What I’m doing for the next year or so…

Because it might be that long before you get another update 🙂

Summer: heading back to Hong Kong to help my dad translate his new textbook into English, then heading back to Melbourne to take two summer subjects (Legal Ethics, Evidence). In the meantime, rewriting the MSS constitution to take into account the changes post-VCA merger and drafting the official MSS submission to the VCAM discussion paper, planning a two-campus O-week 2010 (here’s to hoping that I don’t get lost at the VCA!), catching up on all the books I didn’t read during the year (what’s with the Twilight series’ popularity, I read Eclipse and it’s beyond awful), and writing my application for Institutions in International Law. A friend of mine will be doing Searching for the American Dream at the same time (which I believe blogger Georgie also did – you can read her account here), and we’re trying to figure out how to coordinate a joint travel trip despite the fact that she’ll be in the US and I’ll be in Geneva. Alas, the laws of space and time don’t seem to be working in our favour, although I’m still convinced we can do Asia if we buy crap enough flights to have really long stopovers 🙂

Enrolled in for semester 1 next year: International Law, Corporations Law, Music Language 2, and if I get in, Institutions, but if I don’t, the Ethnography of Music.

Enrolled in for semester 2 next year: Stravinsky and the Music of the 20th Century, Broadway and Music of the Theatre, International Human Rights Law, Remedies.

I’m reeling at the amount of elective in that. Other than Corporations, Remedies, and Music Language 2, it’s all my choice! That’s never happened in my degree before – how exciting! I’m expecting this courseplan to really change between now and March/August respectively – because it can! Ha! So that’s what it feels like to be an arts student…

Also, I’ll be the MJIL book reviews editor next year, so I’ve been spending a lot of time on Amazon and lots of various publisher’s lists looking for interesting books to send to academics for reviewing.

Exams went alright. Don’t know how I feel about the NTEU ban on releasing results to students.
