Extracts from my notes
Posted by Ray @ 10:18 pmYou trust yourself to take notes during class; yet when end-of-semester revision comes, you realize your notes are anything but complete. Here are some choice extracts from my notes, written by me, during lectures and/or classes.
“Bleah… then lecturer talks about a whole lotta crap. I don’t think it’s important. Blah. Blah blah blah!”
“See below”
*Scrolls down a few pages trying to find the case summary
“See above”
“Blah!”
(Seen occupying the space meant for a case summary.)
“You missed a lot of stuff here.”
(Thanks.)
“Gawd she’s long-winded.”
“wtf is that?”
“see para 74 of their whining”
(A reference to a negative CEDAW committee report on Singapore)
“The guy tried to escape, but didn’t make it, was shot on TV. Woot!”
(A reference to Nicolae Ceacescu)
“Alright, I switched off about here.”
“He made a comeback selling porn”
(A reference to the non-legal aftermath of Barclays Bank v Quistclose)
“Okay, this whole chunk is bullsh*t lar”
(written after about 7 lines of copying down a side-story that was utterly irrelevant)
“Aww, his heart is in the right place.”
(On a judgment by Lord Denning MR)
And my personal favourite:
“She’s mooning me again!”
(On a member of the female persuasion with low-slung jeans, who was sitting diagonally across from me, who was bending down to pick up her dropped pen, who, in doing so, exposed most of her… um, upper backside, so to speak, for the whole Lecture Theatre to see)

You should try staging inter-row hangman/Bingo battles on your notes. Make note-taking a corporate affair! Eh heh heh.

My favourite “inclusions” in my law notes were the things I sometimes typed while being in a sort of waking dream while studying.
For example: “Effect on the contract of carriage of the carrier deciding to stow the cargo on deck without first obtaininggggg beanbag ffor my room, but is there a spare kayak?”
I have no memory of what I was dreaming when I typed that, but it sure sounded a bit more fun than carriage of goods by sea.

Trippy! I’m sure it made brilliant sense when you were thinking whatever it was you were thinking. Which is the whole problem with dreaming, eh?
