Week 1: Impostor plus maxima

Tuesday and already there’s notes in my mailbox for contract law.
Went to the library but not to study – was obtaining readings because I couldn’t secure any 2ndhand textbooks. Given the cost of books, I might just borrow all the way.

Wednesday and I’m rushing readings while eating leftover pizza because the queues at The Summit are too long and my time is too precious.

Thursday and I screw up by being slightly late for tutorial as well as giving the wrong definition of “verdict”. The answer was actually in my readings but I hadn’t got that far.

We find the rest of our GLB cohort and all 10 of us have now been added to the group.

Popped over to UTown with other students to explore student life options and we were all late for the Contract Law lecture, which may have prompted a response from the no-nonsense lecturer. She told off a couple of students for talking, so I will have to watch my motormouth.

As advice, she told us that everyone has Impostor Syndrome in the first few weeks. I probably feel it more than most, since I only got offered a place on my second try. I was so anxious that they might have made a mistake selecting me over some other candidate. I’m never going to believe that I was better than someone who was shortlisted with me – if there was the space I’m sure they would have loved to take all 800 shortlisted candidates. So I can’t let my status go to my head cos now everyone is just as good as I am.
