Meeting My Barrister

Yesterday was the first day of classes. Nothing exciting, really, until we toured the Inns of Court and met our barristers for the externship program. I was one of the lucky ones, in that my barrister (a) showed up and (b) is lovely. She's fairly young (my guess is somewhere between 28-32) and very friendly. She's invited me to brunch on Sunday and then a bit of shopping in the markets near her apartment. H might come along too.

For those of you who haven't heard about the program, I'll spend every Monday shadowing my barrister and keep a journal of my experience. The first week or two will be quite interesting, as she's doing a murder trial nearby. V. exciting.

I really am going to upload a pic or two today, followed by a tour of our entire flat tomorrow.

Until then...

Now that I can use my own computer at school, I'll be posting pictures of our flat ASAP.

Ooh, a murder trial -- good show (will you give me Anglophile lessons while you're there? :P)

Awesome! And is that a little theater down the street?

Have I ever coerced you into reading the four books by Sarah Caudwell, all about young barristers in London? If not, CONSIDER YOURSELF COERCED. Because there's definitely no time like the present.
