Aug. 3rd, 2006 08:13 pmA scene from legal theory today:
Me: *had hand up to say something about contract law*
Lecturer: Okay, following on from the last answer... Siobhan, if there was no law against robbing banks, would you go rob a bank?
Me: What? Er... no?
Lecturer: Why not?
Me: *automatically* It's too much effort.
Class: *CACKS UP LAUGHING*
Me: Um. I mean.
Lecturer: Any other reason?
Me: *long silence* *lamely* Moral... reasons?
Lecturer: I know, it's very hard to say it's wrong.
Class: *DYING*
So now half of second year law probably has the impression I'm lazy and amoral.
Which is, uh, fairly accurate.
Oh well, you've gotta laugh at that. XD Dani said I should have said "yes" when he asked if I'd rob a bank if I could get away with it. If I was going to be a smartarse about it (rather than a natural dumbarse *g*) I probably would have said "depends on which bank", but.
Am very very tired. My laptop is love, and now has all the games I want plus about half the music transferred onto it. My lecture notes are so much better than before because I can type a lot faster than I can write. Keep vowing to myself I'll do more work than the semester before and, eg, actually take notes, which I am so far attempting to do but I haaaaaaaate note-taking. I'm ALMOST up to date on my law reading, am behind on phonetics and phonology and have stuff that needs doing for japanese. Also I need sleep.
So tomorrow I'd better stop getting distracted by Clex fic and Narikiri dungeon, get some proper sleep and do some damn work. And maybe some writing, because that has really suffered in the last few weeks.
Like my diabetes, which on a side note is completely out of control at the moment. *grumpy* WILL I NEVER BE STABLE? this time it's a lot of high readings instead of hypos. I think I prefer the hypos.
To end the entry on a more positive note, I'm about to go home from work (having only worked about 3 hours; I got to come in an hour later cause there were no doctors on between 4 and 6), I have no classes tomorrow and I'm in love with TRC 124. I don't feel like I have anything particularly coherent, insightful or intelligent to say at this point so I'll leave it at that, but if anyone wants to discuss it, I'm there. ♥
Ooh, mum's here!
