Studying Law for 3 weeks

Soooo finally i have some time to write again. Lots of stuff is going on and i have to tell alot about studying law. Obviously i don't have much time, as u may have noticed. Well let me explain. My week is not so bad on the first sight. I have only two days in the week when i have to go to university. One lecture and a tutorial on one day and a second tutorial on another day. That's all! Buut. I have to meet with my group on another day to work on assignments. So that's three days every week. On the first day each week (for my course at the moment of course)we don't have to know anything, we will get our theme in the tutorial. Then we have some time to discuss and talk about this theme. Then we get our assignment for the week which is to research and make a principal about our theme. we have to do this in a small group with 3-4 people. We meet and talk about it and finish our assignment. Then the groups will present their solutions in the next tutorial. Furthermore we have to read and do exercise on our own between those tutorials. Then comes the hard time. We have to research on our own and write a paper each week. I wont go into detail but that's the hardest part in my opinion.

How is the University? Hows studying law so far?

It is great. I love the way we have to work here. We have to do mostly everything on our own. The groups are really nice and people are eager to learn (not everyone of course). The whole university is really nice and modern. Studying law is great too so far. It may be the learning method but its really fun. I don't think i would like to study law in Germany where you have big lectures. Its not only fun but u really learn while you discuss and talk with each other.
So far its great. I will write about that later.

Hows living on your own?

Its great! Cooking for myself isn't that big a deal. but its a change if you always have to work before you can eat. Then wash the dishes. haha.
I (only) have a bike and there comes another problem. I can only go shopping with bike. So i have to leave big things in the shop.. And riding the bike.. i still have pain sitting on it, after 3 weeks of riding it everyday. Well it will go away soon i hope/think. I have to go now but i will write updates soon.
