Prior to walking into dinner, I got chatting to a girl that didn&#8217;t know where Middle Temple hall was, which was a little surprising but I went along with it. \u00a0She then proceeded to tell me that she was actually at Lincoln&#8217;s and her friend couldn&#8217;t attend her final Qualifying Session so she was coming along instead. \u00a0I don&#8217;t know who this girl is, but if you are going to pretend to be someone else, don&#8217;t go around telling people, as you have no idea who any of us are, whether we work for Middle Temple etc.<\/p>\n<p>I did meet a really nice girl who is studying the Two Year Accelerated LLB at the University of Law, and we are both going to Middle Temple&#8217;s Grand Day, a week on Thursday, a black tie dinner. \u00a0It will be nice to see a friendly face, and it always makes networking that little bit easier.<\/p>\n<p>This coming Saturday I am off to The Bar Council&#8217;s Annual Bar and Young\u00a0Bar Conference. \u00a0I will be tweeting about it during the day using the #BCYBC15 as well as blogging about the event sometime in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This is my second weekend at BPP for the BPTC and I will be missing sessions on Saturday to attend the conference (but given the legal climate I think it is important that I attend the conference), then I will be heading to BPP on Sunday for classes. \u00a0A busy weekend ahead but I really can&#8217;t wait to get back to class, especially as I have already done all my prep, and am just going over my notes again (not-so-secret-legal-geek!)<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out next week for the next instalment of #diaryofaptbptcstudent<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this week I have been fairly busy in all things\u00a0legal, BPTC student, Middle Temple member, blogger related.
