I am worthy of your praise - i stayed awake through all four straight hours of lectures that i had this morning. Despite boring content and the early hour. A major achievement!! I'm rather proud of myself. Granted, i survived with the help of a skinny cap and an RSPCA cupcake (yummy).

Now that i'm home, i'm attempting to study. I promise, i'll be productive tonight...

One hour of lectures today was presented by a guest lecturer from an important SA law firm. He was kind enough to grant us an hour of his time (free! - a saving of $575) and teach us about the important aspects of drafting for clients. While the content he discussed was mainly common sense, his manner and attitude were relaxed, cheerful and clear, making him far less boring than many of the people who stand infront of a few hundred students and preach the importance of conveying a message effectively. At the close of the lecture, i was happy to find that i'm somewhat looking forward to drafting letters; manipulating language to create the most appropriate way of communicating appeals to me. Perhaps i'll end up in a legal career that allows me to do this. Or perhaps i will graduate and go on to complete a masters in Creative Writing, where i'd get to learn about writing full time! Sounds pretty fun to me...

Finally, a lecture that left me almost inspired, rather than bored and half asleep. Yes!
