The annoying thing is that this flat cost a shitton of money And things keep breaking down And I keep putting more money into it.

(She left her possessions to Him of Many Faces ) No but seriously it wasn't a will for an actual person, just an activity we did using a set of details our professor assigned. The LPC side of the course is not so much academic as the practical elements of a legal career - drafting legal documents, litigation procedure, solicitors accounts etc. I love it so much. You know Paula talks about the high she gets from a good legal brief? Well that's me! I'm also lucky to have the opportunity to do lots of research as my course also entails writing g a dissertation/project, which I need to write my proposal for by next month. Much excitement on my end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more of a Heather. I'm a student. I just signed up to do an extra program this year - as an addition to the MA I already have - that I expect to be quite boring, but it will at least qualify me to start applying for teaching jobs, preferably abroad. I am sick of not having a job and being in a field where there are almost no reliable long-term contracts ... pfffff. I hope that at least this program will lead to something, but it is one year more ... (adding to my PhD program, of course). 4 hours ago, HelenaExMachina said: I'm also lucky to have the opportunity to do lots of research as my course also entails writing g a dissertation/project, which I need to write my proposal for by next month.

Buckwheat Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 @HelenaExMachina look! It is a photo! (If you don't want to know anything from the new season, then don't look, but it is not very spoilery.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen'ari Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Buck, her course is a year long, post grad, specialist one to then allow her to practice law, it’s intense and not easy and I wish her the best of luck with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's on the MA level. Combines the straight LPC (which is a specialist course which is necessary to allow me to practice as a solicitor) with an LLM (which is the Masters side of the course) 31 minutes ago, Lord Sidious said: Buck, her course is a year long, post grad, specialist one to then allow her to practice law, it’s intense and not easy and I wish her the best of luck with it . And it's more intense because I have the Dissertation work to do but it's the only way to get student finance for the course and I enjoy that academic side too so I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Wow that’s very complicated. Here people just go to a law school for 5 years and they get to practice whatever they want after that. Well, good luck with your course @HelenaExMachina And @Buckwheat you are truly the real life manifestation of Heather’s “I’m a student”. Another course? how do you not get tired of studying stuff? Very impressive and very admirable skills there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen'ari Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 All that studying, and still can’t represent some one in Crown Court...... Only, very very mildly teasing Helena, wishing you the absolute best of luck with your LPC, from big and mini Sith . For what it’s worth I think you’ll make a great solicitor.

Very impressive and very admirable skills there. It's not much different really, 3 years undergraduate law degree, 1 year LPC or alternatively a pupillage if you want to be a Barrister, like our gracious empress. You need to do a training contract after your LPC too but that's basically just your 'learn on the job' period 2 hours ago, Lord Sidious said: All that studying, and still can’t represent some one in Crown Court......

That means a lot, thank you Barrister never appealed to me for some reason. Not least that I never really understood the Inns of Court, dinners stuff :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 I am back at talking to the Supernatural Entity and he is saying ALL THE RIGHT STUFF and I just want to hop on the next bus and go north to my other home and! Oh also, during the summer course last week, I had a minor relapse in my sadness that I didn't feel most of the time since the breakup, so it basically came back to haunt me after being pushed away for like half a year almost. I am a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just appealed to me because I can be an argumentative,stubborn bitch , but I won't be going back to it any time soon, if ever, I have an apprentice to raise .

I would never ever have the patience for that :/ youll manage to start living alone permanetenly too. 14 hours ago, HelenaExMachina said: It's not much different really, 3 years undergraduate law degree, 1 year LPC or alternatively a pupillage if you want to be a Barrister, like our gracious empress.

Not least that I never really understood the Inns of Court, dinners stuff :p Yeah, that sounds a little simpler than what I thought so far. I don’t know anything about law so that probably adds a lot to it why it still sounds complicated. it’s 30C and I’m sitting at some stupid tax office. I know nothing about these things. I guess I should just get an accountant... I mean I just cannot deal with this and getting rid of the stress is probably worth the fortune I’d pay an accountant. Stupid stupid stupid entrepreneurship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid stupid stupid entrepreneurship. So basically I am taking courses for 120 ECTS this year. Up to now, I have really managed to finish everything I have put my head into study-wise, but if I manage to pull this year off and not lose my mind completely, that will be a new high. Or actually, only not lose my mind, even if I just manage a normal amount of ECTS in a year. You still have summer! Not fair! I slept with my window open, as I do when it is warm outside, but then I woke up in the morning and it was cold. As in, autumnish. I don't want the summer to end. I am defying the weather by still wearing summer clothes today. The text I am proofreading is just unnecessarily complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
