Surviving Law @ QUT

The first year experience of QUT law students

Kalatches

Hi everybody,

Law exams are finished for the year. Still one more assignment to hand in, though…as well as a huge, looming business exam, but let’s not think about that or else I may go insane. Just one more day separating me from the welcoming arms of summer break. I’m torn: on the one hand I want Monday to pass right this second so that I can vegetate party with friends for the next 3 months; on the other hand I don’t want it to come at all because that way I can pretend that those final two assessment pieces don’t exist. I know we’ve all been there.

In case people get bored over summer, here are a few ideas to get you through those boiling days and nights: read Crime and Punishment, The Book of the Dead and Inferno. Go rent out “Kung Fu Panda” — you won’t be sorry; the humour is great. Watch tennis. In fact, there’s the Brisbane International next January, which I highly recommend you to go attend. Of course, there’s always the Australian Open. You must should all watch the tennis this summer.

It’s been a long and winding journey…as they say…but, in restrospect it’s actually been pretty fun. Don’t get me wrong, though: procrastination is not fun, and never will be. Making friends with procrastination is not a good idea, at all — so don’t do it. Don’t ask me why. You know why!

See you around!

  2. It’s a food mentioned in ‘Crime and Punishment’ – some kind of Russian bread.

  3. “Hi:

    Two things

    1) I’d like your permission to (re)print your article on “The Goode Family”
    for our website

    2) I was hoping we could use your ‘scribing’ talent for our website.

    The Best Shows Youre Not Watching (dot) com [all one word]

    ‘The Clone Wars’ is one of our featured shows. We’re hoping to round up a few people who can occasionally contribute perspective (via an article/blog) on the shows – maybe a recent episode, future direction, plot shortcomings etc.

    What’s in it for you?
    Primarily a larger audience back channeled to your blog. We don’t pay but the site has a lot of promise and we’re pretty excited about getting it off the ground. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks
