GDL Crisis!

My first post is going to be a rant. I apologise profusely.

So having paid an extortionate amount of money (strictly speaking my bank did) to study at a world class institution in London for just under a year, I find myself midway through my GDL exams and wondering if I will make it. Realising a little too late that there may not have been much law in any of the exams I just took, makes for uncomfortable scrutiny.

I'm one of those people who actually has to study and knows this but would rather do anything else. Not the makings of a good lawyer I know. I am quite new to this studying lark (my first degree ended in 2000 and second a few years after) so I'm not completely academically challenged. Although judging by some of my mock test and coursework results...

My own fault really. I stupidly got contractually bound to do a project whilst on the course that meant my concentration was divided between that and learning the law. Yes, they tell you 'do nothing but this course for the next 9 months'. I thought I could handle it, how wrong was I? I will admit to embarking on the course with the wrong attitude:

'what do solicitors do again?'
Probably explains why I ended up doing a lastminute BVC application.

Do I want sympathy or a way out? All I've been thinking is I should quit. Go back to my previous job and leave the law to the youngsters and those who have just graduated but act like youngsters!

I mean how can I make it when I still say walkman instead of mp3 player?

Bar-barella
