Finished!
Yay me! I've just finished my final essay for the law course I've been doing this year.
And the deadline isn't until Friday, so that's a first for me - usually I'd still be frantically scribbling at 3am on Friday morning for a 9am deadline!
Actually, i think the final essay is a pile of crap that will barely scrape na pass. But since I just need a pass to get a distinction overall (and therefore get out of one exam over the next two years if i continue with the course), I don't care. I'm sure that says something very profound about my personality.
Or maybe it just says that I'm lazy.
Or pragmatic - why do more than you have to?
Or perhaps just a bit pressed for time right now.
Anyway's. It's done. The course was interesting. Not too taxing, but a good re-introduction to the subject. 15 years is such a long time in law - especially considering almost every single statute commonly used has been rewritten since then, and our entry into the EU has wiped away most of our case law - and even our legal processes, not to mention the sweeping changes this government has made to the judiciary.... Still, much of it was common knowledge to me:-) I will probably go on to next years course, ahough it's a two year proper course, so I might have to actually work a bit harder:-) Although it's an exam only course, which will be better than essays and deadlines.

I like "pragmatic" as an answer. [grin] I'm not so hot with deadlines myself, but its more of a procrastination issue for me.

Congratulations! I'd say if you've done enough to get the grade you need, what will you achieve by doing more? Unless I'm totally into a topic, once I know I've done a good solid "A" job, going over the top isn't worth my time.
