I have my 100% closed book equity exam tomorrow. And I'm determined to stay positive.

Maybe everyone will fail.

Edit: HIGH DISTINCTION, HERE I COME.

My life is a theme park!

Let me rephrase that.

My life is a rollercoaster. Of stress. It's not a rollercoaster because I have up-down periods of stress; it's more the fact that I launch from stressing over law to stressing over the internship with much stomach-jolting along the way. Before June is half through, I will have found freedom. Until then ( Read more... )

Mr Kick-Ass Judge is my hero. 

Did I mention how good Tangled was? Tangled was great. Funny funny funny, and Rapunzel wasn't as one-dimensionally 'Xena Warrior Princess' as the promos made her look, which was a good thing in my books. You must see this movie, if only for MAXIMUS, the justice-seeking horse with the nose of a hound.

I went to the ACME Disney exhibition last week ( Read more... )

You know how some people's bedrooms are so strewn with clothes that you can't see the floor? My room's a bit like that right now, only instead of clothing, it's carpeted with library books. Despite the fact that I have an important law report due next Monday, I've spent the last two days utterly engrossed in a new favourite: Poison Study by Maria V ( Read more... )

Okay, best criminal law case ever.

The accused was charged with armed robbery. Basically, he popped down to his local shop with a crossbow that he'd purchased earlier (as you do). He was all, "Mate, it's not what I wanted; can I have my money back?" The shop assistant says no, refunds come in store credit only. The accused uses the store credit to ( Read more... )

I'm currently listening to an exam revision lecture, and I'm dying a little inside. Or I would be, except that I'm wrapped up warm in my house eating gingerbread and generally ignoring the lecturer's analysis of a Remarkably Tedious Act (RTA 1997 Vic). Baking is the key to surviving hideously boring exam revision lectures. Gingerbread is like the ( Read more... )

Hawthorn's coming back. Modern Family is surprisingly hilarious. Doctor Who is impressing me - although Sunday's vampire/bug extravaganza didn't fill me with thrills.

I spent Friday painting my scout hall, and it looks fabulous. I shall use the same design and colours on the bedroom of my firstborn. It's all pretty yellows and whites and baby blues ( Read more... )

Cannot stop listening to the theme of BBC Pride and Prejudice. It's open on my laptop and the menu music is playing. I officially quit this century. I want to go back to Austen time and wear beautiful empire-line dresses and marry Mr Darcy and engage in light social satire during conversation with my ridiculous family. Really, I could watch it ( Read more... )

So, about that 2500 word essay due to tomorrow. ... Topic: "Assess the US decision to invade Iraq in 2003." Should be simple, right?

I have accumulated a towering pile of books next to my bed. To give you an idea of how quickly I'm moving forward, my contacts case has been balancing atop the pile for the last three weeks.

I finished Jane Eyre! Good ( Read more... )
