So, here is the story! I was driving home from le movies after a night watching 'Mall Cop', some bits were funny, some were not! I would rent it out on DVD if I were you.
Anyways, my kind old radio in the car decided to play another song that I have not heard in a VERY long time=P Why are you trying to remind of the past silly music? Silly silly music=P Your attempts are feeble...! mwa haha!
Again, I am tired, shutup...I get my writing inspiration when I am tired=P Otherwise, there would not be any posts on this blog!
So, I said that last time my iPod decided to play 'Blind' by Lifehouse out of 450 something songs it could have played, while I was at Richmond station contemplating. Now my silly radio decides to join in by playing, let's call it 'That song', by The Veronicas. This is not on my iPod...I'm not that sad. Anyhoo, I had a good laugh and went 'Wtf...the context was very different last time we met hahahaha'=P Well, I didn't say that out loud because that would be sad.
Anyhoo, that's my 'evil past music is trying to follow me' story=P
Onto more recent matters. I hate choices but you have to make them don't you? If you cannot make them...wing it!
Contracts Assignment=10%+ Time OR 90% exam? Fun OR extremely nice and caring? More on that later! Quick breakfast OR slow breakfast=P Confrontation OR no confrontation? Foe OR Friend? Complication OR Silence? (Consideration tells me silence does not work=P) Ready OR not ready? Sincere OR not sincere? Truth OR lies?
And here's the life message=P Life is filled with lots of choices and lots of 'this or that' moments and you have to work out what is right! Trouvez une equilibre.
However, if you cannot process it all, comme moi, wing it;) If there is another thing I have learnt...nothing happens if you meddle/intervene. Things just happen.....;) lalalalala
So my brain cannot process these OR's at the moment so winging it is the best option comme j'ai deja dit.....;)!
Anyways, Ciao...I have a translation test tomorrow! Bleugh!

P.S: Thanks to those who read this. I know some of you do!=P

Bffl?
Wow, 2 blog posts in 2 days=P
So I just got home from le centre ville and my kind little Ipod decided to play a song that I have not heard in a VERY long time! This was because I was stuck at Richmond station for 20 extra minutes at like 11ish! Anyways, it made me start thinking...hmm, I wonder if I am exactly the same as I was back then or I wonder how much has 'actually' changed? The short answer is NO and it is really amazing when you look back at it and see how much you have grown and learnt as a person=) Cheesy, I know but oh well and hey I had a spare 20mins=P
By the way that song was 'Blind' by Lifehouse=P Significance? It was significant in my life before, but now it is just a passing memory. A small little speck that you acknowledge but look past=)
Anyways, this lead me to further contemplation. When you tell someone they are your bffl or vice versa DO NOT do it unless you really mean it because, let's face it, circumstances change and what you said before will not carry into the immediate future. Really, really, at the bottom of your heart, mean it! I don't know why I just mentioned that, guess I am just tired=P I could go into this more...NAH=P haha C'est le conseil de Nick pour ce soir;)
Wow, I talk about the past too much! So FUTURE time haha! Took a much needed break tonight from work that is still bogging me down=D Headed out to the city=) Did not actually see the effects of Earth Hour much...
What else? Looking forward to the Easter break coming up which will give me more of an opportunity to catch up with my good mates=) Also, handed in my application form for this volunteer thing (I wonder if I'll get it?) Well I'm up against 150-200 applications apparently!
I hope you guys are all well..., not many people read this so to all those who do read it...hope you are awesome!

Certainty
So I had this realization last night at about 12ish....=P Well, it was not really a realization. Just a thought or inkling or whatever. And, I like my law analogies.
*Now for the boring bit*
Anyways, you know when you have a contract.
One of the essential elements is 'Certainty'. Now, courts will not enforce a contract between parties if the terms of a contract are not clear and certain for all parties. ie: you cannot go 'I will buy this house from you for around $300 000 to $500 000 and I might throw in something extra, as consideration, if I'm nice, but I do not know what?'
Now courts have the power to SEVER a term from a contract if the contract can still function in its entirety without the term. This is just an 1/16 of Certainty. There are exceptions but we do not need to go into those!
Now, if the only things you picked up were 'Sever' and 'still function', you have done a fantastic job! And you have learnt some law=P
And if that made no sense to you whatsoever, just look at some status updates on facebook as 'some people' have status' that like being ambiguous ......And some people, have blogs that are partially 'ambiguous' but you can pick up their 'true' meaning.
Anyways, I am off on my tangential spiral down to nothingness!
Finally taking a break from all this work tonight and heading into town=D
Oh and finally, 'Eh, eh, there's nothing else I can say.....' It feels alot like that sometimes....
Nick=)
P.S: 'Effort'.......c'est un concept tres simple yet.....

Sick of it!!
I know no one reads this so I feel like having a rant!=P An annoyed rant=P
You know, there comes a time in your life, or multiple times, where you're like 'Why do I bother with something...?' You have to constantly and consistently ask yourself, 'Hmm, I wonder if I'm doing the right thing..?' And quite frankly, you move a step forward and it just feels like you keep getting knocked back so in the end, it essentially leaves you disheartened to do anything else or want to do anything else, even though you try.
And when you end up doing something 'nice' or 'good' or even 'horrible' it ends up being 'Why am I doing this/Why do i bother...?' I now see the viewpoint that some people in the police force take. That you do something important, trying to do good, but hardly get recognised. Now in a hypothetical situation Party B would not understand no matter how much you emphasise this point. But then again, Party A 'might or might not' see the viewpoint of Party B. Or chooses to see 'other things' instead of the main thing. Or is just plain selfish? I don't know, and I'm not going to read into it! In the end, I guess you just stick with it hoping to break out of this stupid stupid cycle of doom....!! Well it is not that severe...it just a horrible cycle which likes to repeat itself CONSTANTLY...
By the way, this has nothing to do about choosing Law. It's fun=)
'A Peppercorn can buy the world...' Mark Davison
And yes it can, if you play your cards through 'consideration' correctly!
Seriously this guy is an awesome lecturer! I haven't found anyone else as entertaining yet. Mind you my French culture person seems to be terribly interested in Prostitution in Paris in the 19th century. Today, I learnt that the lights (a symbol of the vibrance of Paris) of the street, illuminated the prostitutes so you could see them better...I'm still questioning why I am doing this subject?
Anyways, I've had my rant! Moving on...Life is good! Catching up occasionally with the people who you really care about makes a massive difference. Whether they know it or not. Seriously, there is mountains of reading to be done on Consideration, Intention, Certainty and so forth but you really come to appreciate the time you get off/the times you can just let your brain wonder. Like now, hence why I wrote the first bit....because I have let my brain wonder into the abyss of thinking and that is not a good place to be.....
I'm tired....so nightsky! Too much thinking for 1 night...=P

Behind
I knew this day would come...! I cannot believe that it is Week 3 already=O
As future Nick, now present Nick, I am already 2 weeks behind with stuff! A culmination of French, Law and International Studies haha! I really should not be laughing hey=P I still have to find that work/life balance=P I think the 'life' has been taking over the 'work' more! Mind you, I do not have a job either so I guess that gives me alot more time=D
Anyways, what else has been happening since my last post? I went off to Law Camp. "F*** you I do law..." Enough said. Haha, that was our anthem! It's on my facebook.
The 'mildly' censored version of the chorus=P
"So F*** you I do law"
"So what the F*** are you looking at me for?"
"I'm a wanker, I'm a prick but at least I'm not so thick"
"Sooo....F*** you i do law"
It goes on with "I have a private education etc. etc." How pretentious=P I wonder when I'll be wearing a collared shirt everyday haha=P I probably won't, so don't worry.
But, overall I'm enjoying law! It is interesting! Especially when your Contracts lecturer, Davison, makes up his 'Vegemite Sandwich Doctrine' and does Tai Chi to demonstrate a dispute about Tai Chi=P What was it? Patting the bird and Opening the door? I don't even remember the case, just the Tai Chi=P
*Stop reading here if you do not want to hear about contract law, if you are interested, by all means, go ahead*
All to make us understand the two essential elements of Consideration, which is one of the four essential elements of a contract, (that the offeror has suffered a detriment/the offeree has conferred a benefit and a bargain)
*Start reading again*
Anyways, I should head off to bed. I have that '5hours of straight classes tomorrow'...yay?
Goodnight/Bonne Nuit!
Nico
P.S: Prostitution is a symbol of disorder (it represents female uprising) and the "Bon Marche' in France was a giant sex symbol in the 19th century. Oh, and that Mouret (the manager), "The Seducer", is obsessed with showing off his virility through this shopping centre. It's a giant "dream machine" where "sensuality is crossed with shopping".
That is the extent of what we have learnt in French Culture this year. Why am I doing this subject....? I don't know=P Maybe because I get my minor at the end of this year for Francais=D

Something just doesn't feel right!
Do you know that feeling you get when something just does not feel right at all? Well, I am the complete opposite! Should I go with what I am thinking? Hmm, I do not know...haha!
What a riddle? I will tell some of you later...;)!
Anyways, Uni is awesome! It has been a blast so far. Mind you, I need to get working on some work for this week.
Monday night, I 'tried/attempted' to get some work done. Reading Gibson v Manchester City Council becomes extremely dull after a while. Carlill is more exciting, although I do find it ironic that she ended up dieing of influenza in the end, after she sued the smoke ball company for 100 pounds for catching influenza in the first place. Fun fact from Davis (contracts lecturer: he loves that metaphor of the trees and the forest)
Tuesday night was a good night=) After, my busy 5 hour straight day, headed back to Nando's to say goodbye to my 'I make the chicks hot' t-shirt and all the rest of my uniform=)
Then headed out to dinner and a movie (Last Chance Harvey, c'est pas mal). Dammit, you beat me at bowling AND air hockey TWICE=P Anyways, once again, I did not get any work done when I went home.
Wednesday night was the ILSA trivia night. We came last=P Honestly, with answers like "Who won the booker prize (or something) last year in literature" and putting "The Yellow pages" (Go team=P) was a recipe for disaster. However, free pizza and chips are always good. I have to say that the LLS is 'more fun' than the ILSA. I guess it is the more serious society.'
Tonight, I WILL get some work done *fingers crossed*.
Other than that, uni during the day has been awesome. Met some awesome people too! Seriously, everyone is really nice at Monash. I think I have finally grown out of the 'Oh my god, I am sitting in a lecture where I don't know anyone' phase=P Mind you, I did get taken along to a 'Beginner Spanish' tutorial yesterday. It was fantastic. Thankfully, the tutor did not notice that I "was not" doing Spanish. Haha! Me llamo Nick. Como estas? Hasta lavista and Muchos Gusto=P
And with that, I will bid you 'au revoir' (French 5 is extremely difficult!) AND LAW CAMP TOMORROW! Booyah!
Stay cool,
Nick

"I am a ghost" (New Start to the year)
Wow,
I cannot believe Uni starts again tomorrow! Is it sad that I'm actually looking forward to it? As future Nick I am going to write "Oh my god, there is so much reading and assignments, I am going to die!" But, more on that in the future....=P
It's felt like oh so long, since I left the old hallowed (I don't think I should go that far in saying that=P) institution of Melbourne University.
Although, like I always say these days, "good times ahead!"
First class of the year is a French Lecture..yay? And then I've got a Contracts lecture and I'm done for the day. Although, I have a 3 hour gap in between. What to do? Hmm? Court report assignment...lame!
Finally I will end on this note, which is a excerpt from a letter...
"Dear Resident,
The time we spent together, however long it was, meant the world to me. I would love to see you again, but unfortunately, I cannot. You see, I am a ghost. I can only materialize once every decade, on the anniversary of my death."
Barney
From: www.tedmosbyisajerk.com
Whoever, came up with that (ie: put it in the script) is brilliant haha=P So if you ever want to ditch someone, use that! Well, it gave me a laugh! Wow, I must be really addicted to that show.
Anyways, signing off for now! Still need to get round to that 'Nerds and Jocks' costume. Does anyone have anything lol?
