Catching up should be an Olympic sport…

You know, being behind at Uni is rather fun.

Seriously.

I like challenges, so I’m weird like that. I’ve totally missed way too many science lectures, and a few Law ones to boot! Awesome, I reckon. Now I’m competing that that wicked long-distance event called “catching up”. It’s a slog, I’ll tell you that much. Got to have the right technique, otherwise you’ll get yourself a red flag. DOn’t want to fail right before you get the gold (like an infamous Australian once did, 10 points if you know who I’m talking about!)

I’ve got two assignments that I know of. Hehe. One is easy (SCB111), and one is interesting (LWB142). Looking forward to getting ‘em done next week on my break…

…as I attempt to run my own business. Gah. I need the money too, my laptops screen just died.

I’m a sad panda.

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,
