Had a lab-content-based mid-sem today for Molecular Biology, then a theory-based one for the same next week and assignment 2 for MTH1020.

Not too bad going forwards, but the past week kinda sucked: two essays, two lab reports, a group presentation for epidemiology  and an online test. Somehow still alive

Holy crap, that's exciting! Good luck TT

My post was ambiguous before...here I go..I have a test for mth2010 tomorrow, a test for phs1022 on wed, mth2010 assignment due next Tuesday, and a test for asp2062 on wed. I can't imagine what's it like being a 2nd or 3rd or 4th year student...I will be taking more eng units and workload is increasing. Crap.

An interesting volunteering opportunity:

Access Monash Ambassador

We are seeking enthusiastic Monash University students to join our team and help secondary school students progress to university. The AMA role is a volunteer one, however all AMAs will be considered for the Monash Community Leaders Scholarship. This scholarship is available for one year and is valued at $4000 - up to 220 scholarships will be awarded in 2014!

As an Access Monash Ambassador you will work with us to assist students from diverse backgrounds to participate and succeed in higher education. AMAs will take part in activities including Access Monash Mentoring, assisting with the Schools Access Monash outreach program, and participating as a leader in the Access Monash School Champions program.

Benefits of becoming an Access Monash Ambassador may include:

• Consideration for the Monash Community Leaders Scholarship
• The chance to develop skills in leadership, teamwork, public speaking and group facilitation
• A statement of participation on your Australian Higher Education Graduate Statement
• An opportunity to complete a Certificate III in Active Volunteering.

Just to add to what DisaFear said, another program for Commerce and Business students (doesn't really matter what year you're in): http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/student/pal/ambassadors/index.html.

The ambassador program is about developing valuable team and leadership skills. We will provide the skills and experiences allowing you to develop your confidence in leading groups. You will represent your faculty at public events such as orientation, open day and school presentations, gaining experience and attributes desirable in a leader.

You will be encouraged to become (or continue being) involved with the university, other students, and the wider community. The skills and experience gained will be invaluable in your future, both personal and career. Your leadership, team work skills, and engagement with the university will be acknowledged with a certificate presented at a farewell function.

Ambassador program activities

- welcome event in November, after exams
- two day residential camp at Portsea on 14th - 16th February 2014 (compulsory)
- participation in orientation semester one (compulsory)
- be a peer mentor in semester one (compulsory)
- four self-select activities (minimum)
- skills workshops
- end-of-program celebration event

It's a great year-long program and so if this applies to you, put in an application because you have nothing to lose.

Was stalking my Neuro lecturer and came across this:

Monash proxy redirecter

In Google Chrome, you can create a bookmarklet to automatically redirect through the Monash proxy:
Make a bookmark with the following URL:
javascript:(function(){location.href = 'https://login.ezproxy.lib.monash.edu.au/login?qurl='+escape(location.href)})();
I combine this with the Shortcut Manager extension, which lets you map a key combination like CTRL-M to the shortcut. So if there's a site that needs to be redirected, I just hit CTRL-M, enter my login details and I'm through.

Source.

I tried it and it works great

So my brother who goes to Nossal, was in Matho for about half an hour during the school holidays waiting for my dad to pick him up to go to an appointment. He had his Nossal laptop on him, which has their logo on the cover and some guy came up to him and asked if he went to Nossal to which my brother said yes. He said he was a Chem lecturer at Clayton and asked if he needed any help with anything. Full got out Monash notepads and showed my brother how to do stuff. Whatta nice guy.

[ShortBlackChick]
