When people asked me about what course am I taking currently and I told them I’m taking law, there’re generally 3 types of respond I got from them:

(1) HAH! Why?

(2) OMG!

(3) I Can’t Believe It!!??

Great, I’m being discriminated alienated even before i know anything about law. How can i sue them?

Their reasoning being: law is very hard… law is very specific… law is very… very… and keep on asking more why(s)… my answer to them would be because my surname is Low (pronounced as Law). It’s that easy.

But I must admit that they’re right… As you can see, being a law student aren’t easy… It’s pretty stressful if you look at it. I’ve personally seen a law student studying her own notes, textbooks and referencing materials 24/7, before the food arrives in a meal, when sitting on a car ride, during the 5 seconds break between conversations… (ok… the 5 seconds might be extravagating, but it’s around there)… i mean… she’s having her books and notes everywhere! (YES, I’m talking about you, Leen) Well, it’s not a bad thing after all, proven by her 1st class honour… Nevertheless, law student need to bare the stress in a more intense way…

Knowing what’s coming through the next 11 months of my life, it does worries me whether am i able to cope with all these… “Am I able to understand what the lecturer going to say?” “What happened if I don’t understand certain area?” “How am I going to express my answer during exams with a pen instead of a keyboard?”…

But, one thing’s for sure. I’m pretty glad that the batch of my intake are nice batch of people, which are not those who makes little interactions and only know how to study. It’s considered very good to have found ourselves knowing each other already, and even going for class outing on our second week!

Having friends besides you during a war is vital factor of winning the war. And we’re going to win the war called final exam together! ^^

Speaking of exam, our course is 80% exam based, meaning that the faith of passing or failing will be dependent on THAT SINGLE paper, unlike what we had in HMC, where marks are accumulated. GOSH! This is one real exam! It’s going to take very high discipline and many hardwork and effort as well to score this.

Back to the classrooms, lecturers are generally pretty cool. Unlike the old style teacher we found in our PMR days, they’re actually very mind triggering, fun to be with, and most important of all, they’re YOUNG! That means no generation gap! =D But this doesn’t means that we’re going to get away with all the sms language or smileys we wrote onto our assignments. They’re pretty strict in terms of punctuality, conduct in class etc. I figured i need to invest onto something that would guarantees me a better law student, or even a better person in the future.

Hence, i dumped RM40 into a very, very valuable investment…

invest in an old style alarm clock is a must for big fan of sleeping =D like me!
