Heyo everyone! It's Week 6 now..wow!
So I had a reality check today...I thought things were going alright at uni and then today hit me and 'Bleugh...', that is all I have to say! Not that I am just judging it from everything I write here...guess it is just building up...
So, it all started at 10am today! First contracts tute ever...I was excited, well, not really! Saw ajit driving into uni, on a random note!
Anyways, you would think that you walk into a tutorial and have this 'friendship/meeting new people' type atmosphere going on (well that is what happens in Arts tutes and it is fantastic that way). Usually, there is an icebreaker where you introduce the person next to you or tell the rest of the tute who are you are etc.
NONE OF THAT...in the Contracts Tute! Yes, we have 'too much' to cover but still...!
When you walk into a law tute, it's more like 'I am really not your friend, even though I am going to pretend to be your friend, I just want those tutorial participation marks and I'm going to get them over you..because I am going to speak more than you...!'
Seriously, the atmosphere in one of those tutes is like an exam room. Everyone is being evaluated and everyone, even if it is deep down, is going 'I am better than you'. And if you actually don't do the tute work for law...you're stuffed!
Well I have had my rant about law tutes. Guess I have to get used to it considering I have 5 years (including this year) ahead of me! Oh well, I still have Arts to keep me sane=)
And I am not the only person who thinks these are the way these tutes operate. Seriously, you can apply the Objective Person test for all I care and the random person sitting in on the tute would think the same!
Had my ILR (Intro to Legal Reasoning) test today, it was 'meh' but I am glad to get it over and done with! Now to focus on the Court report and actually get going on it.
In conclusion, I need to get organised, time to organised..let's go!

P.S: You know when someone tells you a bad habit that someone has that you never noticed before until then. Something just goes 'click'/'glass shattering' moment, in your mind and you cannot stop noticing it! It's actually true.....HIMYM=P haha

Right, been at uni for a year and a bit now. Not once in this past year has there ever been a "Hello class! This is this class, and you should all say hello to your neighbor and talk for twenty minutes to get to know each other"
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just engineering, maybe it's RMIT... I donno...
Either way, I'm sorta glad they don't make me do it. If I need to know someones name, then I'll find out when we have to work together. I don't enjoy being forced to social-life...
*shrug* Maybe everyone is different...
i absolutely agree with the contract tute!! haha. and it was damn funny with the objective person test. LOL.
