OK, been a long old while since I entered anything, but not much been going on I'm afraid!
Economy keeps tumbling, jobs not out there, people I know taking time out, thinking I'll do the same. I'm putting less of a premium on jumping into a law firm with every passing day. As I was just saying to a friend, the idea that I'll have to put up with the kind of vacuous people I see every day in BPP fucking appalls me. And that's what you get when you shoot for the big firms, fucking robots. I know now for definite that's not for me.
No, I'm happy to wait this economic crisis out, not go hustling for this job or that job that may or may not be there. Never been suckered into all that cat and mouse of applications and playing the game before, unlikely to now. I just want to work with down to earth people who realise it's just a job, and if u help some people out on the way then no harm done!
So, what are my immediate plans? Travelling of course! I'm happy to secure a temporary job somewhere or other, get a few thousand together, tally that up with my saving, and spend as long as I can afford trekking around the globe. I've had this wheeze to start in Istanbul, pass thru some of the Middle East (not that that's easily done), work my way down to India, thru Asia, and fly home from Australia! Easier said than done, will start gettin travel guides together, getting logistics assessed, that kind of thing pretty soon.
My parents better be alright with it. I know they're concerned bout my welfare and I owe them a lot but I do wonder why my mother bothers to get involved sometimes. She just sent me an e-mail about a paralegal position in Bristol that starts in a few weeks! Pointless, ain't even qualified! but that does go to show that some work is still available, and that will be exactly the position when the recession breaks. my bro wants to get on the job treadmill as well, i can understand that but there's too much other stuff i wanna do.
so, what have i actually been doing? Had compulsory exams a few weeks back, not too worried bout them, couldn't give a shit by the end! hope I haven't failed any is all. get some results in a few days, spose that will be a good barometer. started elective modules couple of weeks back, fucking appalled by the denseness of the people i'm studying with. they've broken up my old tutor group, proper gutted! absoutely no banter these days, unbearable. reckon a bit a tactical dropping in to other ppl's sessions is in order, scope out the sound ppl. thin on the ground tho!
what else...easter soon, goin back home for that, lookin forward mucho mucho...went to a human rights law conference last week in nottingham, pretty interesting, rather annoyed that a bloke i know there didn't bother to come meet me...and getting over a cold by watching endless movies! see, not much! looking at Get Carter rite now, soooo good, never gets old!
How for now x
