Episode 7: The (great) month of October

And so commences the great month of October with just under 12 weeks to the end of 2007. See how time flies. We are now in the final quarter of the year.

This October is extra special because it will be the first time celebrating my birthday away from home.

My birthday is tomorrow and unfortunately, it is a school day. But, today, after school, I went to do some shopping for my own birthday presents, with the permission from my mum to use the supplementary credit card she applied for me.

So, what did I buy? Well, 2 books (1 law text for reference and 1 book on classical music) from Borders and 2 British legal drama DVDs from HMV. All these were bought along Oxford Street.

I have just watched one episode from one of the DVDs. My comments? Well, I think English legal dramas are different from the American ones we commonly see on TV such as Ally McBeal or The Practice. The reason for buying these DVDs is to expose myself to British advocacy and also consider whether this is the kind of work I like to do in the future - speaking and persuading the court as an adovocate for my client.

Yap, that's about it for now...
