    2nd Semester Week Eleven in Law School

    1.) I'm going through 7's withdrawal.  If you are wondering what this has to do with Law School, this is why...

    So, I marked on my calender ages ago that the PRC paper was due this past Thursday when in reality, it's due at 8:30 am on April 1st.  April 1st means 13 hours after the 7's end and Pema and I KNEW that we had to do the paper before the 7's start, otherwise we would be screwed.   Come Friday, March 30th, not one word started on this paper, and yet those Pimm's tasted so good and the fact that the Rugby players were so hot that we totally ditched the idea of staying home and working on the assignment.  Not only did I go to the 7's, I didn't even have enough self-discipline to stay home and start reading on Friday night!  Saturday came and gone and this time, I WAS discipline enough to stay home, only to be busy catching up on Scrubs episodes and reading anything I could find on www.onemanga.com.  Sunday came along and Pema and I decided to meet at 8:45am to get good South Stand seats AND to brainstorm our paper since we'd be early.  Once we sat down, we found out the U19 were playing and they were cute too!  Unfortunately, this means that we would not get anything work done... After jugs of Pimm's, Bad Vodka Redbull and chugging numerous glasses of beer in 30 degrees weather under the scorching hot sun, I was severely dehydrated, lost my voice, got sunburnt and was majorly hungover without ever getting drunk!  By the time I realized this, I had 12 hours to write the paper and was so hungover I couldn't eat or drink (yes, we hosted a dinner that night as well).  SOMEhow, I spat out those 3,000 words on Chinese Constitutional Law and pulled the most impressive all nighter I have ever done in my life.  At 8:30am yesterday morning, I had just handed in my assignment, and Pema and I were sitting at Mickey D's reminiscing about the weekend. As Pema puts it,

    "The whole day, I kept "seeing" men in blond wigs, rugby balls flying around and Tonto with his Kiwis out of the corner of my eye. In my head, 'Who let the dogs out...[RUFF, RUFF, RUFFRUFF RUFF]', '[ Heyyyyyiayaya...HOO HAH]...I wanna know[ooiiiooo]...will you be my girl', etc......... all day long. God is this what Sevens withdrawal is?"

    Yes Pema, this is 7's withdrawal, either that, or we were both delusional from lack of sleep because looking back, the Prof did seem to look marginally un-ugly yesterday, perhaps it's because I was "fishing" all morning in class...

    2nd Semester Week One in Law School

    1.) For convenience sake, I copied and pasted Pema's entry from Tuesday Jan 16, 2007.

    "Today, 2nd day of school.

    Me n Vicky signed up for this LLM course "International Trade Law". It's called INTERNATIONAL right?

    So we walk into the classroom at 6:20pm (the class is from 6:30-9:30) and everyone in the room looks like they're from mainland china, they're all speaking PTH. So me n Vicky feel really weird and we go the the bathroom hoping that when we come back, there will be other people there. No such luck.

    The professor then walks in and starts ranting in PTH. He asks if everyone understands...no one says no. Good! He continues to say that the class will be taught in PTH and that the textbook is in simplified chinese. Me n Vicky sit there stunned... staring at him with our mouths open. 

    The prof talks for an hour or so and then asks everyone to introduce themselves. Yep! Everyone in that room was from the mainland apart from me, Vicky, and two other old people. Vicky introduced us in English... that felt really weird. Then prof then asked us if we understood mandarin and we were both like "Ming Bai! Ming Bai!" HAHAHAHAH!!! 

    Ok, I just web-dropped it.

    Who the hell learns INTERNATIONAL Trade Law(r) in Putonghua?!?!?"

    And for all your information, I wed-dropped it too, Commerical Law it is.

    2.) My PRC Legal Methods professor also pronounces "der" instead of "the" and "laur" instead of "law". Good thing is that I only have 36 more hours of her to endure, bad thing is that I almost took a knife to my wrist after an hour and fifty minutes of listening to her lecture.

    Whistler, BC adventures coming soon...

    Week Thirteen in Law School:

    Last week of school = Mad stress. Vicky + Stress = :

    1.) adding cream to "dong lai cha" instead of sugar syrup

    2.) when updating "favourite books" on facebook, I added "How to Kill a Mockingbird"

    3.) having mental images of stringing my CLLM/HKLS professor up by his balls and making him suffer a sllooowww painful death

    4.) my mom coming into my room and telling me "lui, you are very scary when you work"

    5.) only eating HALF of bowl of rice for dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday

    and the last and most significant symptom:

    6.) I, Vicky Chung, rejected alcohol.
