Saturday, 25th of October 2025 - The struggle of understanding Public Law
(PSA: sooner or later I'll fix every header to be written in the same way, and I'm going to start writing a title to my diary logs)
So today it took me 2 hours to write... 6 pages of public law notes.
And not pretty notes, mind you. Notes. Why did it take me so much time to do a relatively short paragraph?
For starters, it's the most difficult chapter in the whole course. The professor knows it, the older students told me about this one and I just knew I would have to spend a ridiculous amount of time to actually learn it.
It was poorly written (IMHO). It would have been less difficult if the textbook was written with students in mind and not law professors. I had to read twice or thrice the same stuff in order to even understand what it was about.
Therefore I had to search for other sources.
I can't go to lectures - I have a full time job, and I think that not having the professor explaining things to me is more difficult.
So there is it. I'm starting to regret my full-time enrollment, but at the same time I think 6 years was too much for this degree*. I'm not behind my studies, mind you, but public law in particular is kicking my ass in a way I absolutely anticipated.
Even if it took me 2 hours to get this 6 pages of output, I don't feel overworked - this subject is not above me or my abilities. My problem is time constraints, and there's nothing I can do about it. The difficulty of the subject is actually motivating. But I can't do better than this.
Other than probably moving psychology to next year, because honestly I don't think I can also manage that.
*(Per student rules or whatever if I do a part-time enrollment I can only do half of the exams, which means this degree is going to take 6 years instead of the 4 I've counted. Unfortunately I can't do a 4 year part-time enrollment)
