EVENSPEEDIERPOST
UGH one exam left and I’m horrified I’m going to fail the subject because it’s an extended response thingie wherein I have to pick 8 of 14 offered questions to answer, which means I have to be an expert in at the very least 8 lectures of a total of 24. I’m beginning to panic, […] -
Chapter Twenty-Five: My Favourite Study Spaces (~jinghan)
I came back from my exchange year in America to discover – to my horror- that the mathematics library had been converted into a construction sight. Despite what the academics of the Department had to say about the convenience of all the mathematics books being collated in one place in the ERC with the physics […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/09/14/chapter-twenty-five-my-favourite-study-spaces-jinghan

Chapter Twenty-One: Game On! Jinghan VS Maths Assignment (~jinghan)
Usually on a Friday evening I give myself a break from studying and make giant platonic solids with my boyfriend or bake cookies something that doesn’t involve real brain work like that… (What? Did you think I’d take a break from being nerdy on weekends? Pft!) But this week considering that my Saturday was going […] -
Chapter Fifteen: Bring a camera… or a phone (~jinghan)
What do Jinghan’s dread? Jinghan’s dread 3:15-5:15 statistics tutorials with a computer lab component. Uh huh. Brings back bad memories of probability tutorials where I would franticly try and keep up with what other people were doing, by which I mean I would spend the whole class going “huh? What does that mean? What’s this […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/08/09/chapter-fifteen-bring-a-camera-or-a-phone-jinghan

*Flashy music for a flashy entrance* (Silvia)
After the tragedy of last semester’s results, I vowed to devote my mind, body and soul to my studies. I saw myself butt-superglued-to-chair with a pile of textbooks and notes in front of me. I saw myself scribbling away into the wee hours of the night and waking up at the crack of dawn to […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/08/03/flashy-music-for-a-flashy-entrance-silvia

Part 2: The Learning (William)
Second year, 4 subjects, all science WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! Okay so here is what I thought of each subject, note others do not agree, its all about a matter of taste really 😀 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology – So with my rather rubbish marks in chemistry 1 & 2 from last year I thought […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/06/26/part-2-the-learning-william

I really should be ________ (fill in with whatever you’re procrastinating from) (Silvia)
I really should be studying for my VERY BIG AND IMPORTANT exams. I know students are given a week off university to prepare for their exams but who actually uses that scrap of time to cram in twelve weeks worth of lectures for four subjects? I’m betting most people use that time to catch up […] -
University of Melbourne Exam Advice (from an exhausted veteran).
I've had three hours sleep over the last two days, and my last exam for this semester ended officially 2 hours ago, so it seemed like the perfect time to write a post full of exam advice! -
Chapter Nine: When emotion’s dry up… (~jinghan)
AÂ story of religion and maths… If you don’t know (which you might not because I have not quite worked out how to express myself regarding this matter) I have been going to church for the past 6 months. I found myself doing so because of the oalpably positive vibe that seemed to eminate from the […] -
Home alone [Daniel]
It’s strange to think that you do do better by yourself, that other people, friends for instance, are actually just holding you back. It’s weird and strange, and echoes thoughts I had a long time ago, thoughts filled with trepidation over the idea of moving in with a friend. Maybe those thoughts were true. I’m […]
