Long Time, no post..

Wow, it has been so long since I posted, I forgot my password.

Just having a read through all of your posts over the last few weeks of the semester and I just can’t quite relate to those saying they “loved” some subjects…. ugh.. never, ever want to see them again…. especially LIAM!!!!! such a high maintenance boyfriend… so demanding, never letting you have any time for your other so called friends such as.. well, it doesn’t matter it’s over now. 

Hopefully we live and learn from our experiences… Well that was the plan anyway. 

(I have always been about the plan.  You know, a night out drinking with the girls, we had a plan.  The plan was always Drink, Dance, Die… The Rules, no strays and definitely no drunk dialling… we girls had to stick together… and like all good plans we promptly threw them out the window, and just tried to minimise damage. Often we didn’t stick to the plan, and hardly ever stuck to the rules.. but I digress) 

So, after the debacle that was last semester, I had planned on being so super prepared for this semester that I was going to have all my books, and the readings for the first two weeks done for each subject….before the semester started.

Well, here we are back next week, and I just ordered my text books yesterday (Friday) and I have not done a single thing…. that whistling sound you might have heard a few weeks ago was The Plan flying out the window.   You would think that after all those years of drinking with the girls that I would give up on The Plan.. .

Honestly, after the exams, I just didn’t want to think about it.  I was a little nervous about getting my marks… and I am pleased to say I did pass them all.  The mark I am most proud of is my 4.  Yep.. just got it too,… 51% . 

Why am I proud of this mark you might be wondering…. especially when everyone knows you have to get good marks in Law to get the good job..

Well, let me tell you.

On the morning of the exam, I got up at 4am.. I didn’t do any study, you see I had a plan…I simply spent from 4am until 7am getting my notes into some kick ass templates, and order, so I would be ready.  7am, I hit the print button and start running to get my kids up, dressed, lunches made and in the car so i can drop them off at before school care and get in, get a park ready for the exam at 8.30am. 

After much cajoling, pushing, shoving and demanding, I had the kids in the car eating their toast for breakfast and I was on my way at 7.50am, telling them not to drop crumbs in the car.  I basically told them to tuck and roll as I pushed them out of the car at before school care (not really I did walk them in) and screamed through peak hour traffic to Uni. 

I was lucky to get a park and be sitting down in front of the exam room with 10 minutes to spare, and thinking I would sit down and calmly read over my notes… my notes.. I pulled my whole bag apart only to realise they were at home sitting on the printer.  I didn’t pack any of my rough notes because I had these kick ass notes.. that were at home on my printer.   So I basically did that exam with my text book and my lecture note pad.   Having spent most of the time trying to find out how to answer the first question, I had just started the second question when the “INVIGULATOR”, calls out fifteen minutes to go…. so i put down some points for question two and basically some very brief bullet points for question three…. yes, that 1 % that just scraped me over from having to do a subject again.. I bet are those last three bullet points.  So, I am very proud of that mark.

Anyway, I wish you all the best for semester two… and I look forward to seeing you all in the lectures and the tutes.

PS.  On reflection of this past semester, I just want to say a very big thank you to all the new friends I made … you guys have been invaluable in getting me to this point… from helping me with stuff I just didn’t understand, to listening to me moan about my life, giving me tips and places to go for help, help with assignements, and just basically getting me over the line… a big huge heartfelt thank you. R,G, R, L,C,H, K… you guys rock.
