First week of LPC

First week of LPC is over & I'm already exhausted. I've also broken all my rules.

i.e. 

~ Try not to stay up too late studying 

~ Lay off the coffee until you really need it

~ Don't be stressed

Coffee & trainers = Life of a Londoner

From Day 1, I already knew I would be in for a storm, I just didn't realise that it was going to drag on from the moment I start, until the very end of this course. 

But it isn't all doom & gloom! I am honestly very much in love with my life right now. Being in this position has shown me how far I've gotten and I'm becoming stronger everyday, as a person & as a lawyer. 

My flat is super groggy, but I made my room my home. To remind me of all the people who have and continue to support me, to keep me motivated when everything is drained from me, and to remember how far I have come, and how much further I can go.

I've also been blessed with wonderful flatmates, who, understand me in ways that cannot be explained. I'm so grateful to have such great company. 

Speaking of company, I seriously despise Company law. I cannot believe that I could not escape the wraths of this beast. George is laughing at me now. He thinks it's hilarious. 

Even though it seems like I need to work ten times as hard as my group at the LPC, I still manage to feel some relief & happiness inside. Relief that I am here. I am at BPP studying something I truly love & cannot wait to build my life from it. Happiness that I've been blessed with a great beginning, which can only mean an unforgettable journey.

Up until now, I've never truly respected free time, or "me" time. It feels amazing to be free, even if it's for the day, and Canterbury definitely made me feel welcomed, with it's beautiful stained glass windows and pulled pork buns.

It's coming up to 11pm now, which means the new week will be here in an hour or so, & my 4 day week begins again. This feeling of tiredness & exhaustion has begun to feel like some form of adrenaline, pumping through me to stay motivated & to keep studying. So everyday, as I look at my medal from the 10K Sure Run to the Beat, I think to myself, if I could run 10K, then what I'm doing now can never be as exhausting as that day.

Let's Smeyes (smiling with your eyes) to the new week! Oishhhhh!
