Okay things that happened this week:
MONDAY
- i submitted my journalism research plan
- i had my public law class and i actually understood a lot of the statutory interpretation stuff, which was nice!
- i also finALLy started to understand the stuff we're talking about in torts. We were going through defences for negligence, and it made SEnSE, and also in our tutorials we went through structuring a response and i goT it !!!!
TUESDAY
- omgggg i was meant to have my history lecture today buT i got there, and everyone was sitting and waiting and the lecturer just didn't show up !!!!! and then after 20 minutes of everyone just sitting there, one of the tutors said "oh lol i just got an email, the lecturer is sick and not coming today!" and so class was cancelled !!! it would have been nice to get some notice lol, and because of the class being cancelled it meant that i had a 3 hour break until my next class ! i was just scared because we have to write a diary based partially on lecture content, and this was one of the lectures we HAVE to write about, but i think there will be a make up lecture next week possibly.
- At night I did my Public Law library quiz. it's only worth 10% and i got 18/20 for it, so it was alright. im not tOO upset about losing the 2 marks , because i'm still averaging 85% and all i have left is my exam worth 60% so hoPEfuLLY if i really do well on the exam i can get a nice mark for pub law!!!! i haven't been doing amazingly in my other subjects so im really relying on pub law to be my best mark this sem!
WEDNESDAY
- i had torts classes and they were alright and i understood things
- in my break at uni i applied for a job on campus ! nervOUSssss
- i tried to watch my journalism lecture online but idk why, but every time i try to watch an online lecture my laptop heats up sO much and the fan gets so loud!!! it only eveR happens for monash lectures, and only this year (since monash changed the program we watch lectures on.... suspicious !!!) anyway, so i couldn't get through the whole lecture because i was scared for my laptop but i don't think i missed too muCH. It's just annoying that i always have to watch journalism lectures online. Journalism is only at caulfield campus, and the lecture time is right in between when i have 2 clayton classes, so it is physically impossible for me to get to the journalism lecture and back in time. But after this semester i won't need to go to caulfield anymore, because i'll have finished my journalism minor, so that will be fun.
THURSDAY
- today i only had my journalism tutorial and it was fine , and then i borrowed library books for my journalism essay !!! now i've got to try and write a practice essay for torts.

That sucks about the lecture, I always hate when they don't give advanced notice.
I also wish you the best for torts, I have heard many, many horror stories about the subject from various students studying law.
What campus job did you apply for?

Okay, we have the same lecturer, aha! Thankfully, we weren't left hanging for twenty minutes though. It was annoying they didn't send out an email though because I wouldn't have bothered coming in. I ended up clocking up four or five hours in the library though, so I guess it wasn't a total waste of time! :P

You can never not do work in the library, unless you too busy reading/admiring all the books/journals/articles they house. I may or may not do this when I'm bored or want to procrastinate... :P
