Surviving Law @ QUT

The first year experience of QUT law students

I may not be religious, but…

Thank god that is over. What a miserable day. First, the final exam for me with 141. What a mess. Precedent and Judicial reasoning no sweat, but what was with that interpretation question?? did anyone else find you could have written for 3 hours on that question alone. I did all of those freakin past exam paper questions and not one of them was as long as the exam one. talk about misrepresenation!

And then after that, after hanging around my post office box like a bad smell for the past week waiting for some feedback for my 141 assignment, i finished my exam (frustrated), walked to my post office box and there the freaking thing was. Opened it up, red scrawl all over it (yes Alistair, i’m assuming it belongs to you and yes Peter i know he can read this). What a way to end first semester. Then to top it all off, i had to run back from my post office box with someone of a lump in my throat just in time to sit down with my first patient. I was so worked up that when my first patient told me she hadn’t been flossing (like i’ve been telling her to do for the last 2 years), i could have knocked out all her teeth. Problem solved. Much easier than ridiculously long statutory interpretation questions.

  1. I feel for you. I’m certain the holidays will dull everything for us. Take care.

  2. Hi Carrieabag… I’ve applied for mid-year intake to QUT’s external program. I am based in Sydney but travel a lot for work. I have a lot of questions about how people in the program actually access/study the materials… and take exams. I can’t find much information online… is there anywhere you could direct me to? Thanks in advance…
