Agest past, ages future, ages in between writing but plenty of thinking.
About the reasons for the rules.
On a lot of fronts.
We are so happy when we "know the rules".
We feel "in the club", grounded, settled, able to choose within bounds.
Asking why they are the rules is a hiding to nothing, a quick route to an unquiet life, a quest rather than a question.
So be it.

Everybody knows
Disappointments are part of the equation of opportunities.
Without an opportunity I guess there are few disappointments?
So I have no summer job, which is sad, but not sadder or saddest.
I so hate not being picked / chosen / included / read other words of approval by another in here!
Well, maybe not so hate.
Dislike intensely?
Take a moment or three to get over?
Reflect on at length?
It was good to get a look-in at the corporate end of lawyering, information is always useful.
Could come in handy next year.
Could confirm what I want / don't want / will put up with, sometime.
I would have liked the pressure to lessen - pressure for results right now, which is proving a tricky challenge.
Though I got (I think) great help from one lecturer I trusted enough to ask for extra help on the exam question part of things.
Summarised as (again, I think)
- "answer the question" and
- "know the details" and
- "be straightforward" and
- "there is a place for your metathinking even here - it's as a little statement at the end which shows you understand how all the detail makes a principled contribution to the context".
So attempts taking place at
- learning the detail (but that's what monkeys or computers are for?)
- making straightforward statements that don't hedge my bets
- making it easier for the examiners
*%):, stress already.
Now more of the same ...
Hope y'all having fun as well.

Spin it another way
Spin it another way
Put another spin on it
Would you like to go for a spin?
An other spin?
Surprised by life, by Gerald, by joy
SurprisedLaughter
Better and better
Towards the red hat
The purple dress
I have the red dresses
Perhaps I need the purple hat.
You are so random, Mum.
You know me too well.
You make me laugh.
I hope so.
