World of our own
It began last week, starting with AS (Analytical Skills) mid-terms. Granted, I copied the answer off the bubble sheets of a variety of trustworthy people. But it was tedious, trying to reconcile everyone's answers, especially when I'm completely clueless. I should start taking AS more seriously, there are but a few more weeks left.
Following which, we had a contract mid-term test on Saturday. 20% of a (can I even say, potentially promising) contract grade which yours truly flushed down the drain, the essay question was on "whether the sole goal of damages was to compensate the non-breaching party for his loss" and I only managed to explained compensatory damages (i.e expectation-loss damages and reliance-loss damages). A major discussion point of the essay was, I think, how damages served to ( in addition to compensation), prevent the unjust enrichment of the breaching party, some sort of restitutionary function, which I completely had no time to explain. And then there's also Wrotham park damages, which isn't so concerned with compensation/restitution but merely seeks to offer a reasonable sum for which the claimant is willing to relax a convenant breached by the breaching party, where a mandatory injunction would have been unreasonable.
But I knew how to write it D:
And I didn't. It's like lifeeee.
I do like contract law.
And then the hypo question scared the shit out of me when there were only twenty minutes left to the end of the exam, cuz for thirty fleeting seconds I thought that my answer was out of point because I'd completely misread the question.
I didn't do anything on Saturday night.
Sunday was oddly spent, in a mess of tears and sleep and lots of angst (pertaining to both the academic and non-academic issues of life)
but I'm not even near half-way done yet Just today morning (Monday) I was rushing my BGS (Business, Government, Society) essay to the very last minute, and then now that that's done, I've got to trudge on rather wearily for LRW (Legal Research and Writing ) to tackle this insane appellate brief on a topic I have completely no idea about - Vicarious liability - having to present a case for which the other side is plainly much, much more convincing. (Helpless yelp) AND I HAVE TO MEET HELENA TOMORROW AFTERNOON TO SHOW HER WHAT IVE DONE THUS FAR (right now, the answer is nothing.)
On Wednesday morning 8am I have to meet Andrea and Vic to discuss our Tort Law presentation and report due in less than a weeks' time, on defamation (now that can't be that bad.) After tort class on the very same day at 12am I have to rush for an AS meeting, which is not even due until 3 weeks' later, but thankfully I have some really motivated group mates. Hallelujah~
Oh I forgot to say that I have Samba practice on Tuesday night until 10.30pm, and contract presentation outline due by Friday morning 8am.
AND THOMAS DINGGGGGGG MY DEAR OUR KEPPEL CASE-STUDY COMPETITION HOW????? (DUE ON FRIDAY 12 MARCH)
I haven't been connecting very well with the world these days.
And I should not be here, but I feel like I must.
I'm going to the USA in the summer.
6 more weeks. It feels so near, so real.
Life is moving forward at the speed of light
I am at the glassroom at 9.19pm on a Monday night.
[edit: WHAT THE. I JUST REALISED THAT MY LAST FOUR SENTENCES RHYMED. ADNAAN, WHAT HAVE YOU AND YOUR ORANGE FLOWER DONE TO ME.]
