Chapter Nine: When emotion’s dry up… (~jinghan)
A 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 […] -
Chapter Eight: On Bad Interviews, Homesickness and What’s the Point of Life?
It’s Tuesday evening, I have a phone interview with Teach for Australia in two hours. I had set aside the time tonight to prepare for the interview, to look over the Teach for Australia mission and collect my thoughts on education. But as I read I become more and more distressed. The questions feel impossible […] -
Celebratory Hot Cross Buns (Candy)
Okay, so. I just finished reading a personal blog of a fellow uni student and I am now left with this urge to really make each and every day of my life as enlightening and fulfilling as one human being can possibly handle. See this blog entry here? I have been scribbling in my diary […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/04/07/celebratory-hot-cross-buns-candy

Mid break [Daniel]
I had a strong intention to write, That would make things ever so right, But before I could breeze, through what was an ease It was only ever a might So that sums up an apology or two for not writing everywhere, and instead choosing (very conscientiously) to work and study first, movies and […] -
Day in the life of.
Friday. 6am. Slam my palm in the general direction of my beeping phonebrick: miss, slam again. Clothes. Kettle. Lunch. Face. Breakfast. Milk out of date as of today. Seems alright. Remember I can’t drink caffeine. No chamomile tea left. Putting on the kettle was redundant. Blast. Keys. Wallet. Phone. Bag. Sprint from my front door […] -
Hello Again, Friend Of A Friend (William)
Salutations! Why hello there again…. you may or may not remember me from last year.. you know.. that guy that stopped writing after like two months. Yep so anyway that guy is dead. I killed him the other day and stole his body as like a human host. This new William is like William 2.0! […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/03/11/hello-again-friend-of-a-friend-william

A calling [Daniel]
There’s a certain period of time where things start to nip and jab at your subconscious, whether it be about the way a certain girl [or guy, I can be open minded…. not in that way though …..] looks at you, the words in a job advertisement coincide with the smile on your face, or […] -
Ruminating on Plans Gone Awry – Money, Moving, VTAC Offers
This is a post about being a good sister (*cough*martyr*cough) and not getting your own way. I’ve been living with my boyfriend for the past six months in a lovely mansion – a heritage listed one, no less – that he rents with 4 other friends. Rent has been very cheap for me and my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2012/01/16/ruminating-on-plans-gone-awry-money-moving-vtac-offers

Chapter Sixty-One: Math (not maths) (~jinghan)
Okay, so being on exchange, I actually have to study. (So unfair, right?) “So what’s your major?” is one of those typical questions people ask you when they first meet you. “Maths.” “Mass…?” “Ma-TH-s” “Oh! Math! Is it hard?” Yeah American’s call it “math”. — The thing about uni in America is that I have […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/10/23/chapter-sixty-one-work-is-a-synonym-of-study-jinghan
