Ok now it really begins

Hey folks
The first lecture is out of the way and the excitement is finally starting to set in. I sat and followed and was actually interested for a whole 2 hour lecture without exception. I suppose that is the true difference with a masters, you begin to go in depth with someone who is not only interested in the subject but also wants you to have a full flowing discourse with them about the subject. Thumbs up !!!!
BUT (insert unhappy face here), i still feel that for the amount of money i am paying, i should be getting better administrative support. The way you figure out your timetable is just inefficient and confusing. There are some modules that have a timetabled slot but have been cancelled and some that I have been told by lecturers are running this year but are not on the timetable.
Then I get to my class and the sign says it has been relocated, but it hasn't as the lecturer arrives 10 mins late to inform us. We enter the room to find that there are only enough chairs for about 1/3 of the class.
I know this may sound like i am nit-picking as these are all minor things that are part of life. HOWEVER at least a few of these problems could hae been sorted out with just a little more attention to detail by the Law School which is what one would expect from an institution with the reputation that Kings has. But who am i to complain eh?
None the less, i am still a happy LLM student (if only with a slightly critical chip on her shoulder).

i know what you mean about the admin nightmare! and its not so minor when you have to deal with it. my bachelors degree in london was like that too. but those kinks tend to smooth out after the first few weeks - at least until the next semester!!
