Ball of Choas

Found this story on a website. The author is unknown. One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty a...

Here I am, 4 weeks into college and I'm starting to feel the dead weight of work starting to sink in. The irony is that during our first day of lectures of this year, our lecturer walked in saying that the worst (being the second year) is behind us, but I think she was wrong. I have four 3000 words assignments due in January, a 15,000 word dissertation due in may and of course, two exams in may. On top of that my export lecturer is not helpful at all. You know those lecturers who mumble to themselves in stead of lecturing? So much so, that your mind automatically drifts away? Well, I'm lucky enough to have one of them. It's kind of sad really cause apparently it's one of the easiest modules to pass and here he is, making all the students fall asleep. The bright side however to all this, is that in another 7-8 months I'll be done with studies for the time being.

I'm two weeks into my final year and let's just say that it has been a bit hectic. See, my final year law subjects are all optional and after selecting the modules we are given 2 weeks to change it. Now the thing is that during these two weeks we can attend any lectures that we want in order to get the  feel of it. However, let me tell you that it was no help at all, because initially all modules seems easy but then half way through it, it starts to get really tough. So after two week of contemplation just (and not to mention much thought) I finally selected the modules that I wanted and now I just hope that i made the right decisions. But other than the module debacle, it actually feels really good to know that within another 7-8 months I'll be done with law and moving onto my next adventure. Though of course I still have to get through my exams and assignment, also,  hopefully get a really good classification. So here is to another year of sleepless nights, coffee ...
