I can prove anything by statistics except the truth
Second year in medicine and in my main course, we’re delving deeper and deeper into the human body with focuses on the respiratory, cardiovascular and locomotor systems. On my other course, I’m loaded down with statistics. The lecturer is throwing everything at us – anything from person-years to variance to 95% confidence intervals (which, no […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/04/13/i-can-prove-anything-by-statistics-except-the-truth

5 weeks and counting… (Gianina)
Week 5 – I am still alive; a bit deprived of sleep, but hey, that’s part and parcel of being a Uni student, especially one who’s taking architecture subjects. Anyways, I have just found out that I’ve been accepted for SALP! For a while there, I thought they weren’t able to receive my application or that […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/04/02/5-weeks-and-counting

Decision time (Gianina)
To SALP or not to SALP, that is the question… I have about 2 days to really decide whether I want to do SALP or not, as the applications are due this Sunday. I originally aimed to get my application submitted by today, as we were advised during the information session to get it done […] -
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

Last time I checked, I wasn’t an Arts student (Gianina)
… so how come my readings consist of German dialectology, The Republic by Plato and some stuff by Aristotle? Not that I’m complaining. The particular part of The Republic that I have to read was surprisingly easy to understand, unlike, say, 90% of my past readings. That aside, I just discovered yesterday how I hate going […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/03/10/last-time-i-checked-i-wasnt-an-arts-student

Anxious rants version2.0 (Gianina)
Originally I wanted to wait until the first day of semester to have my first post as a second-year blogger; however, fickle-minded person that I am, I obviously changed my mind. So here I am – fresh from the first year blog. For those who read only the second year blog and not the first year […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/03/01/anxious-rants-version20

Summer school! [nicola]
Back for Seconds!! Haha… you thought Melb Uni students couldn’t get any more nerdier. Well really, this is rather exciting. I’m currently up at the Dookie campus, an interesting experience, placed in somewhat a rather considerable driving distance from a decent chai with a view from my room looking out to rolling brown hills which […] -
Trip Subjects (Georgie)
At the risk of looking like a complete loser with nothing better to do than blog, I shall post for the third time in a row. Suzanne, I thought we were in this together?! So it is hot Hot HOT! And I am sick of it. But the up side of this is that my […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2009/01/31/trip-subjects-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

Getting that travel bug… (Suzanne)
So, I’m safely home in Hong Kong now. And every time I fly home I remember how much I love long-haul flights. This isn’t sarcasm, either. Where else do you get to watch movies for eight hours on end and get served wine, ice cream, and a selection of newspapers? I also love airports. It’s […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2008/12/04/getting-that-travel-bug-suzanne
