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 the work, but for the people. Weird how much you learn about people on such an intense course. It is mental! Anywho, as is customary of my blogs around this time of year, I ought to talk about being in some sort of limbo. Yes in a way I am, in terms of potentially being a barrister but not being a barrister, but I can honestly say it does not bother me in the slightest.
OK. That is a lie. Pupillage would be amazing but it is not the end of the world if I don’t get it. The Bar is an incredibly difficult profession to get into and it is still not the fairest. I mean, I don’t have an undergrad from Camford (or Oxbridge - I prefer the former!) and I also don’t have money coming out of my arse to be able to remain a student and complete my masters but - I am hoping (*fingers crossed*) that someone, somewhere will appreciate hiring a law-based person!!
All that said, I am also enjoying the break. It has been a tough few years, and I am slowly clawing my life back. [insert supportive cheer] It also means that I might even blog more.
Yeah right.
