While things haven't been great home-wise, things are going well work-wise. Yesterday I made my first application to a Judge in Chambers, only a week after being called to the bar. As far as I know, I'm the first of my batch to have done so, which is kinda cool in itself. I was proud that Boss thought I had what it took to make the application. I wasn't as nervous as I expected and despite not knowing what to say while I was preparing myself, in Chambers, I was suddenly reminded of my advocacy training. In a nutshell, it went well.

But the bitch in me cannot help gloating at the look on VR's face when the rest of the team were wishing me luck on my application and he realised that I had been asked to appear before a judge and basically had just one-upped him. So there for all his competitiveness at the Firm!

ps. I finally got my own namecard yesterday too! I never thought I would be this excited over a bit of paper :)
