I thought I'd write about what I've been doing during the second semester since it has been so long since my last post. I finally decided to do a small number of vacation scheme applications rather than the 20 suggested! One firm in particular I am dying to hear from. I had practically given up when I recieved an email telling me I would find out whether the application was successful on Tuesday. Scary.

Other than that I have been busy doing my Law and Medicine coursework. This involved researching and writing a 10,000 word essay on a topic of my choosing. In the end I decided to write about transplantation and whether there should be a presumed consent system. I was dreading it really but once I started researching I got really involved. The essay itself took a long time to write and when I handed it in I was so relieved! Now I need to concentrate on my EU law and jurisprudence coursework. And then REVISION. Which is always terrifying...

Over the easter holidays I am doing a mini pupillage. I did my first day last Wednesday and really enjoyed it. I get to see a lot of what I have been learning in Criminal Law put into practice which is really interesting. I went out and spent far too much money on something smart to wear...my bank balance is not looking happy! Over the holidays I've also got to decide what options I want to take next year. I think I will do a dissertation, although I am not sure what on. Possibly some area of medical law. Other than this I am not sure - think I might do a mixture of areas to keep my options open. Back to University next week so I can spend the rest of the Easter holidays in the library...great fun!
