not a makeup post entry: the things I do to become a lawyer

...seems far from there yet.

I knew I would write very less during this two semesters of my third year as a law student (and already I'm dreading the damage it would cost to this site when I entered into my final year, hopefully) This whole two semesters for me, aside from studying, has been about completing my Thesis, or well known for us here as Project Paper. I know before entering the third year that it would have been very easy to score in it if you're constantly working your butt off on it. Seriously, from all the talks, I thought it would be an easy feat. But no, boy no. Not only do some of us have to endure physical pain just to get it done, but people like me, who I think would be classed in the average people-completing-their-work category, it has already been a suicidal mission from the very beginning. Seriously if I were to look back, from all the classes, tutorials and projects that had been my regular busy schedule for this past two and a half years, I wouldn't be able to tell how I managed to complete my thesis. And complete it I did. Of course, in the best form that I could give, because the supervisors here won't even accept a just-get-it-done kind of work. If you are not capable of answering your authorities, the 13800 words of thesis won't even see the back of your supervisor's door. T.T

This is a pre-edited version of the Thesis, bare without its proper cover and binding.

And of course, after a whole year of work, and we did pass it up, we have approximately a week and a few days of brief solitude, which after that, came our much dreaded, once-in-a-year final examination ;


I dropped any other elective subjects for this year, thought I could finish them in my final year because the thesis was talking too much of my time and I knew I couldn't cope up with it. So I stuck to the 4 major courses: Equity, Will and Trust, Jurisprudence, Partnership and Company Law and Public International Law. The papers, once faced with them, were not nearly as bad for me as compared to the preparations and studying beforehand. Maybe I was used to this semester's working on the brink of things that I refused to be succumbed to any post-examination what-ifs and looking back for answers. I decided to let it be- even before I started my first paper. And true enough, mindset does play a role. After answering each four of the papers, I felt free like a bird with enough shits. Each time was satisfying.


I finished my last paper on Thursday, which was two days ago, and my post-examination freedom and celebration consist of the following weekends, and on Monday next week, I'll see myself in High Court Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur, starting on my first day of Attachment program;

Some work-related stuffs beginning Monday until 6 weeks after.

Well for some very obvious reasons, I must say that I detest the thought of having to start working so early, right after our examination. But it would be so much of a hassle not to really, on a brighter note, I'll have a fully uninterrupted holiday after that. But for next Monday, I'm just going to buckle up and face it, like I did my previous thesis and examination. Hopefully it's for the best, and I'm able to have fun as well as being serious in court. I was hoping that some of the practices would lift up my half-empty bottle of spirit. I needed the extra nourishment over the seemingly dry interest that I have right now. And crucial it is, as Malaysia as well as the International's political issues are getting juicier. I need to get back on track in the legal lane.


But of course, what fun would the legal lane be without the necessary sidetrack of regular beauty and makeup doses? :)
