I'm looking forward to going out with friends, SHOPPING, eating better food and taking better care of myself omg so much to doooooo

10:00 PM

I can't believe I've read so many things on the principles of causation and duty of care in tort, so many times, and it's only two days before the exam that I realised that deep down I was still so confused about it all, relooked my books and reached ultimate enlightenment. The meaning of it ALL. It was a big 'ohh' followed by a bigger 'oh shit' as I realised that everything I've learnt about tort in the past year was an ABSOLUTE LIE. Thank you dearest brain for only realising it now.

I feel like killing myself as I realise how absolutely hopeless it is to finish revising everything now that I'm seeing all my cases and notes in an entirely different light ): I feel damn tempted to forget my revelation, since it's still obviously possible to get decent marks with a mistaken beliefs as evidenced by my term essays...... and I hate the stupid requirement for us to do 2 problem questions because I STILL DUNNO HOW TO ANSWER PROBLEM QUESTIONS LIFE SUCKS

2:22 PM

I HATE DAMAGES the reason why I did law was precisely to escape from math HOW CAN YOU MAKE ME DO MATH rarrrrr this is so confusing

12:16 PM

OH DEAR I just realised 2 weeks late that I forgot to go for my last contract tutorial woops haha

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you,
I can't live,
With or without you.

1:05 AM

I've always wondered whether the lse library fines which allows it to charge us 50p per hour for late set texts would be considered unfair under utccr! And whether anyone tried reporting it or if it'll fail at first instance. But seriously zz returning a book one day late and getting a 10pd fine slapped on you is not fun

p.s. my roomie just spent the entire day in bed, just cos she can. I hate life )))):

Thursday, May 20, 2010

9:19 PM

It's 9pm and there's still light outside. It's 21degrees. I love life <3

sigh I don't want to study anymore I have realised how royally screwed I am how to finish studying contract and tort in 3 days ):

6:12 PM

HI LIFE I AM BACK for a very short breather before the shit that is obligations comes

property was crazy shit but I'm trying very hard not to think about it. I'm just so happy it's over. Yes friends don't be so depressed about property!!! No use thinking about it anyway :/

sigh I dun want any of my results back.

11:50 AM

I love studying downstairs in the dining hall cos can stare at cute angmoh guys.

Just like how yj and I love going to the starbs near our hall cos there're 2 cute angmoh guys.

The guy across me is damn cute I cannot stop peeking at him hehe I'm such a voyeur but it makes me feel happyyyy

OKAY BACK TO STUDYING IM GOING TO FAIL PROPERTY because yj and I spent the entire last night just debating about ownership in body parts because there're so many points for and against and we couldn't decide which stance to take -.- and I haven't memorised a single shit. I've totally given up on stupid jeremy bentham and his utilitarian theory cos I have no time so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let mabo and bodyparts be answerable!!! Or I'll cry ): shit okay 2 more hours only stop being distracted!!!!!

/edit/ shit I keep thinking they're going to be evil and do weird twisted things with the questions, like having bentham on mabo, or asking us to compare the judgments in mabo or something really mean and I'm going to just stare at my paper not knowing how to answer and regret the day I decided to take law. PANIC

6:49 PM

MY LIFE IS SO SAD I DON'T WANT TO START ON PROPERTY OMG

okay exit whining mode back to being a dumb loser

/edit/ oh dear I really look like a skinny beanstalk right now): my mama is going to be so sad when she sees me. zz. but hehe I just bought loads of dessert to eat tonighttt yayyy

5:56 PM

3 down two more to gooooo

I can't believe I've survived this onslaught so far. ILS was not too bad, for once I actually had a choice of questions! Amazing.

After property tmr I dun care I'm going to have a good nap and screw obligations woots.

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

2:55 PM

OMG I can't believe that's over

I am so proud of myself. Even after looking through the paper, going 'wtf' for every single question I managed to keep my cool which was very hard to keep, because seriously, WTF? First they put our papers back to back, then they put public in the morning after crim so that we can't study well for it, and THEN they give us guailan questions like these.

I was damn stunned for like 5 minutes, cos I couldn't answer a single question. I had to choose 4 questions out of compulsion, not cos I knew how to answer them but because I had no choice. It was either die badly or die really fking badly. That feeling is damn super shit next year I'll go prepare more topics thanks.

Thankfully after attempting them I didn't feel thaaat bad, even though like 3/4 of my knowledge weren't even used and I just commonsensed through the answers so they're probably damn retarded and inaccurate but who cares at least I wrote something. When I put down my pen the effort from all that concentration was so draining I couldn't stop trembling. I'm just so happy I survived.

I'm not even hoping for a high 2 1, or even a 2 1 omg. I can't believe it's actually damn possible for me to get 2 2s for everything. I feel like I'm damn stupid why is it so hard for me to memorise and understand law what have I been doing for the past year?????

Okay don't think about all those potential 2 2s it's not the time to and at least 1st year is not counted and you dunneed to look for a job yay me

Now the two biggest asswhoop papers are over, NEW TROUBLES ARE AHEAD. I am so screwed haha I haven't touched ILS or property or obligations in like ages.

Shit I feel like exams are over already.

I dun wanna study for ILS tomorroooow oh no

Cannot cannot cannot

STUDY

Half the battle has been won. Or in yijun's words, lost ): zz.

p.s. I can't believe they're gna give us our results back on 23rd june like wth there isn't even time to recover from the trauma from the exams. LSE I hate you.

Monday, May 17, 2010

7:16 PM

Oh fuuuck my life I don't wanna do this anymore oh my god

and it's only been one exam there's still 4 more

OKAY NO TIME TO WHINE I ONLY HAVE 5 HOURS TO STUDY PUBLIC. Which is fucking insane THANKS EXAMINERS I LOVE YOU GUYS TOO.

This is warrrrrr no time for emotions

6:45 PM

SO SCREWED WTF OMG

Sunday, May 16, 2010

4:27 PM

Oh dearest most revered crim law examiners,

please please please take pity on me. I am a poor broken soul in need of your mercy.

please give an attempts question on the 2009 law commission proposals. MUST.

please ask the question 'are our current justifications for criminalising drugs adequate'? Just like you have in the past few years.

please don't give a guailan question on acts and omissions and stick to the easily answered kinds.

please ask your usual strict liability questions and don't test anything on r v g cos I hate it.

please be nice and give an easy corporate homicide question. please!

and please please please test fraud and theft together in problem questions and not mix it with other stuff I haven't learnt.

or you could test homicide and OAPA together I also won't mind.

IF YOU FULFILL JUST 4 OF THOSE REQUESTS I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL

I will adorn your cheeks with many kisses and write songs about your magnanimity that would go down for generations.

OMG.

9:11 PM

I am torn between wanting the exams to come on NOW and for it never ever never ever to arrive.

This is terrifying and exciting (not in a very good way) and horrible. I am so unprepared. No matter how hard I try, I still cannot write an complete and coherent essay in 45mins, much less 4 in 3 hours, 4 times in a week. But I don't think I care anymore because I just want it to be OVER. Just as much as I want it never to happen because I think I'll be traumatised and scarred for life. Ahhh.

1 more day. Zomg.

Friday, May 14, 2010

2:05 AM

I just realised that no matter how smart you are, you really will never be able to get a grasp of law, because in truth there is no right answer and even the courts are bloody confused themselves.

Spent the entire day with yj being confused and debating over public law concepts and even now I think we're still damn confused because law is so confusing I hate law ): <

Okay no actually I think public law is very interesting haha BUT not when you have to attempt an exam on it. zz.

I am so deaddd I dun wanna do exams I dun wanna faillllll

In other news I lost another inch off my waist. Don't think I've been this skinny since sec1 or 2. Whee I am literally disappearing into nothingnesss

Thursday, May 13, 2010

9:35 PM

I miss being able to roam the streets at night.

And I especially miss the fact that it'd be bustling outside at 9.30 and not dead quiet like it is now, just when I need to take a walk to clear my saturated brains, and that the shops will be open so I can buy another cup of coffee which I sorely sorely need.

1:53 PM

I wonder when judges issue their judgments if they go back and read it only to find out damn, they missed out this really good point, and then they wait impatiently for the next similar case to come out just so they can elaborate on that point again? It's like those situations when it's your chance to come up with some witty retort and your mind blanks and you say something lame, but when replaying the incident again in your head later that day you manage to think of something ingenious and you can't wait for a chance to use it. Just that most of the times, such a chance never comes, but judges get it good cos similar cases always come up. And I'm obviously rambling. Lol.

But anyway it seems like judges don't actually give a damn about the actual case do they. The case is just a platform for them to give their opinions and criticisms about how the law should be, half the time the important dicta doesn't even have to do with the facts. If I were the appellants I'd feel so awfully made use of. Like, omg I paid millions of pounds in lawyer fees just to give you a chance to sound intellectual.

Sigh when will this torture endddd

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

4:22 PM

How I wish I could just not have to think. About implications, reasons, justifications, merits and disadvantages, criticisms, most of which are bullshit and give me a headache now.

I just want to spend an entire, peaceful, sunny day with a blank mind, where things are what you see on the surface and has no deeper meaning than that.

2 weeks cannot come soon enough.

Sunday, May 09, 2010

5:54 PM

Omagawd vainly trying to answer property questions isn't killing me fast enough someone finish the job PLEASE

The worst thing is that I dun even know if I'm understanding the bloody arguments correctly, so I dunno if I'm giving the correct answer. For all I know I might be entirely and absolutely wrong, which would mean every single thing I'm doing now is utter crap, BUT WILL I KNOW? NO. Until my results come back.

Also, I got so bored that I went to ebay and started looking at disney princess watches. Because they are cheap on ebay and I need a watch. Do you think having a hotpink disney princess watch on my table would distract other people enough to not do their essays? Though it wouldn't make a difference, since there's no moderation (life sucks). But well it'd be nice for everyone to do as badly as me (: suffer together and the suffering won't be as bad! Hoho I am a bitch yes kill me now.

Saturday, May 08, 2010

1:13 PM

HMM.

It just hit me that I might not have studied enough to answer 4 questions per paper in the exams, especially if the right topics don't come out. As in, if my topic spotting goes well I am in safe hands, but if the examiners decided to be guailan haha I AM SO SCREWED.

I hate this whole spotting thing such a useless exam technique

12:45 AM

Ooh first ever hung parliament in 36 years. exciting.

apparently theres a huge hype about this somewhere outside the comforts of my bedroom haha. okay cool public law in action but too bad I have no idea what use it will be for my public law exams since I'm not haps enough to do questions about the british parliament system D: but eee is the tories the one spewing crap about the human rights act how come they won D:

haha I shall not pretend like I know anything about the tories or labour party cos I don't really give a damn. I can only remember robertcraig being very excited about it during class but sadly I dunno why D: so DISCARD KNOWLEDGE.

Friday, May 07, 2010

8:39 PM

hee hee heeeee.

too much coffee and muttering to myself I love having the room to myself (: this is obviously contradictory to my previous claims that I cannot be left alone, but THAT IS JUST LIFE as according to the lousy legal system full of rules and judgments which like to contradict each other.

this is how to answer the question 'the principles of causation guiding the relations between jiening's moods and her circumstances are a mess. discuss. 25m':

1. the general rule: that jiening will be angsty when left alone and happy when surrounded with friends.

2. HOWEVER, this rule while seemingly true in most circumstances is actually riddled with exceptions: in a recent case on 6th may where she was studying with 8 friends, she was still super angsty-- discuss possible reasons for the departure from the general rule (e.g. cannot do a single shit question on causation for tort)

3. FURTHERMORE, the most recent instance of 7th may shows that she is perfectly happy being cooped up in her room, drinking starbucks twice in the day and surviving on instant noodles-- discuss possible reasons for the departure (e.g. um. I dunno.)

4. In light of these obvious contradictions, does the general rule still stand, OR IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH???-- (e.g. HORMONES--> cite the knowledgeable academic on jiening's moods, joelong, who upon observing that she can spend a whole night sobbing over her wallet one day and be bright and cheery as if nothing happened the next, and then go back to being grouchy on the third, found good reason in making this inference)

5. Should there even be a principled approach, or should the law on jiening's moods regress back to recognising individual instances of 'moody' and 'cheery'??

6. CONCLUDE blah blah.

(: okay I am too bored omg. I am so lame. 9 more days D: dies

2:45 PM

bloody helll I keep whacking the toes of my rightfoot against stuff these days it's freaking painful maybe they're fractured already zomg D:

Thursday, May 06, 2010

10:31 PM

zz my moods nowadays is like a ROLLERCOASTER. A crazy freaking mad ride of ups and downs alternating from day-to-day. One day I'm super happy. The next day I'm totally down in the dumps. The next day I feel like I can do anything. Then life becomes bleak and hopeless. zz.

TODAY IS SUCH A BLEAK AND HOPELESS DAY. I'm going to faillll I really don't wanna do badly but it seems so inevitable ): I KNOW everything, but I can't seem to structure a proper answer neverthelesssss it's so depressing.

Sigh.

It's okay that means that tomorrow will be a good day. It will be a good day.

Wednesday, May 05, 2010

2:23 PM

Ahhhh.

Sigh okay. EXAMS EXAMS focus on exams ):

Spent last night being damn angsty already I shall just forget about my wallet. Spent the entire morning retracing my path with berns and I couldn't find it ): sigh. Surprisingly I managed to report everything pretty fast though. My new LSE ID will be done tomorrow, my bank card next week. And I told my daddy expecting him to be pissed about my IC and debit card and woah his reaction is so mild it's surprising. It was a 'small matter don't worry about it we'll deal with it' and 'health and safety more important'. Must be because of exams, exams I love you.

zz thankgoodness for sympathetic friends I love you all too.

OKAY EXAMS.

12:51 AM

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

GOD, WHY?

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

11:49 PM

FUCK MY LIFE

I CAN'T FUCKING FIND MY WALLET

MY WHOLE LIFE IS IN IT

60POUNDS CASH. MY SG ID. MY LSE ID. MY UK DEBIT CARD. MY SG DEBIT CARD. MY OYSTER CARD. MY STARBUCKS CARD. OMG. OMFG. WTF. WHATTTT THE FUUUUCK

TODAY IS NOT A GOOD DAY.

9:32 PM

OKAY JIENING THIS IS IT.

There is absolutely no time for you to moodswing now! Life does not suck. Life is not bleak. You are not a loser (zz okay you are).

AND STOP TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM DUTY OF CARE IT'S GOING TO CHASE YOU DOWN

Okay friends please study hard for all your exams.

Monday, May 03, 2010

4:28 PM

AHHH I WANT TO SHOP. SO. BAD.

11:31 AM

I am up too early because I couldn't work late last night, and my god am I addicted to coffee.

I am so stoned without it.

I need my starbucks.

When is yijun gonna wake D:

Saturday, May 01, 2010

10:05 PM

I'm sure there's some fundamental human rights that are being breached right now by making us study so hard. Like art5 right to liberty or art3 prohibition of torture. Or omg art4 prohibition of slavery WE SHOULD NOT BE SLAVES OF OUR STUDIES.

Or maybe the courts would imply some term into our contract with LSE that it should take reasonable care not to set tough exam syllabi that would make us work 88 hours a week like Johnstone v Bloomsbury

omg I am so so so so so SCREWED why was I so carefree and slack in the earlier parts of easter WHY

3:36 PM

I can hear someone playing the piano from my hall dining room. I suddenly want to play the piano too ):

1:15 AM

I was just about to start the dreary lousy tedious task of improving my HRA notes and adding in the extra teacher comments--> then I opened up my document and realised I already did it a few weeks ago! The first thought that came to my mind was: OMG I LOVE MYSELF.

Yes, this is a sign that I should be more hardworking and be more up to date in my daily work next year. If the present jiening suffers, the future jiening will reap her benefits. That's the way it workszzz.

Btw there's something very satisfying about borrowing books in the LSE library-- the library is awesome. It has every single journal in the world, old new big small ugly pretty whatever. I love borrowing all of them and feeling like I have in my hands the ENTIRE COLLECTION OF INFORMATION IN THE WORLD, even though 90% of the time end up not reading them cos no time and energy haha. I love having to search through many many racks and think of various places elusive books can lie-- the joy you get from actually discovering that lousy book is indescribable. For example, I just managed to find this thin tattered law journal off a very random books return rack I randomly decided to scour! OH THE JOY.

Okay obviously I have been in the library too long, and have eaten too many sweets/ drunk too much coffee. Haha!

p.s. I want to eat passionfruit cheesecake ): where to find?! OMG princi has but princi is in soho that's so far away ): and starbucks' peach and raspberry muffin! Looks soo goood. I must eat it one day.
