One thing that i didn’t realise was going to be such a big deal this year was what to do between classes. For me this is less of a big deal because I live on campus, so if I have a huge break between classes I will just go back to the dorms. However if the break...

Last Friday I had my first law test for the semester and it was hell on earth. Okay that may be a little dramatic but still, it was 30% of my final grade (although the course does have plussage*) and I was determined to do well. We still haven’t got the grades...
