Surviving Law @ QUT

The first year experience of QUT law students

No brainwashing necessary

Hey everyone!

Tried the middle-rows this week. Was still blasted with cold. So I give up. Jackets are currently being ordered in bulk. Plus jackets hide that hideous bruise on my arm from my ‘needle day’. So annoying that it still hasn’t gone away.

One thing that’s going to take some getting used to: calling lecturers and tutors by their given names. Half the time I’m worried about coming across as too disrespectful; other times I feel like I’m turning into a pompous prude. Must get a grip here, and fast.

This week has focussed a lot on legal history. It’s excellent fun; the content is nice. I enjoy the fact that 141 and 142 complement (and parallel) each other. It makes the content just that much easier to understand. Can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I quite enjoy searching for and reading legislation. Maybe the novelty will wear off, though I hope it doesn’t.

Before I go, can I just say that everyone should read Beowulf. It’s too good not to read. Seriously, read it! No, this uni student is not trying to coerce anyone…

Laters,

Sherry

  2. Given names never worried me. I used to call most of my teachers by their given names at high school, because they wanted us too. It was awesome :P

  3. I completely agree with you. So far I haven’t called any of my teachers by their first names..It’s just so different from school. If we called one of the teachers by their first name we would get into heaps of trouble. Not even the cool teachers liked being called by their first names. I have the book Beowulf but haven’t read it yet, might get around to because you recommend it so highly. For everyone else in need of a good book read The Time Traveller’s Wife. SO GOOD!
