[QUOTE="LillyandSilver, post: 183914, member: 31510"] Honest update. [I]The horrors persist but so do I[/I] I'm five weeks into my SQE prep course, a little ahead according to my timetable but I still feel like I'm behind on everything compared to the people on my course. Hated dispute resolution and business law, like who needs taxation?!?!? Everyone says that the Barbri multiple choice questions are very easy compared to the real thing which is worrying me because I'm struggling with just them but I live in the hope that Part 36 rules will someday stick in my head. I also feel kind of left behind, some of my friends who are trainees are talking about buying houses IN LONDON and I'm still living at home. Comparison may be the thief of happiness but someone needs to tell my brain that. I have also completely burnt myself out. Doing work alongside doing the SQE is too much for me, there are only so many hours in a day and I do think that I've been burning the candle at both ends recently. I took Saturday off but all I could think about was the fact I wasn't doing any work. I just want to fast forward this year to the part where I start my training contract, rather than spending my life making flashcards or writing essays. There is only so much new stationery that can distract me from the fact I'm about to do some very hard exams and I feel like I still know nothing. *Edit - I bought a glitter pen and a highlighter that smells like watermelon; life is looking much better* [/QUOTE]
