Non-starter

Today wasn't overly productive; I might as well be honest. After having well over 14 hours of sleep and rising at a respectable 2pm I felt re-charged and ready to work. After grabbing a traditional student Sunday lunch of cheese on toast I set off to the library to meet a friend and tackle tutorial questions for the up and coming week. Ordinary enough.

I left feeling somewhat puzzled, confused and slightly angry. Why the hell am I preparing a tutorial for which the lectures that are supposed to compliment it are not until the week after I'm supposed to have prepared and taken part in that tutorial? For me it makes no sense and is a huge waste of time knowing that I will learn this again for a second time in little under a week. But never mind.

On a different note I see that the Oxford Debating Society has decided that it's standing by it's decision to extend an invitation to Nick Griffin and David Irving to speak in it's forum on Monday.

Without wanting to get too involved I shall leave you with a quote: "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Short but sweet

So, like many others, I have decided to start a blog about my life as a law student - but quite why I have chosen to do this at five past two on a Sunday morning is beyond both me and the point.

Having read blogs from various people at various stages in their pursuit of becoming a lawyer in one form or another, I thought I would try and go some way to representing the law student still at University. This, put another way, means that I still have a hell of a long way to go before achieving this distant goal.
