Thanks for the insight!

So annoyed with myself spent all week prepping Goodwin and about to submit it and I missed the deadline by 1.5 hour!!! Guessing its probs not worth emailing them? Same thing for Ashurst!!

I was surprised to learn that the deadline was in the afternoon, as it’s usually 23:59 for most firms.

This made me realise that Ashurst has already closed their applications for the Summer Vac Scheme at noon today instead of the typical midnight. I was in the middle of writing up my application for them! I've never closed my laptop so fast 😭😭😭😭

Every time I see a notif pop up I panic thinking it’s an app update, only to open gmail and see it’s yet another UberEats, Deliveroo and JustEat discount code and promo email…​

Small update: I fell for the gmail bait and ordered myself UberEats. Yet again I got distracted and am doing everything except my apps. Now I am back at my desk with more snacks and I will defo get a crack on with this stuff now (I hope) lmao. 🥲​
