Reaching the 50% level (Kripa)
My friend recently said – Have you noticed that we are already halfway through our course? That’s when it hit me! Upon the passing of this semester exams (hopefully), I have done 50% of my Bachelor’s. How fast was that? I have been so caught with each semester and its hectic schedule that I failed […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/28/reaching-the-50-level-kripa

Holocaust and Genocide (Georgie)
Right now I can see when all of my essays are due, but it seems too far away to be worrying about them yet. So, for the moment, I am a lady of leisure. A few of my friends said this makes me sounds like a prostitute, but that’s not how I mean it! since […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/26/holocaust-and-genocide-georgie

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

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 […] -
Calling all studious people (Georgie)
I must say, I completely agree with Viv from the first year blog that arts students do leave things to the last minute, as this is what I have just done for my Public Policy paper and all of the other essays I have handed in so far this year. But this forces me to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/05/11/calling-all-studious-people-georgie

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 […] -
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

Chain of mid-semester tests (Kripa)
The problem with no pracs this semester is that then you have all your mid-semester tests coming up one after the other, week by week. I just had the first of 3, along with one assignment done. Still, 2 assignments left. Is it just the whole feel of the second year having more workload or […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/04/17/chain-of-mid-semester-tests-kripa

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

Well, that totally makes my day. (Suzanne)
Hi guys! I’ve been ridiculously busy this week, with a pretty big backlog of to-dos, so I really shouldn’t be blogging, but I’d just like to make an announcement: I got appointed as a general member to the editorial board of the Melbourne Journal of International Law yesterday (decided, on reflection, not to apply to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/03/19/well-that-totally-makes-my-day-suzanne
