New Conservatorium Is CONFIRMED! AHHH!!!!
Since the MCM community is a small, close community, rumours and gossip goes around the con like hotcakes. It keeps us in the loop of everything, since it is important to know what goes on at the con. You hear that a new Conservatorium is going to be built at VCA, but would have no idea […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/12/new-conservatorium-is-confirmed-ahhh

Chapter Five: Dear Jinghan, Don’t Be Brainwashed By Religion (~jinghan)
I’m hanging out with my friend who is also on exchange. She came to visit me in Davis and since I had a long weekend we’re heading down to LA to play tourist, before she heads back to Melbourne from LA airport. We each have our head in a book as we wait for our […] -
Second week withdrawals
As the second week of university comes to a close, the work is speeding up and time seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Or I’m just losing motivation…..already. What I used to get done in about an hour now seems to take me a week. Even this how-ever-many words blog has taken me an […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/11/second-week-withdrawals

A Quick Update (Georgie)
Well, Easter holidays already and this is only my second post. A bit slack really. In my defence though I have been a little busy. I think I shall break down my life into sub-headings, beacuase hey – who doesn’t like sub-headings? Moving House I wish this were the exciting news that I had finally […] -
Back from Ireland (Georgie)
I am finally home! I got home two days ago after a very long flight from London. Though I probably shouldn’t complain as I got an aisle seat the whole way and was lucky enough to have a spare seat next to me on the way to Bangkok. So I spent christmas in Ireland with […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/01/15/back-from-ireland-georgie

So many places, too little time (Georgie)
Right now I am sitting in the loungeroom, in my newly bought, enormous, white dressing gown with a bunch of international students. 1st of all, I’m feeling very stupid (yet again) that I only speak english, further entrenching the idea in my head that I want to learn Spanish in the near future. I’m sitting […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/18/so-many-places-too-little-time-georgie

Procrastination: (Suzanne)
Involves 5 hours of reading newspapers (of another country) on the net even if after the first 30 minutes you get the point already. Involves listening to a back-to-back marathon of Prokofiev piano concertos instead of practicing. Involves waiting for an hour for a Saturday Night Live sketch of a Palin vs Clinton debate to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/09/14/procrastination-suzanne

Ugh… (Suzanne)
I’m currently feeling really really sick because I just ate an entire block of dark chocolate for no reason other than that it was free. I have nothing else to report, other than the fact that just because it’s available and your mother isn’t around to stop you doesn’t mean you should do it. And […] -
40 Hour Famine, Open Day must-sees (Suzanne)
I am so, so, hungry right now, because I’m about 29 hours into the World Vision 40 Hour Famine, and I forgot to stuff myself during the meal immediately before my fast. Oh well. So far I’ve raised $62.60, and I’m aiming for about $120, which will feed eight kids in India and keep them […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/08/17/40-hour-famine-open-day-must-sees-suzanne
