Argh! It burns!
Well, actually it doesn't. For once, I've managed to spend a day in the sun and not turn into a pork scratching, and I only had factor 20 on! I spent the day in Birmingham, being reassured that I'm not doomed to be unemployed forever, and in fact, am not behind others doing the GDL this year. I need to start applying for sponsorship later this year, but if I don't get it, it's not too big a deal. I can try again the following year with most firms, and if, for example, I get a 2:2 instead of a 2:1 this year, I can wait until after I've finished the GDL, and hopefully get a 2:1 in that. Work experience will also count, so I might try and become a legal secretary whilst studying, though I was advised to seek work as a paralegal afterwards, if I don't do the LPC immediately.
This law fair on the 27th will be useful for finding out what area I really want to be in and what the various law firms are looking for.
It's been SO hot today! Deciding to walk back from the law college to New Street wasn't a great idea, I've drunk about twice my weight in water today and I still feel dehydrated!
On said walk, I discovered a missed call from the lettings agency and guess what? We've been let down on yet ANOTHER house. We now have less than 2 weeks to find somewhere to live. Thankfully, there are some ideas floating around, a couple of places that look interesting and a viewing booked for Wednesday (though I'm going to have to run for a taxi straight after my exam). The place looks nice, so I'm hopeful, though whilst the boys appear to be pinning all our hopes on the one property, I'm formulating a backup plan.
This, as I'm sure you can imagine, stressed me out somewhat, especially since my so called "smart" phone seems incapable of connecting to Hotmail so I couldn't find out what the guys had sorted out. (I asked Nicola, the letting agent, to email Joe since I couldn't do anything about it there and then). Consequentally, I bought 5 large cookies and ate them on the train.
I have decided I very much would not mind living in Birmingham. Though it was frustrating not being able to shop, due to the impending house move.
