New Year Blues

So I haven't written anything in a while. Truth is, I have been enjoying some self indulgence brought by the Christmas break. I was quite lucky that the firm I work for take 3 whole weeks off at Christmas so it was a truly relaxing 21 days for me *ahhhhh*. 

Unfortunately, good things never last, and so Wednesday quickly rolled around and I shrugged off the last bit of Christmas and New Year cheer and traipsed back to the College of Law. Can you tell I was ever so excited? What with Wills, Insolvency and even more Company workshops I am not exactly jumping for joy at the prospect of the new term. Even better than that, the term will come to a magnificent crescendo with the sitting of the Wills and BLP exams. Hooray....

While I am moaning and feeling hard done by (clearly the full time workers of this world couldn't possibly have it as hard as me...) I would also like to bring to your attention a serious student faux pas which I was on the sorry end of this week. From the first day at college, certain groups of friends emerge and these groups have generally remained the same. One particular student that I have made friends with has attended maybe 60ish% of the classes. Now, I am totally fine with this. As I have made clear in previous posts - your money, your course, your decisions! But! What I am not totally fine with is that student, only 5 weeks before exams, asking for my notes on rather a lot of workshops because that student's notes are inadequate. Do they realise how long is spent on making these notes?! I know it sounds mean but I just don't think it's fair. One or two workshops- fair enough. But six or seven...

Anyway, we are due to get the BLP mock results next week so I am sure you will be hearing from me then. Apparently we should be upping the hours we spend studying in exam preparation so, on that note, must dash!
