I know I haven’t put up any decent posts in awhile, I don’t know whether to blame it on laziness or being distracted by study but I’m determined to be a bit more consistent this year.
Not much has happened since last year though, I hate it when people gush at me and ask “what’s new” because all I really have to tell them is I’ve been rotating my pyjamas more regularly and I’ve replaced my TV addiction with Skyrim. They generally give me a brief, pitying look before telling me about their time bunjee jumping with lions in Nairobi or whatever it is that interesting people do. I smile and nod and excuse myself to refill my gin. Everyone wins.
I can’t imagine my life will even get any more interesting during the coming semester considering I’ve now finished my science degree and I’m taking on a full law load. That, coupled with the fact that 50% of my law group has decided to go on exchange and the other 25% hardly ever shows up. To make my life even more pathetic, there are only 4 people in my group and I am one of them.
Who knows, maybe I’ll make new law friends. I did try that once in 3rd year, though, and it was not a fruitful endeavour. I got drunk at a law function and told a bunch of random people we’d be best friends. Surprisingly, when I messaged them later, they were not interested in meeting up for coffee. I maintain they were just jealous of my confidence.
What are law students so uptight about anyway? With their creepy hands and dark, beady eyes, staring unblinkingly into your soul while they recoil from sunlight and steal fruit from your gardens.
No… wait, I’m pretty sure I’m thinking of tiny bats, never mind.
Point is, I’m very lonely and sad and I think if people see me in the law library they should gently pet my head and hand me treats. Yes, then everyone will think I’m popular. Brilliant.
