R v Miller [1983] 2 AC 161 (HL)

James Miller who was drunk, fell asleep with a lighted cigarette in his hand. Upon waking up, he discovered that his mattress was on fire.

His reaction?? He simply moved out of the room to a neighbouring one!

Verdict: Convicted of arson

On law, its really interesting. And I think its a lot a thinking subject. Philosophical sometimes. My lecturers expect us to really think about issues we read, and we HAVE to prep for tutorials, which I think I'm beginning to get the hang of. Lots of reading, and thinking and discussing. I like it, like its a real EDUCATION. Not just drumming facts and facts into your head. More like, checking out principles and asking if they are right or wrong. I'm so glad I took Econs, and not just science subjects, otherwise, this way of learning would be totally foreign to me.

Socially, still feeling very inadequate and quiet. And I can't seem to push myself out of my shell!! I'm so scared, I think, about what people think about me, its becoming a disability. Argh!! Since when was I so shy?! Lord help me...I KNOW how to do it, I just don't feel like I want to. Its crippling me.. Funny thing is, the very people I want to meet, I'm shying away from. I've no problems talking to people. I've a problem approaching them and keeping a conversation going. Feeling very frustrated now. Garn!!!

Nevermind, give me time. But time is exactly what I don't have.
