freezing mah ass off...and other random things
It's so cold and it's getting colder by the day.I can deal with the cold.What I CAN'T deal with is the cold AND wind AND rain all at the same time.My hands feel like they are about to fall off anytime.I don't have to go for botox because my face is perpetually frozen.eePs.How time flies. Classes are coming to an end in 3.5 weeks. Placements start and run for another 3 weeks. I'm glad cuz I got placed in my first preference. Some others weren't as lucky.Then I'm done. I get my Practical Legal Training Diploma certificate.In mid-November I get admitted to the bar as a qualified Australian legal practitioner...whatever that means.I say goodbye to my college and some of my classmates. I hope to stay in touch with many of them.Maybe one day we will be standing on opposite sides of the bar table.Maybe one day we may be working with each other.How I will miss them. How I will miss the times we had.How much I have gained from this course.I'm so thankful.Which reminds me that ex-Australian Idol judge Mark Holden sat in our lecture and class today.We had a full day of Intellectual Property law today (which is uber interesting) and I didn't realise that he was sitting right in front of me until one of my classmates told us. My friend, who was sitting next to me, patted him on the shoulder and said hello and we struck up a conversation. He's very nice. He told us that he has a law degree and he was going to take up our course next year to be admitted to practice. He didn't do that straight after his law degree FROM MONASH UNI in 1970-something because he wanted to pursue a career in music first (yes, he's also a recording artiste and he has his own label). Needless to say, some people were excited about getting his autograph and his picture, whilst others were keen to get his perspective on the music industry. Anyway he looks exactly like he does on television.My weekend is packed again with fun activities :)
