Law Skool Drop Out…
Hey Guys,
Sorry I didn’t post last week, and I thought I should post this week before it is two weeks that I haven’t posted… then three… then four… Just like my study really… two weeks since I did a reading, lecture, tute question.. then four..
Things have been kinda overwhelming. Suffice to say, rather than bore you with all the details…. I have… gulp… decided to drop a subject. Yes. It all got a bit much. I really didn’t want to, but it was either pull back, regroup or just fall over. I feel like a bit of a quitter, but anyway… enough of the trying to make myself feel better about it with you guys.
you all sound like you are getting it all together. I am spending the holidays trying to catch up on the three remaining subjects I am doing. Have to say that Admin and teaching staff were really good in helping me try to figure out how to continue with my studies rather than admit that I couldn’t cut the mustard. So big thanks to them.
I do have one other concern. The other day in the lecture with Alastair MacAdam in 141… he said that he believes that if you don’t like reading cases.. you shouldn’t be doing law. Ummm, I kind of don’t like reading cases. I like the summaries, just not the cases. Does this mean I shouldn’t be doing Law?

I find it difficult to read through cases. I’ve got to read them at least four or five times before I can write down what the deal in it was. You read the summaries – that’s the next best thing to reading the cases, so, no from that perspective I don’t think that you shouldn’t do law. Law is a whole lot of reading, especially for us 1st-years, and I believe that the more reading we do, the more we will like reading about the law. Honestly, sometimes it’s to do with the case. Some cases are just not as … riveting as others (sorry to any of my tutors or lecturers who are probably set on shooting me now). But it still counts as reading. Guess what I’m getting at here is just to keep on with the reading.
Got it together? Me? I’m still trying to get my head around all this. Thank Christ for this mid-semester break. And No-Doz.
