This entry comes sooner than I had anticipated, the aim had been a singular entry per week, but such is the case in life, things change.
The lectures are finished for the day, the seminars too, giving me a long weekend to get stuff done, before next week begins anew. It's been an interesting week, upon looking back, it feels like it's been such a long period of time since Monday, in reality, in the space of the four days, the time has passed rather quickly - though I suppose having a three hour seminar online could be attributing to this.
The lectures themselves weren't too bad, a few less than I had this week, allowing a bit more time to enjoy for myself. Monday saw time to allow a pub trip, because who doesn't love those. Wednesday I had off and yesterday, I attended my Law Clinic lecture. Truth be told, I'm a little daunted at the concept of it all. I've been practicing Law for 4 years now, by the end of this year, 5, but I'm in a position where this module, it's more than I ever realised I'd do. I figured it would be a rather lecturer led session, when in reality, it's a more student based thing, this isn't necessarily the worst, some "independent" work will prepare me for life after the degree so there are advantages I suppose. I'm expected to, alongside the group I'm in, work on client cases, offer legal advice free of charge, this can be to students (which tends to be rent based issues), staff (tending to be family based issues) or even members of the public now and it's a little scary to think about. I reckon it'll be easier once I've gotten into the practice of things, but the concept of it all, is so foreign and yet so familiar at the same time, so stand by for updates on that set of shenanigans.
As for me personally, it's been a long and arduous week mentally, my sleep schedule, to no surprise, is a mess, some nights I'll be able to sleep like a rock, others my body forces me to lay awake and contemplate matters. There are other matters with regards to my health that I'm not yet meeting, but I'll get there, my "to do list" so to speak, is to actually meet my flatmates and not just isolate myself in my room, go shopping so I can get something to drink asides squash and make a habit to have a meal every couple days at a minimum (because I'm notoriously bad for not eating). I don't expect the changes to happen instantaneously, it'll probably take a couple weeks at a minimum for things to have any major effect, but until then it's just a case of turning the wheel and steering my way through life.
There may be an update later this weekend or early into next week with regards to this situation. Equally, there may not, however regardless of the update rate, I wish you dear readers the best, I hope you have had a good week and have a better weekend
- semper fidelis
