Caffeine addiction incoming?
A few Thursdays ago in my Korean class, I was very, very tired. My vision kept splitting and spinning, and most of the things my tutor was saying weren’t reaching my head, and my lungs had filled with heavy goop so that it was hard to breathe. I wanted to slump over and die. I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2025/04/13/caffeine-addiction-incoming

Made a new friend yippee
Some updates and random thoughts
(I know half the semester’s already gone by since my first blog 
. On the first day I wondered if I’d get slapped in the face again by uni. I definitely have been.) Right now I have three main commitments. There’s uni, my job (swim teaching!), and swimming. It’s […]

Switcheroo
Going into the second year is a significant step for any Uni student, with experiences varying for each of us. That being said, most probably won’t have as turbulent of a shift as mine. Switching courses proved to be a challenging ordeal, but I’m glad to say that I’ve actually transferred, as of the start of this semester, […] -
The End is Thy Near
No time, no see readers! I have been super duper busy lately. Mainly, the workload has been off the charts after the sixth week of semester two. It has been crazy. Today, all of my assessments are FINISHED. DONE! I’m really happy. Now, I just need to focus on my recital exam, which is coming up next week. […] -
Where Did All The Time Go?
Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 8, and it seems like time has gone fast like always every semester.

There are a few things that I […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/09/11/where-did-all-the-time-go

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes (Turn and Face the Strange)

New timetable, longer practise hours, new schedule, new work hours, new everything. The one thing I’m most happy, and are most super welcoming that doesn’t change is the people around […]blogs.unimelb.edu.au/seconds/2016/07/28/ch-ch-ch-ch-changes-turn-and-face-the-strange
