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

A fresh start
I’m fairly certain I have ADD…. I can’t seem to choose one degree and stick to it…. I think it’s mainly because post-grad law is where my passion truly lies. I guess I should explain! I’ve now transferred to Commerce (still at Melbourne Uni), so Im starting over as a first-year…. again! I’ve always known I […] -
Take 2
Have any of you ever tried a melted chocolate muffin from Romano’s? (Just outside the ERC). They…. are…. AMAZING! They make studying for 8 plus hours in the same EXACT place slightly more tolerable. I’m referring, of course, to the French film I had to edit yesterday. Myself and my group filmed it on Monday […] -
They serve chocolate in hell
I’m feeling mildly nostalgic and I have no idea what over? I’m sitting in a bar after having just finished my last essay for this semester and I’m feeling a little underwhelmed. Probably because I know come tomorrow, it’ll start all over again (studying, French orals, blah!!). The last time I blogged I had a […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/05/13/they-serve-chocolates-in-hell

I’ve been having a pretty dodgy semester.
I'm very happy at the moment. I'm not doing well at Uni, I am aware of it. I'm not sure where I'm headed. I feel conflicted about the people around me. But I'm embracing the moments that are precious to me, and I'm making use of what time I have. Even if it isn't by studying...blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/05/08/ive-been-having-a-pretty-dodgy-semester

Reality check
First of all, my apologies for disappearing for the past few weeks. 4 mid-semester exams + a job that is ending (closing down) in a few weeks + attempting to have a life (and failing miserably) = a very cranky Luke. Houdini could learn something from my vanishing act. As the Easter break ends tonight, I […] -
I have two essays due on Friday
I’d like to say that the reason for my lack of posting in the past few weeks is due to researching in regards to the above fact, but that would be a blatant lie. I simply suck. Just like this blog post. I’M SORRY!blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/05/i-have-two-essays-due-on-friday

Chapter Eleven: Toning It Down (~jinghan)
My phone buzzes. It’s a text. “Oh god jing, can I just quit uni? It’s so overwhelming and I don’t know how to deal.” I calmly punch back consoling words, but what I’m really thinking is how much those words summarise how I’m feeling as well. You think first year is going to the toughest […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/04/03/chapter-eleven-toning-it-down-jinghan

Just another manic Friday
Is anybody else loving this cold weather? It’s bringing back memories of big coats, gloves, scarves…. basically the best parts of winter. I’ve also really enjoyed sitting at cafes on campus and watching people trip and slip and step in puddles while wearing thongs. Silly people! My least favourite parts would have to be the […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/25/just-another-manic-friday

Secret diary of a uni student
That’s what it feels like these days; it’s mountains and mountains of homework and obligations. It feels like no-one understands; like you’re drowning in an empty ocean……until you realise you’re surrounded by people in the exact same ‘boat’ (if I can continue with this metaphor). It’s confusing and altogether unpleasant. But it’s life and nothing […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2011/03/18/secret-diary-of-a-uni-student
