Reflections

So lying on my bed about to go to bed.....

2009 is nearly over...(it's still a month and a bit away but time flies)! What can I say? It has been 'interesting' to say the least...

On a side note, I cannot believe we graduated over 2 years ago and it's interesting how different we all are now than back then! I still find it funny that some people, not to mention any names, don't want to move away from the high school change but anyways....=P Embrace change...it's good for you;) I had a completely different position last year (I dislike change, why do things have change? blah blah blah) Glad that's over and done with=D

Back on topic, 2009 started 'differently' to say the least again...12am 1st January 2009: A basketball, "The Sydney fireworks are better than Melbourne, let's flick to them" and an argument not long after, which lasted hmm 3 mins+ probably more or less...! I remember everything which is useful and annoying at the same time...!

I've lost some, I've gained some and I've learnt lots along the way=D Some things have been resolved...some things just hang which will probably not be resolved...ever....

2009 has been an interesting year. If I had to list everything that happened it would be very long.

Things include:

• Getting into law school (I wonder where I learnt all my arguing skills from; probably last year haha...=P)
• "Studying law.... makin' a responsible choice for my future...on friday night...bein' a lawyer had better be awesome....." (Thanks Marshall HIMYM haha)
• Law camp? (what happened again?)
• ILR and RAW? "RAW hoo, what is it good for absolutely nothing?"=P ILR: A quote from our professor Moira Patterson "I used to walk out or exams wanting to slit my wrists *giggle* but usually got the highest marks in my year anyways..." Or something along those lines!
  
• Other 'stuff' besides law of course lol, which I could list but cannot be bothered, and on and on and on it goes....

Should I be writing this a little later...'meh', I'm bored!

What were my resolutions for 2009...I don't know? But I do remember I broke one 30mins into the New Year....not good at all!=P It hasn't all been smooth sailing, but most of it has;) Much better than last year, for obvious reasons, I'll say=)

Goodnight and don't forget to end 2009 on a positive {you have all of 1 month and a bit to go;)}

P.S: So many things on my 'to do' list haha! Will have to get round to them after my last exam on Wednesday (my last ever French exam too=D)

Planning;)

So...on a completely random note, saw the Prato and Malaysia program for 2010 and it looks awesome. (I'm meant to be doing RAW but got distracted by Monsters v Aliens and this thing)

Will probably head off on exchange in 2011 (since I'm only eligible then), which will be sweet, if all goes to plan;)...and things usually don't go to plan, which makes it all the more fun haha! Only need 55% in law subjects so that shouldn't be too bad.

Anyways, if that does end up happening, will only 5 months of uni for the entire year=D Then will probably head on some exchange somewhere else after doing all those uni subjects.

Exciting!

On another note, apparently I only need to do 6 more units to finish my Arts degree;) and will end up walking out with a major in international and a minor in french. Hmmm, what would I do with that? So I can do them all next year, which I probably won't. Need to keep some of my saneness instead of doing ALL law units haha!

And I still have no idea what I want to do after uni haha...(media law; intellectual property...you breached copyright loser...; crim law; corporate law?) still have stacks of time to work it out though! Haha, and this just reminded me of Gary saying 'Privacy laws....' in Year 9ish=P

Been A While;)

Hey!

It has been AGES since I have updated this...but I assume I have already said that in previous posts. 'Meh'=P

All you need to know is life is going pretty sweet at the moment and no complaints...nor regrets;)

Yet, there still remains lots of things to do....dammit, need a 'to do' list haha=P

Anyways, hope all is good with everyone else and until next time...if I actually write something substantial or 'partly significant' lol;)

I should stop smiley winking hey...;)

haha

Can't wait till exams are all over in about a month! Then LONG LONG break...and time to go searching for a job...the money I have leftover from Nando's money is getting smaller, smaller and smaller. Probably from the gym but anyways. Do I actually buy anything haha?

Question One

So I had my contract law exam today and all in all it was pretty swell!

Not sure how I went but 'meh' it is finally done!=D

I for one found the first question worth 35marks quite entertaining. Davison, you sly bastard...it was a typical Davison question=P

'The chief examiner will award you 1 BONUS mark if you put your ID number and stream number on the front of your script booklet'...words to that effect.

And the question was discuss the contractual implications. Was there a contract ya ya ya!

I found that terribly interesting as I didn't even think about that before. Anyhoo, I managed to throw in a 2minute estoppel argument at the end 'Estopp, you should give me that mark otherwise I might suffer an emotional detriment=P (Cth v Verwayen)'

The other question was 'The chief examiner now decides to revoke his offer'. Discuss your (legal) opinion.

I would have wrote "yeah, f*** you"=P but nooo you need a legal opinon=P

All in all, it was alright!

Have International Studies tomorrow! 'Bleugh' so absolutely cramming for that! But then I'm left with French so pas de stress!

Anyways, hope all's well! Drinks after it's all over=) Catchsky

Fresh consideration?

I needed a random name=P

Happy?

Anyhoo, so someone did something tonight (well it was last night, since I'm posting this now) which I was not really expecting but it made me happy=)=) It was not the same person as my previous blog but 'meh'. Anyways, it is not that hard to work out if you actually knew what I was doing that day....

And haha, here is another ambigious blog much like everything in law! I guess it is just because exams are on;) or that is just my excuse!

After they're all over, I am sure these blogs will get 'less ambigious' or actions to that effect=P

Or, I will actually share what is going on...hehe=P

Exams?

Hopefully, I passed ILR (Intro to Legal Reasoning) and do not have to do it again otherwise it will kill me. I just wrote 'bleugh' and scattered everything. Could not think at all! And I don't think I was the only one in this boat! Time is the enemy...!

And had french culture today. YES! i threw in my line on the 'dream machine' which is the 'Au bon marche' and 'prostitution'=P

I have contracts on Thursday (worth 90% but I'll get there) and Contemporary Worlds on Friday ('bleugh'..memorising a history essay)

Then French et tout sera fini=)

Other stuff

And yeah, old msn conversations are absolutely hilarious...

Which reminds me, I am still extremely interested in why someone starting with 'P', ending with 'P' with an 'I' in the middle, decided to stop talking to me in Year 12 and still has not made contact...I have never been able to work it out and the day I find out, I will laugh=P If there even is a reason...it's hilarious.

And thinking about heading to Noumea over the summer for a summer semester there. That is if I decide to continue in French and major in it and can fork out $4000. If not, there's always next year;)

So with that, Catchysky later! Hope everyone is keeping nice and well!

Random

You make me happy.....;)

And that is all I'm going to say and mention in this blog...;) lol

Who, what and why? hehe

Until next time! 

Procrastination & other things

I hate this word yet everyone deals with it in their own way! Some let it fly and do not bother with it, whilst some people are sick of it...me included=P

And I've found the way to get rid of it! Well, it is fairly obvious=P Goals, goals and goals! The more you have, the more you have to achieve something by the end of it and the more motivated you are to do something=D It works;)

Anyways, on another note, I read this amazing article in The Weekend Australian Magazine (May 9-10). It was titled, "My mother, myself" by Vanessa Hunter. I don't think it's on the internet but anyways. I can really relate to it.

Some stuff on the article really stood out to me and here's just one of them "All I can do is remember that there were things she hadn't yet taught me, wisdom she still had to impart."
Anyways, some of you know what I'm talking about and other's probably don't mais ca marche.

Anyhoo, enough about the serious stuff=P It's Week 10 and it means that Exams are coming up! Yay! I have 5 exams this semester, including a pointless French culture one which I have learnt nothing in=P Except for names like Baudelaire and Haussman. Anyways, I'm pumped to get them all done with=D

4 Weeks till ILR...get pysched everyone!=P Maybe we need a dose of Barney's psyche mix!

But it's oh so useful. I'm referring to Contract (K) Law. Seriously, when you buy a car and you want to know whether it is an 'express term' that they will service your car before, when you get an infrigement from Connex and you want to know if you can get out of it, when you buy a drink from the vending machine. Everything is relevant. I guess doing Law makes you see the world in a whole different light. I'm being a detriment to you cause you're reading this and I'm wasting your time=P

I like talking about Law, don't I! I must really like it=P

Anyways, it's 12ish so I'm going to head off! Catchsky laterz and if you're bored, find the hidden meanings in my blog haha=P Or let's call them 'subtle nuances'=P
