So I have been doing electives for a good three weeks now and although the initial feeling post exams was "I CAN'T GO ON!!" I am now happily settled into the new modules. The countdown is on for the end of the LPC with only nine teaching weeks in total for the electives and we have now completed three of them.
ICL so far has been a real go over of contract law and a smidge of EU law too. I'm finding it very interesting. We have largely been covering commercial contracts for the sale of goods between businesses including express/implied terms and remedies - all the things you would expect from a module basing itself on contract law! In terms of amounts of work - ICL is fairly tough going with a lot of prep for each module and unfortunately it is not prep that I feel you can get away with not doing.
I was always going to love private client because it is the area that I am involved in at work. For that reason alone most weeks I feel quite familiar and comfortable. On top of that, the module has a real focus on tax - mainly Inheritance Tax so far - and if you can remember from my tax blog waaaayyyy back during BLP, I LOVE TAX! So you can consider me a very happy bunny.
Speaking of bunnies, the Easter break is here. I can't quite believe that I am saying this but (and yes I know we are only three mere weeks in) I have managed to remain extremely organised with my work so far. I have completed all the prep for each week AND I have typed my notes after each class for consolidation. And you know what that means? I actually get to have a break this Easter! Hoorah! We get two golden weeks off and I have lots of lovely things planned including redeeming the spa voucher my fantastic best friend bought me for my birthday wayyy back before Christmas, plenty of running sessions in preparation for my upcoming half marathon (crazy I know), a Great British Bake Off night with my favourite gang of girls and all things I like to call "life admin" - dentist, doctors, haircut etc. And then the second week I'm off to Center Parcs for an action packed week of adventures.
Yay for Easter!
