Study de-stress (Georgie)
Phew! I have decided to take 15minutes from stressing to write this post and perhaps it will give me a bit of perspective. I have just realised there is a live time word count that shows at the bottom of this post while I am writing – very cool, and distracting. 49 words so far. […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/05/30/study-de-stress-georgie

Bits and pieces, with a clip of inspiration (David)
I have the option of typing up a blog or working on my assignment. Yeah, whatever, this semester is impossible to salvage now. I remember years ago when I was having lunch with a female friend and she was complaining about the fatty food (like they do) and my response was to gloat about my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/05/20/bits-and-pieces-with-a-clip-of-inspiration-david

Negativity alert
I have just reached a point in my life where I feel I just can’t do anything right. Usually, studies would be my one saving grace, but even that’s not going too well. I feel like I can’t do anything right at home and even at work. And it really sucks. Worst thing is, it […] -
The Philippines (Georgie)
Wow, so I keep meaning to type but I never get around to it. I shall have to be quick actually as I’m in an internet cafe in Baguio in the Philippines and a friend is waiting for me to jump off the comp. I arrived in the Philippines about a week ago and it […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/05/12/the-philippines-georgie

Searching for the American Dream
Well hello again, how kind of you to join us. So, Gianina, my miraculous timetable is due to a couple of difference things. I’m doing an internet subject for the Global Issues Program I am completing concurrently with my degree, which means I have no hours for that subject. And I also did a summer […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/04/20/searching-for-the-american-dream

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 […] -
Worry-freak still worrying over supposedly worry-free break
It’s quite annoying how, when I try to be responsible during the Easter break, something gets in the way of my getting any work done. Procrastination aside, in this case, that ‘something’ would be common cold. I don’t know how I could have possibly gotten it; all I know is that after coming home yesterday […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/04/15/worry-freak-still-worrying-over-supposedly-worry-free-break

Two weeks in, ten weeks out (Suzanne)
You know, I am really going to have to work on making more concise posts. I did a word count on several recent ones. 1500 words. That’s more than many of our new first years are writing for their essays. But I am the kind of person who likes gory details. And there must be […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/03/12/two-weeks-in-ten-weeks-out-suzanne

My Summer of Freedom (Georgie)
So I still haven’t gotten a job, perhaps this is because I am not actually looking for one. As it is uncertain as where I will be living this year I’ve decided to wait it out for the next month and a half or however long it takes to find out. The thing is because […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/01/24/my-summer-of-freedom-georgie

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
