A fresh start

I’m fairly certain I have ADD…. I can’t seem to choose one degree and stick to it…. I think it’s mainly because post-grad law is where my passion truly lies. I guess I should explain!

I’ve now transferred to Commerce (still at Melbourne Uni), so Im starting over as a first-year…. again! I’ve always known I wanted to do post-grad law, it was just I couldn’t decide what to do in-between. I loved Arts, LOVED it. But I couldn’t help but think how unrealistic career prospects were for a double language major, and the other majors for Arts really did not interest me in the slightest. So I’m officially a first-year Commerce student. I didn’t apply for any credits because doing a double major (accounting/finance) in Commerce means I only have room for 4 breadth subjects and I wanted 3 to finish my French minor.

I see now where all of the student contributed money goes. The Spot and the ICT library (opposite the Law Building) are kind of amazing. I’d recommend everybody check out the new ICT library; luxurious is a word that springs to mind. They still haven’t fixed UniWireless (the campus’ Wi-Fi) though, it works on occasion (to say the least). How pointless is a library with so many power points that doesn’t even have a functioning Internet connection.

It’s only second week and I already feel like I’m behind in my reading. I thought there were a lot of readings for Arts!! I was clearly kidding myself. Though in Arts, the readings are required, in Commerce they’re “recommended”. The Oxfam Group I’m a part of also has a lot of exciting upcoming events. We’re doing a stall for Fair Trade and Anti-Poverty Week (in conjunction with other university groups). It’s pretty exciting, so expect to see it sometime around September.

For the moment, though, I need to catch-up on some Methods reading. Until next time!

P.S. Hope you’re all enjoying this amazing early Spring weather.
