    People with Opposite-Sex Siblings: Question

    My brother, who is 6 years my senior, would never, ever, ever do anything like this, nor would I want him to. Just... no. No. He will barely even hug me when he's going back to Queensland after a visit. Gross.

    Q: "What kind of lawyer do you want to be?" A: "A rich one!"

    Oh Christ, don't say that, I need hope for my post-uni future at the moment.

    Who's afraid of the big scary law degree?

    The assignments will pass and you'll wonder what the drama was. Class is, I find, generally the most enjoyable and easy part, along with (some of) the reading. Just work consistently, start the shit stuff as soon as you get it, find your materials for research asap, do a bit every day or so and...

    Do you get any perks or freebies in your job?

    Used to work at a burger shop, we weren't allowed to eat the leftover chips - the assistant manager used to throw whole bowls in the bin. When you're hungry, that makes you murderous. Only got free food working 5+ hours, so they always put you on 4.5 hour shifts. Thank God I quit. Where I work...

    Studying Law - would appriciate anyone's input!

    Re: personality Just about every barrister where I work has some kind of weird personality trait. I was waiting for the lift once when a middle-aged, imposing looking man in full robes and a wig burst into song right next to me.

    Road to the Bar

    Email the Bar association. I'd bet they'd be enthusiastic to talk to you, considering (here, at least) how much being a barrister is ignored as a viable option after uni.

    minimum pay

    At 17, no, it's not. It's called minimum wage for a reason.

    minimum pay

    Have a look around on this website: Australian Government - Workplace Authority: The Federal Minimum Wage I got shit pay at your age. Quite frankly, don't expect much better, especially in the fast food industry. If you want better pay, get a better job.

    Transport Info

    Man, you guys are worried about being on the train at 8? It's around 12:30am when I start to get a little more watchful, and even then I'm not really worried. You're more likely to get attacked just about anywhere else, trains are full of cameras and emergency phones.

    Your first week of Uni-How was it?

    Stressful. But I'm a third year now, and marketing officer for the lss, which means a lot of work which should have been given to me about a week prior suddenly landed in my inbox with 'urgent!' stamped all over it. Also, my boss needed me to work every spare second I had, which added up to a...

    Writing an agreement

    The standard would more or less depend on the kind of contract you are trying to write. That said, just about anything that sets out the details of the transaction with precise enough detail and has an evident intent to create a legally binding document, and there is consideration provided, is...

    Who's been mugged before??

    Not me, but a guy at in the law students' society got mugged at knifepoint by two guys on the way to the tram from a meeting last year, which has kind of freaked me out. Ostensibly carrying a large wad of cash with you for emergencies is good - stuffing a good $200 into their hand generally has...

    Transport Info

    In case you're not a troll Trains are fine, more or less all the time. It is walking through the park to get TO the train that is the part you need to worry about.

    Schoolgirl, nurse or frenchmaid?

    Schoolgirl is just gross, and way too close to home when you've only been out of school for a few years.

    work or study in easter break

    I find that easter break is a good time to catch up on work you've been putting off for a while, so I'd study - or, at least, not take on any more work than you've already got.

    "Stephenie Meyers can't write" - Stephen King

    I agree with Stephen King. I read Twilight, as my boyfriend is using it as a partial basis for a romance book he is writing with a friend and suggested I might enjoy its awfulness. The endless, unsatisfied sexual tension, the irritating throws at the fundamentalist Christian audience, the...
