The Last Day.

This is officially my final day as a Year 2. I hope that I emerge unscathed from the recent exams. They were tough and I hadda pull 5 harrowing all-nighters to compensate for my year of laziness. We will know if my this pays off in a month. Then again, although the results matter, my year 2 experience does not turn on this single event. I must say that on the whole, I am pleased.

On Intelligence.

The smartest people I know always manage to find the simplest solution to every problem. This is truly an art I must say. It can be a surprising paradox that such people are rather complex in nature. But these folk are like that out of necessity, not foolishness nor ignorance.

Creating Something Out of Nothing.

The title of this entry is often elusive and most people, including myself, belief that it is a myth. But let us put that on hold for a while. Sometimes, all we can do is but hope. For a start, I hope that I can retain at least 90% of whatever I study. I find that a pretty incredulous task to undertake because I lack familiarity with the law. There are two reasons why. First, I dodged school for an entire year and devoted little time to my work. Next, even when I studied, I never actually put in much effort in attempting to grasp and remember the relevant literature. Consequently, I find myself learning nearly everything from scratch again. Grrr why must law be so tough? On my brain at least.

Maybe I would be much better off with an extra brain. I desperately need the extra ram and perhaps a duo-core to cope with this information overload. With 3 demanding exams subsisting over a span of 4 days next week, my pornographic memory had better not act up man. As much as I've mentioned about hope, it ends here because I know that our brains can operate beyond the limits of a computer. Our capabilities extend beyond mere regurgitation and learning from trial and error. Let us summon creativity and our analytical prowess to save the day, save ourselves. Let our ability to critically judge not fail us, for it could even plague the most knowledgeable of us.

If I get it right this once, I will redeem myself for the months of pure laziness all at once. I shall do my best to make this miracle a reality and score a last minute salvaging goal- just like John Arne Riise. No time for regrets but double time work.

Paradiso.

I am sure that everyone has their own version of paradise. Right now, chilling on a lazy afternoon with a couple of beers would suffice. I don't need no deckchair nor swimming pool. Damn, it's only been a short period of slogging and I'm already suffering from slacking withdrawal symptoms.

The Prayer.

Once again, I find myself holding out for a miracle. The exams are drawing nigh and I have so much more to learn, let alone effectively apply my knowledge. Perhaps I've been too foolish to pursue the path of law, especially when its relevant qualities clearly aren't my strengths. Moreover, I was lazy. Nevertheless, I am already stuck in this rut. I will haul myself out of it with every ounce of determination. Above all, I believe that the grace of God will see me through. This belief, although elusive to some, is not unfounded to me. If God didn't compensate my inadequacies with his grace, I would never have had the chance to study law in the first place.
