Yes dear blogwatchers,

Must be a change in the wind!
Well I haven't posted in while, partly because I've been revising and partly because I've been working! Ive been studying Bail and Police Powers today and hopefully I will be able to finish all the rest of Crime tonight. I'm sure I will...I HAVE to.
I just had to update my blog because so much has happened; I've just managed to catch my breath. First of all, I met up with an old male friend of mine (We'll call him Mr Literary) who I used to like (in that way) whilst at University. Was so nervous because it's been about a year but we got on fantastically as expected. So fantastically(*) in fact that coffee turned into drinks and drinks lasted till well into the night. *sigh* It was too late to get the train home so 'ended up' at his place and 'slept' in his spare room...AWH!
Spent the wee hours of the morning talking and getting close finally culminating in the most delicious good night kiss EVER. Admittedly I've not had many kisses to compare it to but it's the sort of kiss you get flashbacks of while you're doing the most mundane of tasks and it makes you grin like a soppy idiot for about half an hour. (I think his cat is a little traumatised by the scene it must have met walking in though...bwahahah!! Miaow!)
Needless to say, I am uncertain of things with Mr Literary and whether this was a one off or not. To make things worse, I can't do anything about it for a while as I have exams...Watch this space huh?

We shall not be...well shall not be moved
Interesting day today. I'm being sarcastic. It was a relatively dull day today. However, I have managed to get over my revision block and get some work done! Today I focused on Civil Lit. doing Foreign Jurisdiction and Witness and Expert Evidence. I really must get some more tabs so that I can get my CPR book in order though. It's really all over the place.
My plan for tomorrow is going to be to get cracking on Property Law for which I might go to the library. All depends on how bad my hayfever thing-a-ma-jig is tomorrow. Snuffling in the library is most annoying...if I say so myself!
My birthday is coming soon too but am so short of ideas, I don't know where to go or what to do!
Time will tell.
I'm trying to keep strong here (hence the title) but the universe is testing my patience these days. Haha. I know it sounds quite dramatic but hear me out. I'm really trying to forget this Leo guy...I think I'm doing pretty well on that front. However, over the past week or so it's been trying. Trying in the sense that I can't get him out of my head again. What is going on here? If this was just nothing (which it was) then why can't I forget? Why am I continually being reminded of him everything I do? Seriously. I'm happier now with my new job, meeting new people and just getting on with my life. This is seriously beginning to disturb me now. I need to ride this feeling out.
Till next entree

I'm still standing...
...yeh yeh yeh. I attempted to sing there. Did you notice that? I'm in a good mood today...ish. Went job hunting today with reasonable success in that there are actually jobs out there to be applied for. Now I just have to play the waiting game. I'm used to playing that game by now! (no allusions to love life intended!)
Had all my revision lectures yesterday thus making the seemingly mammoth task of going over 20 lectures and 30 SGSs for one topic less so. Pretty excited about getting all the highlighters out and going for it this time around; which admittedly is sad but its not all been a bed of roses over in Curious Cat ville. I really just need to sit down (tonight) and plan out my revision, digging out all the statute books and folders from under the bed and replacing them with the elective stuff. Kinda nervous about results now - 25 July...EEP! If I have to retake any more exams I will not be a happy kitty to put it politely.
Anyway, for now it's Hollyoaks and tea avec scone time so I'd better dash...OH NO! I forgot there aren't any more tea bags left. Darn it. This simply will not do. Can't quite be bothered to pop out now so shall have to endure withdrawal until tomorrow morning. I digress. Till next entry.

p.s. I've strayed a little and changed fonts; spontaneity eh?

Saturday Night Fever...
...or boredom more like!
Had Business Accounts today. Didn't go so badly but then it's hard to tell with figures isn't it?
Feel a bit at a loss today. No money, no job, no Leo (haha, wait...scratch that last bit). Well, yeh, no Leo. I've been thinking how much I miss having someone to talk to about nothing. After having a really good conversation with Jenny Legal*, it got me thinking about how much I too would like to have someone to talk to about any or everything and just feel at ease with myself. I suppose taking refuge in this blog is one thing but nothing beats actual human contact. I just sometimes feel that I throw myself into my work and just shut myself away from people and then when I've gotten out of the work-sleep-eat routine, I'm virtually a social outcast. Something's got to give eventually though because my social life sucks at the moment.
Oh and did I mention that I found Leo's number again? I did. I still have it in my possession. I'm not going to do anything silly with it. I won't mention the discovery again.
I'm having an early ish night tonight. Laundry day is tomorrow! What fun

Business Accounts...again
So I am NYC in Business Accounts and so have to do the exam again this Saturday! Getting to grips with the format and I'm slightly reluctant to say that I am enjoying it...bar Company Accounts. That ruddy Analysis of Reserves 'calculation' is driving me slightly loopy but I'll get there, eventually.
I thought it would be a good idea to pop into law school to revise today (which is where I am now) and it's deadly quiet except for the occasional BVC student popping in for their results. I unfortunately have a banging headache and just can't concentrate for very long. See how much longer I last here today.
Elective exams are finally over. I am a bit worried about Private Client law to be very honest, partly because of the life interest trust created by will and the taxation of that estate in that exam. I suspect that I may have gotten my trusts a bit muddled up but I shall not dwell.
Didn't post before but managed to get myself a week's work experience with a Legal Magazine in London which I am very excited about. This may be my bit on the side if and when I qualify; Legal Journalism. I just can't get enough of writing, albeit the fact that I may not be particularly good at it or that anyone reads my writing! But anyway, I am really really excited and may need to buy myself a new pair of trousers and a new blouse for next week (any excuse to go shopping of course!)
Well now that I am finished with the SGS prep and so on, I can get cracking with my applications for training contracts seeing as I don't have one yet. I have seen a few firms which I am really interested in so it's just a matter of sitting down and getting on with the applications now. That and getting a part time job. How hard is it to get a job folding and selling clothes and shoes...I'm training to become a solicitor for goodness sake!
My motto is nothing before it's time and that everything happens for a reason so who knows what the coming months will bring...
Till next post

CBC goes green!
It's been a long week. Not that I've done enough to justify me saying that, but it feels it. Just about to go to revise for Family Law on Thursday but just to add that I feel really proud of myself today! I took my environmentally friendly, 'jute' bag to do the food shopping today, walked half an hour to the supermarket and half and hour or so back. Although the food was in danger of spilling all over the place, at least there were no more nasty plastic bags cluttering up the place. I feel better for it. Thighs of steel baby! (for today)
Now all I need to do is get a few hours in before I check out whether this Big Brother malarkey is worth wasting my time on. Is it wrong to like a man with a beard...(well stubble anyway).Beards can be shaven...but ugliness on the inside cannot. That's my justification and I'm sticking to it. I just saw Rupert Everett on telly sporting a spiffing beard type thing. Hm
