Writing… more! (Silvia)
A few weeks ago, I came across an advertisement in Melbourne Uni’s careers website. I know I already have a job I love but sometimes there’s nothing to do at home so I start browsing random sites. The volunteering organisation which ran the ad is dedicated to planting indigenous plants and the job description was […] -
Who have I been? [Daniel]
There was a brief absence in my life where a semester seemed to take over everything. Not that it was bad mind you. It was just a collection of events that had me focused, busy and full of experiences. And so now I am deflated. No more Europe, no more five subjects, no more writing […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/12/10/who-have-i-been-daniel

Now freak out and panic

Eviction notice (landlord wants to move in) Housemate moves out, refuses to pay rent anymore even though she said she would until we find someone else to live with us We can’t afford to cover her rent Mum decides that she’s not going to be my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/12/04/i-am-stuck-also-stress

Done and dusted and shoved into the back of the cupboard (Silvia)
And thus, second year has come to an end with my last exam being today. I walked into the Royal Exhibition Building feeling like my jumper was too warm for the weather and yet not warm enough to make me feel comfortable and ready to tackle an exam. I was nauseated because I left this, […] -
Pre-exam thought, or two
Holy crap! An epiphany of sorts?! Life isn’t a one-shot end-game kinda dealio. Being successful is not the opposite of being a failure, if anything the two concepts tend to feed from each other. And it’s all relative, anyway. I’ve noticed a lot of students who get caught up in reaching one career that anything […] -

UGH one exam left and I’m horrified I’m going to fail the subject because it’s an extended response thingie wherein I have to pick 8 of 14 offered questions to answer, which means I have to be an expert in at the very least 8 lectures of a total of 24. I’m beginning to panic, […] -
Busy busy (Silvia)
There’s a week until my exams and I’ve finally started hardcore studying. By hardcore, I mean going to the library to borrow the textbooks and look through them for the first time. I know, textbooks are a resource I should have had the entire semester but they’re so expensive (and I only use them for […] -

Whoop-de-doo (Silvia)
I’m sorry, what did you say? It’s been two weeks of holidays already? And I have to go back to uni tomorrow? Oh fudge. Where did my sweet holiday time go? I had so many plans. I told myself I would revise the lectures I had trouble with, catch up on the lectures I’d missed […] -
Why so many choices? (Silvia)
It has been far too long since my last post and for that, I sincerely apologise. I would grovel at your feet and offer excuses about university and work but since we’re quite a distance apart, it wouldn’t work well. So please accept this virtual grovel and forgive my laziness while I tell you why […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/09/18/why-so-many-choices-silvia
