Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its back to uni we go...

I wish to apologise that I cannot continue "Around the campus in eight blogs" due to the fact that I have no reason to procrastinate and write blogs. Until next week...

On the 4th of August, the dreaded day has come where we students rush to the bookshop to fight over the last copies of books "Required" (Opened once or twice in class and glanced at during revision for exams at least 3 times.) and occasionally spashing out on the "Recomended" (Found on eBay, and listed as "New and unread" in 17 weeks time.) Our sleep patterns return from the 1am to 11am sleep, to the 1am to 10.50am sleep. In diaries "Parties" and "Nightclubs" get replaced with "Lectures" and "Tutorials" and finally bags are packed with notepaper.

It is at this time that we realise for the next 17 weeks, comes that inconvenient part of student life, known as "being a student." As the completion of first semester joys end like the setting sun, we first yearers know, it only gets harder from here. Second semester means no Foundation Unit, this is all contributing towards your degree now, and you have to understand and pass all of it or otherwise this whole place seems like a waste of time and, well, it all seems very serious. BUT FEAR NOT! People you know are still there, that creepy tutor with the lazy eye is still there and, most importantly, the refectory is still there.


So to all the students, good luck this semester

To all those wanting a longer blog, wait till I have an excuse to write blogs (Last minute assesments.)

And to all those expecting a graffeti of the week, it's right here

Join us, we are the group who will show you the truth, we will show you the world for what it is, and most importantly, what it will become. <-- Bloody MITS.

Another inexcusably late Round the campus in eight blogs

So yeah, here we are, 17 days away from the start of semester and you want another 6 blogs about campus amenities? Well, before you get too acquainted with Murdoch has on offer, you should know that Mid year entry is open, There's this handy link http://www.murdoch.edu.au/Future-students/School-students/Figure-out-your-life/ if you don't know how you're going to waste post-uni life and the Murdoch Open day is coming up (31st August. Please Go. Then I won't have to write any more of this, unless of course you can't get there, or is doing external studyings, Then this blog is for you.)


The "MURDOCH OPEN DAY EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T GET THERE" blog.

Okay, so there's a whole lot of things in bush court, like caravans, and music, and illegally parked cars... and second/third/four year students who wanted a legit reason to get out of studies. There are signs up to various places and timetables for various speeches and things to look at and experience. In each relevant subject and then in the library there's tours and a few help sessions for what uni is going to be like and activities to win stuff , and a whole lot of first year students who want to intimidate the newbies by looking important by studying.

So, you'll may meet some students who are working too hard to be classified as "Students", teachers who do research when there not in lectures, teachers AND students who are in the ref when they should be in lectures.

But no one can tell you what uni is going to be like for you. Only you can decide that. Will you become studious and get to sit/walk across a stage in three/four/five years? I hope so. The uni open day will only show you where this experience will be taking place (and other places besides Sir Walter's Cafe.)

AND REALLY: all the parents are lost, and the whole thing is one big ad, and by the end of it, some smart Alec (not necessarily named "Alec") has scrolled on some toilet door "Geez this sucks compared to Curtin."

(And I wonder why she came all the way from Melbourne to write that.)
