Back with a vengeance? Hardly.
Interestingly I start every year with a faux New Years resolution to blog more - well not this one!
That’s correct, no false promises of a blog every week or every other week. No more sudden realisations that blogging is perhaps the way forward.
Since my last blog, the BPTC has ended. Managed to claw my life back. Worked in recruitment for a few months and then I left again - to get...

How time flies...
Wow. I didn’t realise the last time I blogged was over two months ago. Not much has happened apart from: exams, then some stress, then more exams, then some mocks, then some stress, then another mock, then exams, followed by an energy drink overdose, then more exams and then options and then options exams and now the BPTC has ended.
Sad times. In a way I already miss it. Not so much for...

Apologies in advance for the number of moaning...
… but sometimes people get on my nerves.
First thing is the newly formed CoL Library Gestapo that are enforcing the ‘bottled water policy’. No one reads the emails - sod off.
Second thing are the people in the library who sit there with headphones on and then complain about the level of noise? WTF?! Turn the music up or take the headphones out.
Third thing revision sucks....
Procrastination IV
A blog for April, created in the midst of Professional Ethics revision about…
…my Facebook news feed.
So a lot of people have been moaning about the government and the budget cuts and the protests blah, blah, blah. In fact my entire Facebook wall at the moment is covered with different posts from friends about the fee increase. WHY DO WE CARE?! I mean, most of the people I know have...

Something a little bit legal...
Decided to give a little more than the usual ramblings about my monotonous life as a trainee Barrister…
Take a look at:

Its an article written by one of my old lecturers and disso supervisor (back when I was a humble law student a few moons ago!).
I think its...
Procrastination III... The late night blog
This one comes with the title that makes it sound a little like those late night radio shows almost no one listens to.
But, I am here - suffering from a bout of insomnia and clearly hoping one of the methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution will help me drift off. It hasn’t and as a result - I have decided to watch ‘Christopher and His Kind’ on iPlayer. All in all - it was...
Procrastination II....the day of the weird mood
So, I am here again. Mid-afternoon madness in the library once again. Handed in a skeleton argument the size of the amazon today. Crazily decided to stay in the library and ‘revise’ for my upcoming exams
Bad Idea.
I ended up spending an hour and a half running around west London looking for a suitable place to get some food. Finally found a place, got undercharged for a small banquet...
Procrastination....
So, I am sitting in the library trying to multi task my way through ‘mountains’ (slight exaggeration, some people would call it a small hill) of work in preparation for some of my BPTC exams next week.
Short of staring aimlessly/pointlessly/blankly into space, I thought I would attempt to fill the void that is my blog! So yeah, here I am - now wasting words and energy writing utter...

February
February is one of those ‘meh’ months - don’t you think? January is over - as are the sales. February makes you realise a whole manner of things such as… failing at your new years resolutions (which I have done), spending too much in the sales (which I have done) and not doing enough work to name but a few!
Also its such a random short ass month too! It’s practically...

I don't normally do political blogs but...
…today is an exception. Also, failing on my resolution to use this thing more often. On the other hand - twice in a month is better than my previous track record!!
So - what has got me so annoyed I thought I would blog about it? These blasted defence cuts. I shall be the first to admit I am not an expert in Ecomomics and the recession but seriously.
Have a browse of:...

Goodbye 2010...Hello 2011
So, it has been a while since I have blogged anything. A good 6 months in fact. Why start again - I actually do not know! But I guess I want to, the whole point of new years resolutions and the like are to try something new(ish) and well, this blog is something I can do anywhere!
So 2010 has been the year where eras have ended and new ones have started. I said goodbye (reluctantly) to Falmouth...
- it is time I started using this again…. watch this space.

Saying Goodbye...
OK - I have to make a short speech at Grad. Been told to maybe talk about saying goodbye to people. Led me to write this - bit too long but, I may cut some stuff out!! (and add some funnies too).
Saying Goodbye…
…I’ve come to that point where it’s time to say goodbye to a few things. It’s a feeling of sadness, excitement as to where you are going to go next, but then there is also...

A few thoughts on: Friendship
I’ve been meaning to post this for some time - never got round to it. Here it is:
Friendship…
Funny thing really – don’t you think? What is it? Does anyone even know?
I guess it is one of those things that most people always question. Everyone has their different perceptions of what a friend is, what a friend does and how a friend is supposed to act. I’ve spent the last three years...

…a dream is something that fills up the emptiness inside, the one thing that, if it comes true - will make all the hurt go away….
Waking Up...
Current obsession (other than revision) is the Tom Ford film/Christopher Isherwood book ‘A Single Man’. The first bit of the film applies now…
Waking up begins with saying am and now.
For the past eight months waking up has actually hurt. The cold realization that I am still here slowly sets in.
I was never terribly fond of waking up. I was never one to jump out of bed...

...rather than post a picture/quote or video...
…I thought that I’d write you a little message instead!
What a week - in a sentence. A lot has been going on, got a ‘mock case’ to prepare for Tuesday. Found out I’m going to London on the 10th Feb - which is pretty awesome. Then again had some big disappointments!
As weird as it sounds - I’ve learned a bit too! I guess with some things, you just have to let...
“Just give me a name, give me a right
Take all I know from out of sight
For now...”

"not just your average law student..."
New Year…new start.
I guess everyone says the same thing every year. What makes this one different? I don’t know. What am I going to blog about - I haven’t figured that one out yet either.
All I am going to say is - here I am. A 20 year old law student, going through one of the most important years of his life. I don’t want to be trapped by law - I want to go out,...
