GAR. I hate law. Just a bit. Maybe a lot. Mostly, I hate myself for procrastinating THE ENTIRE SEMESTER and now being horrifically behind, with exams looming in a week. PAIN! SUFFERING! DEATH! I have reached the point where Wikipedia has become my saving grace. Oh, wiki, how I love you and your sometimes not-factually correct answers. BUT THATS OKAY! Better than nothing!
Last night I spent $72 on extra law books, on the Internet. WHY?
I have also reached the point where I am muddling stupid things up. Like: in law? In Australia we have this principle of stare decisis. I did this in year 11 legal studies. I know this principle like the back of my hand. So: tonight. I am in wikipedia, searching for extra intel on the Doctrine of Precedent, and I couldn't figure out WHY it kept linking me to stare decisis. I was all, WTF? It occurs to me, as I'm sitting here going "Stare decisis is to stand by things decided...WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE DOCTRINE OF PRECEDENT" that DUH I am a moron and they are the same thing and I know this and I AM SO SO SO SO DOOMED for exams.
Also at work today I was bemoaning my doom and they were very sorry for calling me in when I could have been studying. But hey, money.
In other important news, I am forcing myself on a hiatus until exams are over, otherwise I will NOT GET THIS DONE. So while I may post about my inevitable doom, I won't be reading the flist at all. Well. Maybe I will read some personal journals, sometimes. BUT NOT. NO I MUST NOT. *tries to have some sort of self restraint*.
SO: Until June 19th, I will not be around! Most annoying is that I have to study on my birthday. NOT FAIR. But--um.
Anyway! So farewell, my pretties! Let me know if anything important comes up!
