Hey all.
Not much happening this week. The same old tutorials and lectures. Easter break is comming up but it isn’t to much of a break since I still have the legal citation and library tasks to do. Sam (another blogger) also scared me and Kiera (also another blogger) by saying she had an assignment due, thank god it was for justice since I think we both were ready to get the red bull out and pull an all nighter to get this mystory assignment done. I rifled through my workbooks and found nothing though. Turns out the rifling was a good thing since it made me realise I had an assignment due on the 7th of April. Another reason why the easter break really isn’t to much of a break afterall.
The light is not on
Hi people!
It’s just the beginning of week four but by heck is this semester flying by like some super-speed concorde … or a Millennium Falcon … on top of all the reading there is to do, there is also group work to think about for business, and a law essay sneaking up on us (somewhat) unsuspecting souls. I am rather grateful that this first assignment for law doesn’t require any further research; in fact all the research is handed to us on a silver platter ready to be churned into a 1000-word script. Note to self: better touch up on assignment-writing skills.
Up until the middle of last week, I was beginning to fear that I’d never be able to properly understand and analyse a case. It’s all well and good to be reading a case and finding out the judgment, but having to answer the tutorial questions was a feat I was finding difficult to tackle. Alas, along comes Friday’s tute and it was then that I discovered just how incredibly patient our law tutor could be. It still takes me some time to work my way through a case, but my head is no longer six-inches deep in mud about it anymore.
My work lost power for half the night – now that was interesting. Found a bit of time to watch Vantage Point. Some intense acting from Dennis Quaid there, I have to say, so three stars from me. I’ll have to go read The Time Traveller’s Wife now since you guys have brought it up. I read a short summary about that book a while back that piqued my interest. Has anyone read this short story called The Green Door? It’s about this man who, one day, finds this green door. When he opens it he steps into a literal paradise, but after he exists, the door disappears. He then spends his entire life searching for it again. Many, many years later, he finally finds another green door, but this time when he opens it and walks in, he falls to his death. Yes, I realise that it’s an untimely demise and that I’ve completely ruined the story for everybody, but it’s worth a read just for its unfortunate ending.
Laters,
