hmmph well my problem is family issues. as much as i love to go to a psychiatrist for family problems, i would rather go to the doctors on monday and grab him to write a letter to monash. i guess i'll do that on friday after my 3rd last exam.
Just make sure it fits the criteria:

'Sit an exam? Sorry, no can do... have to go to court and listen to a crazy man's explanation of how he didn't stab his enemy, but how he "fell onto his enemy with his knife in his hand and accidentally pierced him with it."'
(That last part is a true story actually... it was a county court case I sat in on during VCE... he also denied throwing a coffee cup... in a similar fashion to the knife, the coffee cup "slipped from his hands as he was walking, flew across the room, and smashed into the wall next to his enemy".)
We studied a case in criminal law where the guy actually got off murder and only got manslaughter. He was robbing a milk bar with a knife in his hand. The milk bar owner got stabbed. He claimed he was merely waving it at him and the owner "walked into the knife himself". The court believed him.
What is this I don't even -_-
