It is official, Peenise Pea (who may be referred to as Scott or Scotty from here on in) has killed God in my eyes. Allow me to elaborate.
We had this project called a "scrapbook" due on Friday. Scrapbook my arse. Said project consisted of 50 news articles, all summarized and highlighted and then 25 two page write ups. It was ridiculous. Anyway, the insanity that this project was kept my up until 4:30 in the morning on Thursday night; despite how I had been working on it for over a week. (And before any of you get wondering no, this was NOT our independent study, that was an 8 page essay that was due on the 10th of January - right after the Christmas hols) So, being up that late meant that I had about 1.5 hours sleep - if that - to run on Friday, the day we were going to the courthouse.
So, my dead-tired self gets up Friday morning, is nearly late for school, does not have a chance to have any coffee and goes to my bloody law class. And you know what? No one else had their damn project done. Not that I have an issue with my classmates, hell no, I'm proud of them for defying the system and not finishing it. But that's besides the point at the moment. I'm sitting at my desk and Scott comes over and is all "oh look, you finished. How late did you stay up?" and, of course, I mutter "4:30" and he just laughs and says something stupid and obnoxious in return which was along the lines of "you should thank God you're done". He's standing right in front of me, leering with that horrid moustache less than a foot away and I just wanted to hit him. So, I did the only thing my sleep-deprived brain could think of. I told him "you've killed God in my eyes." Yes. I said it. Scott killed God. I wouldn't doubt that he could either, he's Satan-incarnate. Just ask anyone in my class; they'll agree with me.
Well, the rest of the morning consisted of me sitting at my desk, laughing hysterically for no reason other than I was so tired that I couldn't do anything else. Well, that and Scott asking me what he should deduct from the rest of my mates' marks because their assignments weren't completed. I said nothing but, because he's an ass he made me say 5%. Honestly, I have NO PROBLEM with there being nothing deducted but noooo, he's an arse.
So, after the traumatizing morning of me being unable to hold in my laughter and my disrespectful comments (not the mention the string of curse words Mr. Savage was privy to, both in English and Estonian) we proceeded to board the bloody CITY BUS and go downtown for our field trip to the courthouse. Well, if you thought Scott had enough time to blabber on while we were still in class you are sorely mistaken.
We were lucky enough to have a lawyer being our tour guide for the morning (she also got us in to see a murder trial which was pretty cool.) So, this wonderful young lady, who I respect so much for not beating Scotty over the head with a gavel, was attempting to talk to my class and tell us about being a lawyer and about some of her experience as such. There was only one problem - Scott kept interrupting her. Apparently, he knows more about being a lawyer than the lawyer does. Of course, we all found that hilarious and had trouble keeping our laughter in. It was amusing to say the least. The only thing we learned is that Scott apparently didn't just want to present his seminars on self defence, automatism and mistake of law but also one on being a lawyer.
Luckily we got him to shut up when we were in actual court proceedings and Jen and I managed to escape him when we went for lunch at Pita Pit. I can only hope that my other classmates were as lucky when they went off to the Cool Moose. Nevertheless Jen and I returned to the courthouse at 2 and boarded the bus back to our "wonderful" school. From there I came home and passed out until 8 when I awoke to feed and watch Doctor Who season 3 before heading back to bed. Luckily I had no nightmares of Scott traipsing around my house while Martha was snogging the Doctor. Ew. I think I would 'ave had to board the next plane out of the continent and hid in the alley near the scriptorium in Oxford.
Well, all I can really say about the day's activities is, well, we were headed West.
