Practice, seedy back alleys, clarinet shopping, and a rather good week (Suzanne)
Hello all. I figured you all deserve an update on my oh-so-fascinating life, which I’m sure you all follow religiously and voyeuristically, so here we go: right now, I am supposed to be practicing (surprise, surprise?) because I decided to trial a new practice regime that involves doing four hours of practice every day – […] -
Show me the money Centrelink, for I am Australia’s preeminent future (David)
Apologies for another politically charged blog entry if it isn’t your thing but I feel this is relevant. Recently, the Age ran an article discussing the issue of student poverty with Glyn Davis saying that 440 Unimelb students are in effect homeless (the term used was ‘hot-bedding’, that is living with relatives or friends because […] -
Holy Schmitt, Batman!: essays, internships, and auditions (Suzanne)
Apparently, there is a Facebook group titled ‘What the Foucault’. As a student of legal theory, this greatly amuses me. It amuses me enough that I forget that I am supposed to be reading Foucault for my essay due on Friday, and not reading really bad Foucault-jokes on Facebook walls. I have decided that from […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/24/essays-internships-rehearsals-suzanne

Misery or Opportunity? what is in my head?
Misery or Opportunity? what is in my head? The story begins 2.5 yrs ago, where I first entered Uni with hope of being able to excel if I continue to work hard. First year ended, my belief has diminished a bit. Second yr ended, another portion of belief has diminished. No across the half way […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/17/misery-or-opportunity-what-is-in-my-head

Paperwork and Costs (Georgie)
I’m increasingly getting the feeling that my major should be in form filling out rather than history and politics – at least this is a more practical qualification. At the moment everything in my life requires a form! Youth allowance, passport, irish citizenship, exchange applications for melbourne uni, exchange applications for dublin uni, application for […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/07/paperwork-and-costs-georgie

A Rant and a Half (Georgie)
At the moment I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of essays and the lack of sleep means I can’t get to the surface – arghh! I’m just looking at the categories that you pick to put your blog in and one of them is: ‘balancing uni and life’ and it feels like that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/09/a-rant-and-a-half-georgie

Easter – What a Waste!!! (Georgie)
I think the title says it all. I have done about 2 pages of reading for uni in the past week AND I have essays due on the 14th which I have not started. Arghhhh!!!! I feel like I’m still in summer holiday mode. I went to a barbecue on Thursday, which was lovely, but […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/03/29/easter-what-a-waste-georgie

A Jumbled Post (Georgie)
Well hello again. It’s third week back, and I thought it about time to make post. Make a post? Perhaps write a post. Uni is, as alway, awesome. I was a little worried before I came back about the expectations of second year arts and the fact that we’re in tutes with 3rd 4th 5th […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/03/17/a-jumbled-post-georgie

Regeneration
I am alive; I have just been neglecting this blog terribly. The holidays seemed to last forever this time around – it was a rude shock when I realised I had to come back here in a week or so, and sort everything out. As a compromise between being here and not being here, I’ve […] -
Still Alive (Chris)
It’s true. Hard to believe, isn’t it? But I am still here, still hanging on. I did much, much better in my Law exams than I deserved to. I did less than 20minutes of study for both altogether, and got an H1 in my exam for LMR, which compensated for an incredibly shaky pass on […]
