Ugh.
Exams start tomorrow. Wish me luck.

An interesting take on politics, with an engaging personal aspect, from the gorgeous Gianna.
Uncle strays from the ABC to the Fairfax broadsheets, but that doesn't help.
Liam Hogan is a Young Labor Left comrade. RWDBs are nothing compared with the real-life trolls of the NSW Right, so he's well equipped for the task.
Chris Clark is a Perth student and tech-obsessive.

No wonder you haven’t been posting that much lately. I was little bit worried for a minute there….
Good luck man. I am sure you will do fine.
Good luck!
You’ll enjoy the feeling one day when you realise this is the last exam you will ever have to sit in your life. Just don’t do what I do and get jack of it half way through and leave and grab a mate to go to the pub!
Ugh is right.
Good luck.
are we all asleep around here? Good God man this is a huge step in the diametric direction!
Good luck! Hope all goes well :)
Despite our differences, rest assured that Satan is on your side in your quest for academic enlightenment. Just remember to cheat. And if one of those Lefty, intellectual, professor toolbags give you any lip about it - punch ‘em in the head for me.
Get the behind me, Satan, and good luck to you, Rob. Go easy on the Sudafed.
Hope you are able to use your reading time wisely!
I won’t say good luck, ‘cause you won’t need it.
Just remember; No-Doz are your friend. ;)
May you get the results you deserve.
Thanks, all. First one was okay. Tomorrow is bioethics — the legal debate about harvesting organs from anancephalic infants, discrimination on the grounds of genetic predisposition towards certain medical conditions, and the implications of the concept of autonomy for doctor-patient trust. Fun fun fun.
As a future doctor, bioethics is one of my favourite fields of knowledge. Hope you do well, and tell me how not to get sued. Best wishes in this dark time.
Thanks, Max. I’m really enjoying bioethics, and it’s only a two-hour exam, so I should be fine!
Let us know how you went, Rob.
I must say your law degree sounds a lot more interesting than the tedious black letter stuff I had to confront when I was doing law.
I suspect its the arts component of his degree that has the bioethics exam!
Alas, the arts component was finished a year and a half ago. The unit is called “Bioethics and the Law”, and deals with issues like the risks doctors face when using pain killers that might “hasten the death” of a terminal patient, the law of tissue donation and whether there should be property in one’s body, genetic discrimination in employment and insurance, that sort of thing. Definitely more interesting than Commercial Practice or Civil Procedure!
Break a leg Robert. Ignore Guy! No doze - oy, memories. (Or not memories, as the case may be).
I used to do casual stocktaking, winding up counting cigarettes in a lot of roadhouses in odd places around Sydney. I was once given the good juice on No-Doz by a truckie with red nostrils and the shivers. “It’s for pussies, son.” He couldn’t get money out of his wallet without holding it against his chest to stop the shakes. Here endeth the lesson.
