[QUOTE="Samphire, post: 125948, member: 26366"] hello to you all, hope you're keeping warm and not snowed in! this week's update... 1) Bristows application submitted! giving myself a pat on the back for (a) submitting and (b) correcting all auto-corrections to "Bristols" 2) Got through to the next stage of the Bird & Bird application stage, the Watson Glaser test. I've got a week to do this, so will be putting in some practice at the end of the week to do this at the weekend. 3) Got a rejection from Taylor Wessing. I submitted it a month before the deadline, and felt my application was good, so was disappointed not to make it past the application stage. Not sure why it doesn't affect me as much as previous rejections (is this "personal growth"?!) However - in the nicest way possible - it's their loss, and I'm determined to keep going :) this week's goals... 1) Keep revising for the final of the commercial awareness competition that is taking place this week (no pressure, eeeek!) 2) Revise my free text answers for my almost-there application to Lewis Silkin, have a few days away from it, then revisit next week (wb Dec 19th) 3) Start working on my Osborne Clarke application (think I know what I want to write, just need to beaver away on it on my lunch breaks) for a good first draft next week (wb Dec 19th). feel it's a bit late working on this, given the deadline (rolling) is January 16th but worth a shot isn't it... 4) Resist the temptation to eat any more mince pies goals 1-3 seem attainable, at least... 🤣 [/QUOTE]
