A routine at last

By LLM85 in LLM85 KCL on Oct 24, 2009

Ok guys, sorry I have been so MIA, but that is simply due to the workload that is starting to pile up at my door. Yes sir, my LLM is well and truely underway and I have to say I am still enjoying all of my modules. But that may just be becuase I chose the right modules for me because I have heard plenty of moaning from other people that they are not enjoying their course as much as they thought they would. Oh well, luckly me I guess...

One thing I would say to anyone who is considering doing a LLM, it is something you have to be prepared to committ a lot of time to in order to do it well. I thought that once I got into the swing of things with my academics, I would be able to get a part-time job to save for that scary time otherwise known as 'looking for a job after you graduate'. But I have had to rethink that slightly as I just don't have the time. I'm not saying it can't be done but I really do think that if you can possibly afford not to work and study you should.

I am having a few sleepless nights about my future job prospects as the deadlines for internships and work placements are fast approaching. The faint echoes of whether this LLM is really going to be worth it have been bouncing around in my head. Some people keep telling me that there is no way a person who gets a decent LLM from a place like Kings could ever not get a job afterwards. But people used to say that Lehman Bros would never go bankrupt and well we all know how that ended...

But anyway, I suppose these are questions that depend on me and how much advantage I can take of the opportunities I have been given.

Well on that note, I had better get back to the books.
