Failte (Georgie)
And that is the only word I know in Irish – not Gaelic – and it means ‘welcome’. It’s pronounced ‘fault-ye’ and is plastered over signs and leaflets everywhere. Am still in Ireland having a bit of a wander before uni, which starts in 8 days. To keep things short I think I might make […] -
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

Ireland (Georgie)
So I’ve finally made it to Ireland, where all the rain is hiding. I’ve been here about a week now. It has been really great so far. I’m staying with family in Galway which is on the west coast. It is a nice change from hostels, and they have been great taking me around to meet […] -
Berlin (Georgie)
Hi all, So I’ve left England. I did like england, especially the fact that everyone spoke english, but I found London very hectic and fast paced so it was nice to get out to Cambridge and Oxford. Where I have decided, by the way, that I am definitely going to study once my brain grows […] -
The Mighty Boosh
So I went to the Mighty Boosh Festival in Kent with my uni friend Bronwyn who is also in London. Quite obviously, I didn’t actually have to tell you that. She’s going on exchange to Birmingham this semester. It was quite awesome actually, a really nice sunny day and good music and good comedy. But […] -
Officially in London (Georgie)
Am officially in London! Woot! Not much to report. The flight was long and my knees kept hitting the seat in front of me, am now hoping for an aisle seat on any future flights. Will never wear jeans on a flight again, no matter how bogan I will look. It’s 5:30pm and am very […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/27/officially-in-london-georgie

Time just drifts by (Georgie)
I always feel a bit guilty if I happen to make 2 posts in a row on this blog, but hey, what can you do? I leave in 2 days for my 8 month European trip – arghh! This will be my first time overseas, so I am a little worried, but hopefully it will […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/23/time-just-drifts-by-georgie

Less alone (Georgie)
So what’s to say? I’m shockingly behind on all my essays and study. Every time I get near a computer I end up looking up stuff for my trip to Europe. Travel insurance (which I still haven’t got), luggage, hostels, tips for backpackers, couchsurfing, ways of getting from london to prague, what to pack etc. […] -
My exams are over, yay! (Suzanne)
… and hopefully, they didn’t go too badly. Thus the most stressful semester ever comes to an end, and I am completely free! My god, I don’t even remember what people do in their free time anymore. I think I’ll clean my room, then go out to Safeway and buy some coffee so I can […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/06/12/my-exams-are-over-yay-suzanne
