getting there

its 10 days and counting and my essay deadline is coming closer like a shark on the horizon =s

current situation: one essay down, another well on its way (i can prolly finish it by tomoro but the third one...

I'M COMPLETELY LOST FOR WORDS!

literally.

its funny how i enjoy the module but am a complete wreck when it comes to writing an essay on it. i've still got time tho, and at this point i guess im more worried about meeting the deadline than getting a good grade. tho at the rate im reading up, i shud just be given credit for a marathon reading of all fitzpatrick's work.


if only all law books were like this..

i've even resorted to sleeping with the book, hoping some of the texts seeps thru my brain through osmosis. doesnt work, obviously, but it definite makes me feel calmer abt the essay. i think its because psychologically, i believe i am studying my essay in my sleep.

hey, watever works for me.

and i have a test on monday that i havent revised yet. but i shall be depending on my GOG to get me thru that.

i'm at that point towards the end of a term where i know essays are looming but i cant help but wish it came sooner so i can get home sooner. sigh. i so cant wait to be in brunei. i checked my itinerary again ystrdy and we're not gonna be on the new 777. the 777 is like a myth in rba to be honest. they keep talking abt it but it never ever comes. so we'll be doing the standard flight and stopping in dubai otw. i hope my tv works on the way home.

on an unrelated topic, i just found out a fren of mine had a baby girl 2 mths ago. its her second baby and she just turned 20 in october. a part of me is happy for her (because i know she's got a nice caring husband) but another part of me cant help but feel sorry that her chance at higher education had to stop at 15. i thought marriages at that age dont happen anymore, except for the usual crash boom bang story.

oh well, i wish her well. at 20, shes pretty much settled in her life. personally, i see education as the foundational ground for stability and security. so to my friends, however much i moan and whine and complain or say enthusiastically about how i wanna get married soon, how i wanna be a housewife, i still see my education as priority. never in my future plans did i say i'd quit my degree in order to be a faithful wife. i always say i wanted to be a 'housewife with a law degree'.

haha. but to each his (in this case, her) own, i guess. whatever makes people happy, watever floats their boat.


that'll be me in.. 2 years' time? hehe

and im getting there too, insyaAllah. as soon as the boyfren is settled with his job and we have enoufh ker-ching for a wedding. haha. i never said marriage plans had to be put on hold until after my degree. though at the rate im saving, i tink i'd have to wait until after my degree. unless i change the magnitude of my dream wedding.

hmm...

okay im supposed to be doing essays. not thinking abt kawin. wish me luck (about my essay-writing, altho luck for my marriage prospects are much appreciated!)


much love,
be'ah xxx
