time spares no man (or woman)

12.05pm, Sunday afternoon.
16th March, 2008.

49 days to exams.

I know I'm in a lot more trouble than I'm telling myself I am.

I know I do not have enough time, despite my incessant ability to tell myself: "Don't worry, still got time ..."

Law school is a game of numbers.

I know I have four subjects to study before the 4th of May, one 6-page Writing Credit essay to complete before the 16th of April, and three Constitutional Law essays to write before the end of April.

And within those four subjects to study, I have nine topics for Land Law, eight topics for Equity and Trusts, ten topics for Constitutional and Administrative Law, and twelve topics for International Law.

With about forty days left to exams, I still have to study - from scratch - five topics for Land Law, five topics for Equity and Trusts, ten topics for Constitutional and Administrative Law, and nine topics for International Law.

Even worse than that, I don't seem to remember the stuff I studied from the topics I actually have studied. The horror!

I do know, however, that I've worked a lot harder for Year 2 than I did for Year 1. And yet ... "a lot harder" doesn't seem to be enough.

I simply ... must ... persevere.

And if I can come out from this alive and well - well, it'll be something to be proud of. :)
