My first official blog entry ... only took me 15 minutes to find out just how to actually do that!

Last Thursday and Friday I was a leader at Flying Start and it was so much fun! It was great to meet all these new people who will be studying at UWA; I now have more friends than I had before, which is quite cool. And not only that, I found that I really enjoy telling people about my first year at Uni, in the hope that their transition will be a bit easier than mine.

In 2007, we asked three fabulous then-first-year students - Dion, Anne and Elza - to blog for us on the node website. We've created a collection of the best posts on the first six weeks of life at uni for a 'fresher'. Here they are (click here for the full post ):

Orientation/pre-semester 

How often do you take time to reflect on what you are doing in your work?

Uni has finally arrived and to be honest i did not really know what to expect. Was it going to be huge and scary, different to school or just much of the same. I kept on hearing these words being thrown around like tut and labs and i had no idea what anyone was talking about. I rocked up to my first lecture raring to go but the whole time was spent just introing the topic and was not too interesting. It was like that for most of the first week as i slowly adjusted to the uni way of life.
