Prague (Georgie)
Hi all! I have just been accepted to the International Youth Leadership Conference that is held in July in Prague! It’s a week of discussion and debate on international politics and I’m so excited about it! At the moment I’m trying to get a sponsor for it – ideas anyone? And seeing if I can […] -
From Optimism to Pessimism (Georgie)
Well, it’s taken me halfway into my Arts course to realise, but the world is screwed. This realisation came during my Holocuast and Genocide tutorial on the Sudan genocide, a day after we had a Sudanese refugee talk to us. There is no realistic solution and it’s not only Sudan, all of Africa can look […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/23/from-optimism-to-pessimism-georgie

Eugene rocks! (Kripa)
I don’t usually read comics but the ones that come in the last page of Farrago – love them! Everytime I read them, I simply smile to myself all alone. The character ‘Eugene’ is soo me! Well, obviously, it’s supposed to depict the average university student. But almost all of them have happened in my […] -
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

How lucky! (Georgie)
Today was one of the days that I felt so lucky to come to Melbourne Uni. It started off with me spending 3 hours trying to work out how to get any funding to go towards my exchange, how to navigate Centerlink and then ringing up employers to help me work out how much money […] -

All those random stuff (Kripa)
Please don’t read this unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. I have simply typed out some random happenings in my life which are not worth much but I did it anyway: 1. It’s sad to see the Biochemistry building being demolished. On the other hand, it is quite a good sight! I usually take the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/26/all-those-random-stuff-kripa

Teensy life update (Suzanne)
So, I had a bit of a stress-and-bad-practice-related mental breakdown in the middle of the corridor yesterday, and I really, really appreciate my lovely and wonderful college friends for providing hugs and support, as well as for knocking some common sense into me. See, freshers, you do end up making friends who care. 🙂 Anyway. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/23/teensy-life-update-suzanne

In the dark (Kripa)
‘200,000 houses had no electricity for a couple of hours yesterday’ (from ‘The Age’) And one of those houses were mine. Apparently, a tree fell over the electric lines due to the strong winds and a part of my suburb had to sit inside their houses with no electricity. Let me tell you, I really […]
