Insomnia

So I find myself sat up at 2 am again, unable to sleep. It's very unlikely I'm clinically insomniac, but sometimes it sure feels that way. In reality, I'm sure it's just my body clock which has permanently shifted, meaning I should be pro-active about this and start at least attempting to go to bed at reasonable hours, and cut out the lie-ins. However, I really think that this isn't happening any time soon. Especially when one considers, as my previous post points out, that many peoples' most productive hours come either at this time or early in the morning. For me, it's definitely not the latter.
Anyway, I may as well have a bit of a gloss over some stuff happening in my life. Since my last mega-post, I have indeed partaken in what is known as a 'moot', or what most people would term a mock court trial. Needless to say, I didn't do particularly well, and was absolutely shredded by the stand-in judge. Bit demoralising, but what doesn't kill you and all that jazz. On the subject of jazz, I've also discovered I'm a bit of a fan. It's ideal Sunday evening listening and relaxing above anything else I can think of. I should have realised this earlier really, having played saxophone for a good portion of my life.

Yes, I'm fully aware that's not a saxophone, I'm not an idiot. That's Miles Davis, the late great jazz musician.
Not that I've been looking into it or anything.

Anyway, having fallen at the first hurdle in this mooting competition, (might not have mentioned it was competitive...) I have taken up another law related pursuit outside mandatory university work: the Innocence Project. I'll post more about this later, for any of you interested readers. However, I get the feeling my next post about an attractive actress/ model will get far more hits, as my most popular post selection suggests. To keep it short for now, I'm getting involved in real casework for convicted criminals. It's serious stuff, and indeed I had to sign a confidentiality form before I started. So no details, I'm afraid. But as I said, I'll let y'all in on some general bits and bobs from what I'll be doing.

What else is new? I just watched the new Gerard Butler film 'Machine Gun Preacher', which was actually pretty inspiring. I think I'm going to do Human Rights law next year though, rather than shooting up Sudanese LPA members. I won't spoil the story for you, but I'll do a film review at some point soon.


On a concluding note, girls mess with your head an awful lot these days. Such is life.

Hasta luego, readers.
