Surviving Law @ QUT

The first year experience of QUT law students

I Will Survive

“At first I was afraid, I was petrified” 

Quite well describes that first week….

“Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side”

Where the hell is my textbook?

“I spent so many nights..thinking how you did me wrong”

WHY! Why did I choose law? AM I CRAZY?

“But I grew strong, and learned how to get along”

That’s right.  I am strong.  I am strong..I am oh god…no more legislation 

“I will survive”

Guess that’s the crux of the argument isn’t it?  We will survive…No matter how hard things seem right now, it will settle down and we all will live.  For example, LWB141…No one told me (or indeed the rest of my class) that we had to quote the source…well…that was an interesting tute…

“Ok Mr X, what part of common law would you say did this?”

Followed by much of the class frantically flicking through study guides and guessing which random piece of whatnot actually related vaguely to the question that the tutor was talking about.  Oh by the way, I STILL have no idea who my tutor is.  I mean..I know WHO he is..he’s that guy who is my tutor..However I somehow managed to miss his name..and hence I’m kind of stuck going “hey you”..which I hate because it makes me feel rather like Jonah Takaluah…except it makes me want to go “PUCK YOU MISS”.  Oh damn..now I have the songs from MR G THE MUSICAL stuck in my head…

“Everything ends in sadness, fulfilling all your fears

What goes up, must come down

And it all ends in tears

But you don’t have to worry

Cuz your not here right now

And this world is a bad bad place

And we wonder why or how

Oh  Selene, Oh Jessica,

Those god damn drugs that bloody car

You look just like, you did in your bed

Except this time you’re dead”

Is it uber sad that I knew that by memory?  Lets just say in my house…we have a bit of an obsession for Summer Heights High.  Wow my spell-check hates uber..hahaha

Ok concentrate Keira.

Law.

Yes.

I am actually quite enjoying LWB142..especially my tutes..as I have a great group of girls in my group and in general, we have a really smart and enthusiastic class.  Some comments were priceless though.  Dear God, my media player has started playing the Beegees and I was unknowingly singing along…I have reached the epitome of sadness..

On bigger news.

KRISPEY KREME IS OPENING IN BRISBANE.

Now yes. These are the most horribly fattening donuts in existence..but seriously..have you tried one? Its like eating HEAVEN…except with a hole.  Try their Devils Food one…narghhh *drools*

Back to uni.

I am getting excited to start our group project for LWB 142, it looks great, found some great info and getting organised and into it etc.  Finally finished my Library Exercise after much rushing back and forth and confronting confused 3rd years to ask where something was.  But indeed.  It is complete.  I just have to hand it in and hope and pray that it is in fact, the right thing.  That I have not mixed up reprinted legislation with acts or something like that. 

Anyway.  I’m quite sure I have blabbered on about pointless stuff for about 3mins of your life you won’t get back…Feel special aye?

Have a good week! If it all gets too much..Sing some I will Survive..

How do you say… irrelevance?

Quite easily actually

I hate sleeping with a passion and I haven’t written anything for awhile, so I might as well use this time to do so.

Yesterday afternoon, one of my friends pointed out a girl and a boy she knows talking together. What I found very interesting is that these two met the day before in the library after one of them happened to sit at a computer next to the other. It seems apparent they really hit it off.

Now, the question I pose is, does this sort of thing happen often in university? Is it really a giant target for cupids bow? For experimental sake, I am meaning to randomly approach a girl I do not know, and talk to her for 5 minutes. I have no intention of seeking a relationship however. Merely, I am discovering how difficult it is to talk to someone I’ve never met. It is likely I won’t actually carry this out, as I am like a frightened gazelle fleeing from a cheetah and lack the confidence in reference to making a complete and utter fool out of myself. Then again, I do that quite often, and don’t give a damn.

 As unorthodox as I believe myself to be, I don’t think anyone will run to the hills or suck themselves into a high-gravity singularity if I approach them and begin to talk. Generally, people can be quite nice, so I am hoping this generalisation (as large as it may be) will prove to swing in my favour.

It would be more interesting if people reading this did the same. Pucker up and go talk to someone you do not know.
