WEEK 20

I made it guy's!
 Last week of lectures, yet another stressful week .
I think i stopped caring at week 19, i physically, emotionally and mentally drained. Ditched  some lectures, walked out of others, had to talk myself into getting out of bed some times but you guy's have no idea how it feels to be in the last week of Law School Lectures.

Law school itself is not over but no more sitting in the auditorium for hours,waiting for break and praying for lectures to end for the day
No more holding my breathe when the lecture starts calling out student number's because I didn't read the topic or attend group meeting the night before.
No more driving like a manic in traffic when I wake up late in order to get in before 9am.
No more smelly toilets.


Well no more until we return from externship in July.
The lecturers were great, even though I hated their approach they had one goal and that was for us to pass, they tried their best to deliver the topics and beat them into our heads until they felt most of us understood.

Class has been empty since Monday, a lot a people stopped caring and all they wanted was to go home. They started giving out ID cards on Monday although I'm yet to receive mine patiently waiting for the madness to die down. I got my medical card which givesme free treatment all over the states in certain hospitals, so they said.

Thursday
I also got my log books for my court and chamber externship to be filled everyday of the placement and ready for portfolio assessment when we return in July.
Benchers forms were also given out to be filled by two members of the body of benchers. One was given to each student so you have to guard it with your life.

Friday
We got out student handbook for each course. The handbooks are a summary of each course and I'm guessing they didn't give them out at the start because students would ditch lectures and also rely on the contents without reading other texts.
I submitted my complaint form for the externship and i'm hoping to hear back in a few days.
We had the end of term cocktail on the lawn, food, live band , a lot of people dressed in traditional attires.
Two weeks break for externship starts, I hope to get a lot of work done during the break, catch up on sleep and work out.
Module two for the ADR course is scheduled for tomorrow and the exam on Sunday.

That's all for now.

HOLIDAYS.

Hi guys, So I've been in Lagos for the last three weeks and it has been nothing but chaos, I was very excited for this holiday but everything seems to be going out of control and I scared of the consequences of my actions.  As usual, I have a lot of ideas about what to do in my head, I had plans to write a lot more since my stories are mostly written about Nigerian characters and the cities I've visited in the country. I wanted to update my cv in order to start looking for a new job when I get back to Dublin, I also wanted to learn how to use excel properly and also learn other tools that will make my job search easier and increase of getting a better job.

ESCAPE

"God will punish you', I shouted as I tried to chase the man who robbed me" "E no go better for you ', I am fighting a battle I know I’m not going to win, but I hate being cheated, I settled on the train tracks to catch my breath, a few minutes before the train passes. A small crowd  gathered the nosy bastards who have nothing better to do on a Monday morning, I look up from after a few minutes, I have no choice, a pair of over-bleached feet appeared beside me. The sight of someone's skin bearing a striking resemblance to over roasted plantain nearly made me regurgitate the contents of my stomach. "How far now? she asked putting her hands on my waist.

COURT EXTERNSHIP : Entry 1

I had plans for the two weeks break, had it all planned out in my head, study, work out, stay the F away from carbs and sugar. All I did was sleep, eat carbs and stock up on sugar, I feel like a failure, well not entirely but I'm the real definition of a waste man, Didn't realize how tired I was until I started taking naps during the day yet not finding it difficult to sleep at night. We started our externship . Yay! My posting got changed to Igbosere, got the email while I was in Ikeja High Court, I love criminal litigation, practicing in Nigeria doesn't look that bad. The Judge heard 16 cases, some which were for arraignment but the accused person's did not show up. It's a complete different ball game, been there watching everything we were thought in class being put into practice . Commercial is not as exciting as criminal but , I like the court. The judge hears cases on Land, landlord and tenant, general civil.  breach of contract and some corporate issues...
