yes, here i am back again for the second time today, not because i can't get enough of being holed up in my room being a stuckynerd, but rather (or more uninterestingly), i've found out that i can't renew my textbook any longer, it being on three day loan and all, and i need to return it tomorrow.

but no! i have to decide to one-up these library people, and have taken to making notes religiously on all the bits i wanted to use in my dissertation in time for the lecture that i have up there this afternoon at 3.15. why? i think sometimes i seek to achieve things that are not good for my health.

i am currently in a dilemma about where i should apply to for my lpc course next year. the options are three:

1) bbp london

pros:
prestigious
high employment prospects i.e. sole provider to 3 magic circle firms
big ego boost upon getting accepted
ease of access

cons:
expensive.
very, very expensive
in london
might die should there be any more terrorist attacks
did i say expensive?

2) bbp manchester

pros:

ditto london

cons:
new place
campus not my cup of tea (no offence)

3) northumbria uni

pros:
SOL lower
familiar territory
fees reasonable
up-and-coming law area
largest law library/department in the northeast
good prospects as i want to work in newcastle
in a city i love
pretty high up on the law society scale, though just under bpp
lpc/llm package
Boy

cons:
not as prestigious? sometimes employers are snobby like that

i've been racking my brains as to which i should choose, because if i choose northumbria, it'll effectively be cutting a large chunk off getting a job in one of the magic circle firms, which sounds bad as i type it, but at the same time i really don't see myself working under one of them anyway. for me, at the end of the day it's all about employability. i really don't want to go through all that, and then after all that effort, end up being an unemployed lout. i guess i want to make the choice that's right for me, not the choice that's right for the high-flyers with ambitions to work in the heart of london under the biggest firm in the whole of the uk.

ah well, i guess the right choice will make itself clear in good time. now all i have to do is cogigate a bit more and think it over. parents, if you happen to see this, let me know what you think ok?

by the way, who else reads my blog? hrm. leave a message too k :)
