So yes, my plan to write several hundred thousand entries about my trip didn’t quite play out as I had wanted it to. All I can say is that now that the road trip is all said and done, I will be spending some time shuffling through notes and pictures and putting together entries on…

Having to play tour guide for the Crazy Canadian made me realise just how  much Melbourne has to offer. The first day/night was Brunswick Street, Johnston Street and Smith Street followed by the Royal Carlton Gardens and Victoria Street for some quiet drinks. Mind you, after leaving the airport to hear the words, “Wow. We’re already…

For the first time in a long time, I have absolutely nothing to worry about. I’m having difficulty putting into words what it feels like to have completed studies for the year coupled with knowing I don’t have work for the next four weeks. Overzealous glee, perhaps? Excessive ecstasy? Inordinate intoxication? What I also am…

After my apparent failure on the first exam, I was keen and full of beans to do well on my second one. Sure enough, I put a kibosh on that sucker. What was odd, though, is that what I had studied for could have basically been applied to any of the questions on the exam….

I learnt rather harshly yesterday that sometimes you can prepare your arse off for an exam, thinking that you’ve covered all essential bases and theories, only to arrive and sit down at the desk and find that virtually every topic that wasn’t emphasised so heavily (both in the revision notes supplied and the subsequent amount…

Sitting down to write this week’s entry, I can’t help but feel that I didn’t really do much this week. Burying my face into books for my first exam took up most of my spare time. However, by about Thursday my brain decided to call it a week. I’ve never experienced study fatigue before, but…

Earlier in the week I posted on my dear wall-o-FB that I was on a ‘Very Hot Dinner Date’. I apologise to all those housing secret crushes (male or female – because I don’t judge – that don’t exist) out there who took this seriously, as it was merely a play on words. My friend…

One thing I didn’t expect to happen last week was engaging in philosophical discourse in my sleep. The title of this post may have made you think that I left a ‘y’ off the end, and actually meant to write about the film ‘Free Willy’ in this post. Please understand that this recollection isn’t verbatim….

After writing no less than 4,000 words in the past week for closing out uni coursework for the year (and by extension – this graduate diploma – testify!) you would think that I have had just about enough of writing for the week. But no, here I am throwing more words at an unsuspecting audience….

I’m not really sure what compelled me to celebrate the 40th entry on Blogostino, but it just seemed right. Now that I’ve hit 50 entries (a lot faster than I’d expected to) I’m at a loss as to what I should write to commemorate this minor milestone. Here’s something I wrote during the week, though,…
