*explicit* Today I tell it like it is y’all. The news is in on whether I got selected to represent the Uni in the Vis Moot (Hong Kong or Vienna)!
Can’t say any more now; you will have to listen to hear the news.
Also am off to see ‘Warriors of Brazil’ tonight! Man, they look damn HOT.
Oh, and don’t forget that I am off to Indonesia – next Thursday. 
ps- this is explicit, but I can’t get iTunes to show that. urgh.
got the news that i was NOT selected for either the Hong Kong, or Vienna, Vis Moot team for Uni. 
Hmmm. 4 girls were selected; all of them definately qualified to go. Two of them however, who are the top law students in our year pretty much, and have been on student Law Society, and have had numerous summer clerkships at the TOP law firms in Australia… etc etc (catch my drift?), do NOT need to have gone in for the overseas oral competition. Their legal careers are already guaranteed!
It is the people who could not get even 1 interview for a summer clerkship, or ever been selected for anything else at Uni, that just MIGHT have needed something like this on their Resume – to try and get a job one day.
And as for the University. Feedback was “all of you were high enough standard to go and compete”. *cold comfort*
So, yes… I am bloody pissed off.
Mong-mongi is hanging in there for another day as I drive to Doug’s place to play PlayStation3 with him. I need some ‘veg time’ after delivering my 10min oral presentation for Vis moot student ‘moot off’ today.
I have a 4 in 13 chance of being selected, so there IS a vague chance of me being selected.
I wore my new suit today, so I was looking damn professional and HOT in the city today. Oh, and literally ‘hot’ too, cause it was stinking hot in Brisbane today. Gee wearing a suit & tie is a bugger in this tropical heat.
Homeward bound for part 2, after i feel rather bloated from a strawberry shake at Hungry Jacks. *barf*
Oh, and what do you think about the new cheapo Chinese cars; Great Wall?

Vis moot (written) is over and I am feeling very good now. Yesterday (Friday 22 Jan), we had a meeting to find out what was involved in going overseas for the Vis moot oral comp., in Hong Kong & Vienna. Oh, and I went up the coast with my honey-bunch-cutesy-wootsy boyfriend, Roy. Oh, and his 2 flatmates. It was a nice afternoon at Caloundra.
Saturday I went suit shopping in the city with Roy. I need a suit for the ‘moot off’ on Wednesday, and eventually – when I have job interviews OR go o/s for the moot.
(episode recorded on 23 January)
My final ever ever day at the Dept of Salt – 21/1/10. Join me as I drive to work, and then drive home sobbing after work.
I chat about sweet Roy’s birthday (today), and the final countdown to submitting Vis Moot Respondent memo – to be emailed to Vienna by midnight tonight! It may also be the last time working with evil girl…? AMEN brother!
After being booted out of the building, I walked next door to Centrelink to ‘prove’ I was a student and not secretly rich. They asked me a ridiculous number of questions – so lets hope I still get my free cash from the government for being a student.
PS- I hope Roy likes his Justin Timberlake wall-calendar.

I saw ‘Up in the Air’ yesterday, and waffle on about that for a short while. Also relive the days when I had 130,000 frequent flyer points with Ansett. Yes, I was an international jet-setter at one point.
Today I recorded a bit of waffle on the way home from work, mainly about impending Vis moot deadline (midnight this Thursday).
At the end is a clip from Walt, at Don’t Quit Your Day Job podcast. He sums up my thoughts nicely.
- there is other stuff in this show, but I am rushing to post this and get back to study. I know, how sad is that?!
