Onset of Stress and Obiter Dicta

Obiter Dicta

I just got back from Obiter Dicta, the Western Talent Show. There were about 20 performances, most of them vocals and guitars, one violinist and one talkshow. All of them were volunteers and apparently this 20th Obiter Dicta is part of a long-running effort by Western students in support of a hospice in London. So $10 for a good cause and a night of entertainment, not bad. Most of the performances were not bad at all. The finale band medley item was the best, as the lead singer was spontaneous, had a very good stage presence and in our words, 'groovy'. I almost thought she is a professional.



Onset of Stress

Some stress from work has started to set in. IPIP classes are disastrous as I can't follow what the prof is trying to say most of the time (and I'm not alone), I'm lagging a little behind Private Law Theory readings, considerable readings for corporate finance and casework from litigation practice. Somehow cls seems to be a stressful place, though I've not even officially started work there. I don't know, it's about a certain substratum of the place.

I have to meet up with Margaret tomorrow morning for an entrance interview, do duty hour and see Deanna regarding my case file. I read through the file and has an idea of the background. Hope everything goes well tomorrow.



And lastly, I'm entering the labour law arbitration moot with Adriana! Honestly, felt quite honoured that Adriana proposed it :) I had my reserves at first firstly I've not mooted for a long time and I'm not necessarily very confident of my moot skills after first year LAWR. But I guess I should rebuild my skills from somewhere. Anyway, I guess it'd be less formal since a factum is not required and we'd be competing with internal teams first. I really hope I won't let my partner down and that we WOULD be the team to present Western at the competition. It'd be the greatest miracle of my life that could keep me happy for the longest time!
