Exams are over! And somehow I’ve signed up for more than my fair share of pro bono hours – I secured an internship with the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme which would already fulfil my required 20 hours, but then I was also approved for the Syariah Court Friends programme and that’s another 30+ hours in the bag… And right after the exam, as we were heading out to lunch, the careers office called and said they were nominating me for the coveted litigation internship. I get to shadow a lawyer in court! Fun times, and I suppose it makes up for the disappointment of not securing a “real” law firm internship.

I’m fat and ugly and hopelessly unfit, and also awkward as hell now that I don’t bother to hide it, but I wouldn’t switch places with anyone else in the world. Life is good.

(okay maybe if she were a slimmer, prettier version of me with the same personality characteristics, I’d swap)
