what I’d call it weird and quick. I mean they say time passes quickly when you’re having fun – but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/05/27/update-a-bit-late-daniel

Ups and downs (Silvia)
I didn’t realise it but I’ve been on an up-and-down cycle all semester. It’s all the assignments– I indiscriminately leave them till the last minute whether they are worth 5%, 15% or 40%, or whether they are GREAT, BIG, IMPORTANT projects or itty bitty readings for the next tutorial. And by ‘last minute’ I mean […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/05/11/ups-and-downs-silvia

Dolebludging Interlude
Ahoy and greetings! I’m taking a semester/probably the whole year off so I can find a job. For one thing, because I have no previous employment which is just sort of sad at age 22 (well I think so anyway – maybe this is just me?), for another, because I have absolutely no money. And […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/05/08/dolebludging-interlude

Chapter 3: Actually… really stressed.
It’s Friday but it feels like Monday because yesterday was the Anzac day break. I’m feeling a little frazzled as I head to uni on the train. I can’t really think clearly and I know that I should be looking after myself better. I decided that I need to make some decisions and cut back […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/04/27/chapter-3-actually-really-stressed

Chapter 2: Stressed But Content
I remember that back when I was 14 (or something like it) I had a bit of a grudge against the phrase “How are you?”. I disliked how casually such a supposedly caring question was generally asked. I dislikes how hard it was to answer such a simple question. I dislikes the speed at which […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/04/21/chapter-2-stressed-but-content

Chapter 1: On Books, Love and Self
Note from the Author: Probably a strange blog to be “chapter 1” but that’s what I get for only starting to blog in April I guess. Sometime, probably not coincidentally around the time I ran out of time for blogging last year, I became the Melbourne University Book Club treasurer. Don’t get me wrong, I’m […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2013/04/13/chapter-1-on-books-love-and-self
