this happens, all the time.

because at the start of the course, i think to myself ‘hmm… do i really need that? maybe i don’t need that, really… i’ll survive with the basics, i’m sure’. and then now, a month before exams it dawns on me that i seriously have to get that book.

last year it was the statute book for EU law. the year previous, it was another statute book, some revision guide to public and constitutional law, and an extra book on criminal law.

This year i’m too lazy to go into school, or even to walk to the bus-stop, so amazon.co.uk is my new best friend. say hello to amazon everyone, it’s been providing me with endless book recommendations and a free trial for their dvd rental service.

but of course i’m ignoring all of it, bceause i don’t have the time nor the money, to get down to the bowels of its stock, to get my hands on some Hart. The Concept of Law, by HLA Hart. damn these law books are expensive *gulp* charge it to my credit card please.

and, seriously, even if it’s not going to be of any use at all, if i don’t do an exam question on that topic, and i never read it ever again, at least it’ll look good on my bookshelf and bump up my intelligent-intellectual quotient.
