Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's a new week, so a new blog entry. I am sitting here eating a very unsatisfying breakfast of tea and bad tasting fruit (pre-chopped, must be eaten in a day or the juices mix together and it all tastes gross).
Had a very exciting weekend (some will disagree that this was the case) going to watch the Jessup mooting competition at Grey's Inn. For those of you not in the law-school-knowm this is a big international competition, pitting sleep deprived, competitive law students against one another, with a free trip to Washington and glory on the line. My uni had a team in, and as a mooter myself, I went along to get some tips. It was all highly political, with coaches cheating, trash talking, rivalry etc. There was one team I watched who were appalingly bad, but generally the standard was pretty high. Then the team from my uni didn't get through (despite winning best speaker and best respondent memorial), and one average team got through. Apparently this was all due to a political decision, as none of the big universities, or winners of individual prizes, got through. Drama! It was all very exciting, though maybe this is because I'm a law geek.
After this, I went and had Vietnamese with a friend in little Vietnam (aka, Shoreditch. You can't walk five minutes up that street without hitting a Vietnamese restaurant or cafe, and we are challenging ourselves to eat at all of them). The following day, headed out for MY FIRST PANCAKES IN LONDON at My Old Dutch. Delicious.... But packed with families. So maybe don't head there on a Sunday lunch time if you want to have peaceful pancake time.
Other than that, looking ahead to a crazy week preparing for my own moot (on this Saturday). The pressures on now, and we must win. Or die trying. Congrats to Katie who got engaged by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
