Four weeks into Law, and I’m starting to question my state of mind when I decided it was the one SOLE career for me.

Silly, SILLY Tash.

However, it’s too late to change my mind now. I’m just going to have to bear with my current (soporific) modules until I get the freedom to choose my own. And then it’s HELLO Medical Law and Public International Law, and external International Relations and History modules!

Just a quick recap of what’s been going down in London town (gosh, I crack myself up sometimes!):

- I have Contract & Law of Obligations, Introduction to the Legal System, Criminal Law and Public Law as my modules this term. The first two modules… well, let’s just say that they leave much to be desired in terms of prolonging my interest. The latter two, I don’t mind so much. I despise the size and comprehensiveness of my textbooks though. Whatever happened to condensed revision textbooks?!

- I have not been going out as much as I thought I would. Which is at once strange, yet expected. In Melbourne, I chose not to club at all. Here, I’ve only been to one proper club (Loop, which was disappointing), and will be at Pangaea on Halloween Eve. THIS should be a lot of fun, since it’s high-class clubbing. This entails men in suits, always a very exciting prospect, because suits always add hotness to men. (: Us girls will, of course, be in dresses. Except I don’t have a black, white or red one, or a combination thereof, which fits the theme of the night. This calls for a dress-shopping expedition on Sunday!

- Loads of other social activities going on, as you’d expect with London! Saturday, Amanda and I will be attending the BSUnion (Brunei Student Union) Hari Raya celebration at the Dorchester. For 7 pounds, the food’d better be good- I mean, it’ll be fantastic to see everyone again! Riiiiiiiiiight, Tash, haha! We were on the waiting list for the LONGEST time ever, and we’d planned a trip to Borough Market because we thought we’d never be able to go… But the trip to the BEST food market ever has since been postponed in favour of high-class dining and mingling and tittering over glasses of um, air bandung. It should be fun. On Sunday, I’m going to the London Dungeon with a group of friends. I haven’t been there in yonks, so I’m looking forward to it. Next Saturday, I’m heading up to Cambridge with a HUGE group of students for a day trip. Reliving the scene of my interview disaster, mmhmm.

- The annual Malaysian-Singaporean Society Nottingham Games is coming up in two weeks’ time too, and guess who has volunteered to represent LSE … in chess?

It’s getting colder here, but I’m growing to appreciate the walk from my Hall, Bankside, to university more and more each day. It’s nice walking to and from school, along South Bank — with lovely vistas of the London Eye, Westminster, St. Paul’s Cathedral… — everyday with friends, especially at night when the bank is lit and the lights glimmer and twinkle and make you feel like you’re in a wonderland. No, sometimes, despite the cold and the drizzle which is swept along by the wind, the alone time feels great. Many a great contemplation on all manner of subjects (ranging from trivial to LIFE-CHANGING)has been had while walking to and from Bankside.

So far, I have no complaints. London just feels a lot like home now… There’s no awkwardness between me and the city, and I reckon it took far longer for me to feel assimilated with Melbourne than now. But I did realise a couple of funny things!

Back in Melbourne, I’d have 6 Krispy Kremes in the span of two days. Right now, I have two in the same afternoon, and I’m already contemplating going on a salad leaves diet because they’re so fattening (200 calories apiece, Original Glazed). I walk everywhere now, and have not topped up my Oyster card for two weeks now. I recall I used to tram up to the area around Dairy Bell on Glenferrie Road. How unfit was I then…
