Sem Break High

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

I’ve never been so happy to have the sem over! :) Well, lets put it this way… I am always happy I pulled off a sem. Regardless of whether I actually passed, at least I can put it off for another couple of weeks. For now I am in blissful and mindless vacation mode.

Looking back on the past few days, the Moot was surprisingly short and easy, Dean Magi and Sir Roque weren’t as harsh as I feared. I wish I put more effort into it and actually researched before I went there… Oh well, I have one year more… Sorry sir for the crappy memorial. I hope I still get a 2.0 for Moot Class! :)

Transpo was a bummer. Anyways every final is depressing, I don’t bother dwelling on each and every exam. I think I passed? (This is a very optimistic and very vague hope, ladies and gents. I just hope I don’t fail the supposedly unfailables! i.e. Evidence and Transpo and PIL…)

Later I am meeting up with Mel and Rej and the others for Mel’s treat (it’s her birthday month) and I honestly can’t wait to see them! =) and to eat pizza of course! hahaha!

Sweet Moothings…

I’ve never looked forward to the end of the sem as much as I am now. I know, I always say this every sem but never have I meant it more… I am so drained from studying Tax that I feel Succession is taking the flack for it. After studying for 4 days (maybe it was 5) I still didn’t feel it was enough to prepare me for that exam come Mon.! And yes, basics or not, Tax is a bitch though I do know something about it now. Here’s to an enjoyable sem of Tax 2! One beacon at the end of it all is the upcoming end of the sem and that entails, our finals for Moot Class… (aka Jessup try-outs)

Our Jessup moot try-outs are next week and yes, strangely, I feel excited about doing my thing in front of Dean Magi, Dean Raul, Sir Roque… Hahaha! Talk about looking forward to being eaten alive! I’m just in it for the experience. I hope they get me even if it’s just to research for the real thing. I want to be part of the Jessup team but if that doesn’t happen, it means I just have to wait until next year… or try out for PLJ instead. Haha! Nah… I really love PIL. I don’t know why. I love it so much I am willing to invest a year of my precious time being an intern somewhere in Geneva if fate would have it. :)  Although Moot class isn’t really that organized, I’m glad I had it since I learned a lot about PIL. Dean Raul’s not bad too, he’s really passionate about PIL and he is brilliant, given the proper venue (the Socratic method sucks anyways). Cha and Anna and the others have already gone through the IHL try-outs unscathed, I guess we can too with a lot of studying. And prayers.  I’ll do my moot paper this Sat. Wish me luck!  (Hope I don’t disgrace myself ! I do want to work in the International Law field after this…)
