Schoolin'

So the strike has ended and school has FINALLY begun. We've just started week 2 and all in all it's been a very different experience then what we're used to at UVic. First of all, classes occur in blocks of 45 minutes. Can you believe it? That's shorter than high school classes! The really long classes are 1.5 hours long, but don't worry because the profs will usually give you a ten minute break in the middle if that's the case. And if they don't, the class will start calling out "break! break!" until they're let out. It's hilarious. But, we're not really complaining, because the slow pace of the classes means less work for us. We're still not even sure if we're supposed to be reading anything to supplement our notes, but seeing as we're being spoonfed information, it's looking unlikely that we will. Hooray for law being these kids' first undergraduate degree!

Here are some choice quotes from some of our profs:

1. "Your general knowledge is very extremely poor. It is extremely very poor. I will use ungrammatical terms to tell you how poor your general knowledge is."
2. "Normally, we say the means do not justify the ends. But in due process we turn that around and say the ends do not justify the means."
3. "Rule #3: If you want a drink of water, you must put up your hand." (Our Int'l Law prof is a real winner. )
