a snowy willowy branch
Oh. Revived.
Thanks for everyone’s support in the past couple of days. I really felt I had to rant out my feelings because oppression drives people nuts and letting it out helps a lot 
Well, after all that, I finally finished my exams this morning. It was law and… Surprisingly, I found it much easier than the past paper questions. First and second essay was alright but the third was just crazy hard: “Discuss the development of these changing perceptions…” It was a little hard to elaborate on the development of changing perceptions because… What happened? Social changes feed into legal changes, so courts decide on cases in different ways. In the end, I ran out of time to finish the final sentence of my final conclusion. So we leave it at that.
My friend has her last exam in five days so she was pretty relaxed about it and we went shopping in the city, shopping at the local mall, and eventually watched Shrek 3. It was funny and yeah… Finally getting to talk to someone out of my family for the first time in two weeks felt really great.

No, i don’t understand a bit of that law and social jargon. reads like gibberish to me.
Forget four years, I’ve never been on a date alone with a guy. I went o watch a movie with four guys, lol. Anyway, have fun and good luck.
Good luck and i’m glad those exams are finally over
You mean how changing perceptions change the Law? One need only look at Wi Parata and compare it to NZMC years later. Or even changes in property law pre-relationships act… impact of feminist theory was quite evident there (i.e. growing awareness over the years that the work housewives did contribute to the wealth of the family). It’s not a one way progressive street however, courts generally go through phases of activism followed by retreat (where they narrow the activism down so it’s only applicable in a few places).
Dinner between a guy and a girl alone can be as friends, but your parents and their friends are unlikely to see it that way. The guy is also likely to, at the very least, be thinking about dating you.
I recommend lying to your parents and going to a restaurant that they and/or their friends would never ever wander past or go into.
@Hydora: lol yeah. Being with multiple guys is fine. I remember being invited to a birthday party with 10 guys and when my mum came to pick me up her jaw dropped *gasp*:roll:
@Chien Yee: thanks!
@dpphatness: wow you guessed it right!
It was in particular about Wi Parata “a simple nullity” and NZMC “greatest constitutional importance to NZ”. I basically talked about judicial activism and the differences in how they decided all the significant Maori cases. But yeah, I was hesitating throughout so the flow wasn’t quite good.
Lol no he probably wouldn’t be thinking about actually dating me or he wouldn’t have rejected me in the first place. But it’s definitely a restaurant my parents and their friends haven’t mentioned of before. Anyhow, I’m so impressed that you guessed the content of my studies from that one sentence!:mrgreen:
I am clueless about law jargon as well, so I got lost in the middle of the first paragraph. (:
But on the whole, congratulations on completing all your exams!
Date with a guy? For me that was seven months ago, and it was a friends’ date in which we just went as friends. Unless your mom is thinking, “Gay guy + you = Gay guy + lesbian”. Plus, people go out to dinner together all the time.
A law reflects the value of the society it governs. So naturally, it’ll change with the society. I would have written about how the outcome of cases reflected popular opinion, or the opinion of those in charge.
Hmm … dinner out with a guy, alone … I dunno. =\ I’m really bad at relationship analysis. See, there’s this guy I like … I have no clue if he likes me, but we are pretty close. We have eaten dinner together twice, alone. But were those dates? =.= I don’t know … technically we are only friends, but I like him romantically, and there have been many hints that he may like me. I’ve even been invited over to watch a horror flick. Still, I doubt he likes me … a girl can wish, right? XD
I think that if you go out with a guy for dinner, to be safe, assume it’s not a date. XD Just in case it wasn’t meant to be a date.
Oooh law … I can’t wait to start studying law. =] I haven’t graduated yet, though … I’m in Grade 11. Still Grade 12 to go! XD But I’m taking Law 12 next year.
I always go out on dinners with guys (majority of my friends are guys). It’s nothing special, nor does it exactly have to be called a date. It could be as friends etc.
Hahaha. XD
Cheyah! That always does the trick!
Yes. Gay friend.
Socialization is good. I’ve been the type of person that never goes out because I have really low like.. energy level?
I get tired VERY easily. (Even though I play sports a lot… I guess being out in public is much more draining than playing hard hours of tennis… I don’t know.)
But ever since I started dating, I’ve been going out more and more… and I just went to some outings with my girl friends… which I haven’t done in like a year or something.
It was nice to just be stupid middle schoolers (they were insane… I seroiusly think their mind set is in middle school or something) and talking about nothing, walking around the mall.
Don’t stress yourself! At least now, you’re out of school for the summer (right? o_o summer vacation? no? wait… would you be going into winter vacation…?) and hopefully you’ll be able to hang out with friends. :]
I’ve thought about just getting English credit and leaving high school but then… It didn’t eally work out with my parents or myself. :/
Look at it the bright way: You’re uber smart.
It doesn’t necessarily mean a date.. I mean, I asked a guy friend to come out and hang out with me at the arcade and stuff… And that was just the two of us… Though I didn’t tell my parents that… Just said I was going out with a few friends, lol.~ Good luck with the gay story and everything!~
Yeah… I never got to Bleach.
I’m not sure why… I guess I had enough of shinigamis with Death Note.
Thanks. I have my first actual test tomorrow with physics. Quite exciting. And an essay for World History.
And one more test on Wednesday and then I’m done.
Very excited. :]
Congrats on finishing up your exams!! Now you can finally relax and enjoy your summer vacation :wink:.
Dinner with a guy sounds like a date, but it can also be just as friends. The thing with guys is, it’s pretty easy to tell. They can be pretty transparent.
All the best for your results, by the way!
I am glad you are feeling better, Rilla.
Oh, you can go to dinner with a guy and it not be a date. You can just go as friends. I do it all the time with my best friend Jock. He is just like a big brother to me. But the problem is other people seem to think that we are a couple. But they don’t matter. You just have fun.
Dinner with a guy tends more to the “date” thing, unless you’ve both established that you’re friends and nothing more, I think. Hmm. I find it semi-amusing that Asian parents automatically think male friend = boyfriend. Which can get irritating, but it’s almost unvarying. Or you could just say you’re having dinner with a friend?
End of exams is love.
