I never thought I would be clever enough for a legal career and never gave a thought to studying it with the languages that I studied to A Level and degree. It was only when someone I know through business networking (a solicitor with a practice local to me) suggested it, I had a lightbulb moment.
And so I find myself going back to school... well university today. I only got confirmation of my place on Friday as my application had a few hitches so last week was a fraught one. Yesterday I had a horrible thought- did I keep my waterproof Primark tote bag that I used to use for uni? Oh and- where *is* my pencil case with pens and highlighters etc? Swiftly followed by- Must remember to pull out the spare notebooks from when I finished my undergrad?
But by yesterday afternoon waterproof bag was safely found (folded up at the bottom of my cupboard, exactly where it should be), pencil case and notebooks (both in the box in my cupboard labelled stationary) packed into it and 2 outifts- one for if it's pouring rain (as forecast), one for if it's dry (over-optimistic). Nails were painted, the iPod was charged and loaded with (amongst others) the new Example album Playing in the Shadows that I've been listening to this week, ready for my train trips.

The only downside to this next stage of my life is that Chloe Likes To Talk is going to have to take a back seat for a couple of weeks whilst I find my feet and sort a routine through. I'll almost certainly still be posting Chloe Likes To Eat on a Tuesday and I may just have a couple of guest posts for you. You can still get me on Twitter or feel free to drop me an e-mail. Any tips or advice on doing Post-Graduate studies would be welcomed.

Oh hope that it all gets off to a good start for you - people have been trying too convince me to take my legal training further, but it's just not something i want to do :/

hi Chloe,
I'm a quiet follower from Germany and I've never commented before but I had to comment on this post, for some reason. First of, your blog is great. It's one of my favourite blogs to read!
I study law as well and I love it. I hope you'll like it, too. How does that course work, since you didn't study it from the beginning, as far as I understood? :)
Have a great start and I hope to hear from you on the blog again, once you've setteled at uni. :)
Love,
Liz
