Sch started today and i finally got back contract. I'm so going to get killed here, but i was quite disheartened by it. Thats rather irrational, as i expected to screw up 1 question and getting an average grade for another, and i really just mope around after torts instead of mugging straight as per the original plan. But still, that grade just reminds me of how much work needs to be done to achieve my desired grade, and this is probably not helped by the fact that i have a sister who got straight As in all her assignments for contract. The expectation of measuring up to her is stressful only in the modules where she got As. my torts grade, no matter how good other pple think it is, only equalled my sis's, who just nonchalently asked me whether i knew it was a comfortable or "barely there" grade.
U know the pressures of law sch is building when pple are declaring themselves to enter into "mugger mode" on the first day of sch, and the usual crackpots going ard agonising over 1 mark lost which may ultimately lead them away from the road to salvation, condemning them to a life of always pushing papers ard little cases, nv hitting big time, and eventually running away with some client's money, however little it may be. but really, the pple who will eventually graduate alive and top of the pile r pple like this certain fren of mine, who has more CCAs than examinable modules in sem 1, yet still manage to get 3As at the end of it, and pick up a gal in thailand on the way. These pple really are frens and role models in living ur life to the max, or as another fren puts it, the "Trietels" in contract. In the greater scheme of things, I'm at Ansons (though i wonder if its due to my grades or maybe the fact that i talk nonsensically most of the time, like Ansons).
But of corz, going back also entails seeing familiar faces, (addition) pple who i havent seen much in the hols, that got me through sem 1, like the duchess Toh, the stupid brudder, "small mcKendrick" Teo, Ms "body" heng, and a litany of characters.. (pple like JQ dun count.. i've seen them throughout the hols playing mj, going for supper, and other activities (disclaimer: not that you guys dun count, but u guys dun count as pple i HAVENT seen MUCH in the hols.. haha)).. and of corz, having someone to save a seat for u in lectures is really quite a nice thing to have =)
And quite why am i rambling over here when i have 60 page article to read, i'm not too sure. But i will just end here.
