more more more 2004
There are a few parts to this email and I'm trying to get something out before my next class starts in 20 minutes, so here is the first part...
PART 1: Will I thaw in 2004?
Yes it's flippin freezing here!!! I seem to have a habit of hitting freak extreme temperatures. First it was the European heatwave and now it's been snowing in Victoria (the most western and warmest part of Canada). Apparently they only get snow at ground level every 5 years or so. It is -10 degrees (not counting the howling windchill factor) and tomorrow a snow storm is arriving!!! Much excitement!
It really is amazing how much more beautiful everything is when it's covered in white. It's such a novelty to be walking around in snow, but I've been told that my wide-eyed enthusiasm will soon fade as limbs start freezing off and I slip over and crack my skull on ice.
So here I am back at law school in the UVic computer labs clad in thermal pants under my jeans, thermal socks, a polyprop top, long sleeve top, woollen jersey [which they call "sweaters" here - so wrong], huge english duffel coat, toque [Canadian for woollen hat] and gloves. mmm toasty warm. This term I'm planning on taking 3 courses, most chosen on criteria that results in a minimal timetable and minimal work load - oh and may be interest and usefulness too.
- Conflicts law
I feel I don't have enough conflict in my life so was endeavouring to rectify this...but the course is actually about private international law, oh well. My lecturer is a kiwi and was surprised how good it was to have a familiar style of teaching i.e. boring droning voice talking for an hour and a half out of a textbook - how refreshing!
- Human Rights and Global Justice
I'm going to try and learn to heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race....This is my Monday 6-9pm class (boo) and apparently only 6 people got into this course. I have just found out it is also being conjointly run as a masters philosophy course. Am I scared? Yes.
- International Topics
What topics? I'll be finding out on Friday. It's kinda nice to be enrolled in a "mystery" paper. Although on the other hand I'm still deciding if I want Friday off for a long weekend so may drop it.
- Race, Ethnicity, Culture and Law
Sounds good eh?
So that's the low-down on the term for now. I'm also thinking of taking up indoor soccer and joining the photography club.
I must run and get to class, but the next email will be out tonight: my FANTASTIC winter holiday bonanza.
