It has begun!!!

Hello folks! I am back! I am OUT for the year! That's right people! 4 months of sweet holidays to follow. I look forward to some gentle exercise and some good guitar progress.

So here's a breakdown of the exams I had to do.

Contract Law
Nicely done, two questions to do in two hours. My first answer was brilliant, sheer textbook worthy in approach. Second one was dodgy, a lotta things could applied so I mentioned them all, but had to rush to include it all before time ran out before going in-depth.

Communication and Media Research
Waste of my time! Nice and easy. It's an easy HD on that exam for me, but since my stupid tutor was so harsh in her marking I'll probably only wind up with a Credit overall for the subject. This two hour exam only took me 45 mins. Don't worry, it wasn't anything crazy, just 50 short answer questions which I had studied profusely for.

Tax Law!
AHHHH! This coulda been the great undo-er of my studying and brilliance. The test was worth 100% so everything came down to that. Three problem solving questions in three hours. I didn't fail (I think and hope), I got down everything I needed to get done in order to satisfy the general requirements in answering a legal problem (under the IRACS system) and I was happy with my answers so I'm glad to have that out of the way.

Reporting
Waste of one hour of my life! 100 Multiple choice and True Or False questions. It took me only 30 mins, but for some reason they wouldn't let us out so I was just sitting there for 30 mins idly looking around. I'd studied fairly hard for it, so I'm sure I did well.

It's time for my links and this time around I have some absolute gems for you.

This guy is an absolute genius. How come all these freakin' law people look so much older than I do?

Next up is

Basically a commentary on the 2004 US presidential elections. Extremely left wing. Good read, but will take a fair while to get through, but it's enjoyable.

Finally is

This was referred to me by Madame N. This is basically a shockwave/flash game where you get to be a Yeti with a huge club, smacking a decapitated penguins head to see how far you can hit it. It's simple yet extremely addictive. The goal is to get the head to land on as many mines as you can for maximum distance. My best distance is the absolutely awesome. If anyone can beat my world record of 1088.6, my hat goes off to you!

I've got another song to add to my 'most melodic song' of all time list. Of course it only comprises 2 songs so far.
Pets, by Porno for Pyros & an absolutely wonderful ditty concocted by the other.
The next song to join the list is There By The Grace Of God, by the Manic Street Preachers. Absolutely lovely, go listen to it NOW!

I had a talk with a friend I have known since pre-school but don't really talk to that much for the first time in ages today. He's a regular guy, but he's become a punk now. Totally influenced by the music and the message. He's become very opinionated and left wing which is good to see. I think that democracy is flawed. True freedom is flawed, it's a messed up concept. I can't remember the philosopher who thought of it, but he said to imagine democracy in a zoo. No cages. In the end, the lions kill everything. Is that fair for the other animals? No!

I feel good about finishing though. I wanna see some sights, maybe go on a trip! Who knows. But there'll be plenty of time for Les Femme Anomaly!

I wish the concept of religion was changed totally. I think for a pure test of soul, God should not have revealed "its" existence until you had died. Hehe reminds me of finding out the answers to the exam after you've done the test. But it'd be a PURE test of whether someone was good or bad, without throwing in the complexities that religion brings in. They'd be doing it for themselves, not a third party.

I'll let you in on a lil secret. After Lizzie McGuire finished on the ABC the week, they replaced it with a show called Girls In Love. It's a British show, aimed at teenage girls of course. But it just kicks the crap through Lizzie McGuire. It's because it's REALISTIC! The girls on the show are 15. They talk about kissing, sex, relationships, broken homes. It's THE perfect mix between hard hitting reality and absolutely cunning commentary on the state of being a teenager in today's world. It's bold. Let me give you an example of this week's ep. The main girl's best friend had an overbearing boyfriend who wanted to have sex. So they went to the shops and decided to test her by saying "if you can handle the responsibility, then you are ready". Basically, they wanted her to buy a pack of condoms. Of course, she couldn't go through with it. But it was a funny thing with serious undertones.

In fact, it reminds me of an incident last year! I used to get massive breaks at uni so I'd hang out with two female friends of mine at the shopping centre. Anyway, a friend of ours was having her 21st birthday and since we're students, we decided we'd throw in for a lot of tacky cheap stuff. Anyway, our friend is rather promiscuous, so we thought we'd also buy a pack of condoms to add to the basket. So we were at the register at Woolworths (Safeway for our American friends) and me being too shy, and one of the girls being a good lil catholic, couldn't bear to walk through the register without cracking up. So the other girl decided to take it upon herself to go through with the purchase. So there we were, a guy and two girls buying a pack of condoms, and drawing on my acting skills, tried to keep a straight face. The lady (middle aged) behind the counter gave us some 'check out' (no pun intended) looks and after the transaction was completed she goes "Enjoy yourselves!!!" in THEEEEE most patronizing tone ever! I just wanted to laugh like a maniac! I think I can put that down as one of the most embarrassing moments in my life and will most likely come back to haunt me some day!

Anyway, that's enough for today folks. It's good to be back and getting some much needed sleep! Have a nice day!
