    Congrats on your progress through December!

    Do you have a plan for how you will develop your commercial awareness? I'd be happy to help in any way that's useful for you. Looking forward to seeing your hard work pay off!
    Thank you! I'm going to try and engage more with what I am reading in the news. So, for example, if I read an article in the FT, I will create a mindmap or take some notes on how I think this will affect law firms and their clients. I will also try to post more on my 'confused to commercially aware' thread!

    Just did my Eversheds AC, and omg, it was HORRIFIC. It was so scary the whole time 😣 😣
    Hey @confusedlawstudent, I definitely empathise with how nerve-wracking these ACs can be. You should be proud, however, of getting through that first AC - the first time doing something like an AC can feel scary because of not having done one before. It is something that comes easier with practice (of either just ACs or putting yourself in those unfamiliar situations where you have to interact with people you have just met). I would definitely give yourself that time to celebrate getting through the AC, take care of yourself and rest up and maybe write down anything in particular that you found challenging during your AC as a reminder of things to consider for future ACs.

    CMS AC ✅ this was definitely worse than the Eversheds one. It was mainly that the group exercise was not what I was expecting at all so I was quite confused the whole way through. Anyway, expecting PFO but trying to get over it and not continuously cry my eyes out for weeks :)
