Speaking Skadden, Love that I’m away the entire week next week and stressing about whether I can squeeze a laptop into my easyJet allowance… despite not even knowing if I’m getting through to the next Skadden stage. Peak delulu era.😇
Tbf the auto email did say we should start to make accommodations in advance, should we all receive the written exercise invite. Better to be prepared than underprepared in these cases!​

    Honestly, imagine if it’s an email exercise and I’ve only got my phone, that ‘Sent from my iPhone’ is absolutely giving partner vibes.

    Finally done with all critical thinking tests for this cycle. Need a big celebrating drink after all those varied types of wg or whatever critical thinking tests law firms call them. Law firms please don't send me anymore wg or any other critical thinking tests. We all have had a stressful time with these tests this cycle. Goodbye critical thinking tests hope we don't meet again until January or February.
