So, new term, new tricks, right?
When I say new term, I merely mean electives have started. Last week was the first week of lectures and this week SGSs have commenced. New subjects means new groups. I liked my old group. i made friends in it. Now I must go forth and associate with new people - what a bother!
That aside, electives are very exciting. I am particularly a big fan of Equity Finance (which is basically all about listed companies and the Stock Exchange and suchlike). This week we are doing floatation - my main gripe with it is that I don't understand why it is spelled flotation as opposed to floatation, like float. Bah.
Debt is almost as good but really pales in comparison to the interest I have towards Equity Finance. My other subject is nothing very exciting as I did not get to select it - Big Law Firm did the honours for me... Can't have everything I suppose, at least I have a job to go to so mustn't grumble!
More PLR (Research memo writing) fun is currently taking place. I think I have finished mine. But the usual PLR concern of "Do I have the right answer" is going on a bit. On the positive side, research memos are quite fun which I hope bodes well for my future career. Sadly I don't feel the same way about drafting...
Drafting exam in a few weeks - I actually feel like I know absolutely nothing about it. We had a few SGSs back before Christmas but the exam felt very distant then! I am sure I can pick up a few things but currently I feel like I am going into an exam on something I am having to learn completely from scratch!
Advocacy is also part of this term's fun. And it should actually be fun. Unlike interviewing. Yuck. I might actually be good at it. Unlike interviewing. Yuck. Which reminds me interviewing results are out in a couple of weeks. Yuck.
I should end on a pleasant note - it is light at six now! This makes me very pleased and puts a spring in my step - in addition to the spring I get from Equity Finance!

A Legally Blonde blog....... fantastic!! absolutely loving your interests in the film and her character i thought it was great..... I have also discovered that there is a musical of Legally Blonde and it is coming to London.......!!!! How exciting........
there is a website delaying this information -
http://www.legallyblondethemusical.co.uk
I am not sure about when and where it will be showing though...... do you have any idea... being such the devoted fan ? :-)
Apparently you can also sign up to recieve the newsletters about the musical and any news on it!
Take care
xx
Remember.... blondes have more fun!
Wow new reader! Welcome!
I saw Legally Blonde the Musical on Broadway and it was GREAT! Very excited to hear it's coming to London! Yay!
Definitely go see it, can't find any more info but will obviously put any updates on my blog if I find some.
Everything in this post sounds veeery familiar.
What kind of Drafting do you guys do? Particular of claim and such, or..?
Good luck anyways, I'm sure you'll be fine!
We draft contracts, POAs and that kind of thing. We did marking up of particulars in Civil Litigation but the actual drafting exam is all about commercial contracts.
I see... Sounds exciting!
Nice new layout, by the way :)
I have a question regarding the LPC - Is there a divide amongst those who have a training contract and those who don't? Do providers generally help those do not yet have a TC? I have heard that in comparison to the GDL, the LPC provider is more important - more notice is paid to the LPC provider on the CV. Im currently weighing up pros and cons of part-time study v full-time and cheap provider re big provider (such as Kaplan / BPP / CoL)....dilemnas, dilemnas...
this is so funny - im guessing from your phrases that we are from the same law school. how fun. and we may even know each other - but will never find out i guess!! how is drafting going? im stressing so badly i completely don't understand and am scheduled to go to america for a week monday to saturday - leaving me 1.5 days revision!! good luck sweetie xx
