This thread will detail my 5 year journey studying a bachelor of laws (honours) and arts at Monash Uni! I'm really excited to start this, as not only will it hopefully provide other AN users with an insight into my course, but also give me a little entertainment down the track when I decide to go through these posts!
A bit about me:
*Finished year 12 in 2018 and studied English, Legal, Accounting, Japanese, Maths Methods (I am not a maths person at all) and Busman in 2017.
*Interest in law/legal studies was sparked in year 10 after doing a commerce elective at school. Ever since then, I always knew I wanted to study law at uni!
*Unhealthy obsessed with 'How to Get Away With Murder' and am in for a reality shock when Monash Law isn't the same as law school in the tv series
For the arts part of my degree, I've chosen to major in Politics and minor in Japanese. One of my regrets in VCE is not studying politics, so I'm really excited to be doing this at Uni. I decided to minor in Japanese because I've always loved the language and culture; it just so different to Australian life. I also really enjoyed Japanese classes at school and so I'm hoping this enthusiasm will continue at uni.
Coincidently, I ended up heading into Monash today and bought some law textbooks secondhand, so I'm glad I've got some of my textbook list sorted. There's a lot more textbooks on my booklist listed as 'recommended', but I think I'll wait and see whether I'll need to get them or not. Don't really wanna spend $2000+ on textbooks lol. Looking forward to glancing at the textbooks I got today, though, should be interesting!
Currently, I'm just waiting for my timetable to come out, which I believe will occur on the 5th of feb. I'll let you know how my typical uni week will (most likely) look like then!
