Title: Apart from the Above...


...I'm going to talk about my internship. I'm a temporary labour hand at a big plant offshore this holiday, which is a departure from what most law students do in their holidays. My job is to sift through coarse sand, which is the product of a complex process fusing metals and silica. Don't ask me about the hows and whys, I have no idea. Well I just know that the mixture is known as a new substance called (from combining the words 'metal' and 'silica') 'Metallica', and that my official label is the 'enter-sand' man.

It's a far better job than the guy who has to chemically test and evaluate this substance. I have to admit that he's good at his job though, so much so that people call him the 'Master of Pipettes'.
