The return.
the return.
It is ironic, how my first entry in a long time is written in the firm. Life is indeed full of surprises.
I had expected sleepless nights and endless work, content with prospect for some free time to perhaps catch a breather or two. Little did I expect my own office (for unbridled privacy and freedom to surf), my pupil master to be this taciturn lady renown in the firm as a kind and motherly person. And the surprising (and somewhat disturbing) lack of work. Granted, I do not know much of warrants, and the theortical aspects of M&A glenned from school and Investopedia does not really give me any right to partake in any deals. Nevertheless, I feel SO left out, when everyone is running around in their own pool of work, and there I am twiddling pens in my office. Looking out at the sea and the uncompleted casino. Life is good. Too good. So good it bores. Amen.
I get off at 6, shapr. Earlier than those pple at Corp and IPT!
Where is the adrenaline boost of a 24hr deal? There, beneathe the surface of this peace, behind the closed doors of my mentor's room, beyond the reach of me, the uninitiated. Sigh
the bomb.
Paul Ali tried to contact me. Apparrently my paper scored tops, and he wants to publish it. Way cool! Super excited. Watch out for my name in the latest copy of Company and Securities Law Journal. Woohoo. A pity I am not really doing project finance - it would have been a better feather on my cap, rather than merely one denoting "academic interest". Anne is doing it in Baker.... envy.
the trip.
It seems like a dream, how a coupla weeks back I was traipsing around Roma, leading the carefree life. Not entirely a mid-summer night's dream, yet magical in its own right.
- Mystical Pompeii and breathtaking Capri in Sorrento, Napoli
- Ancient Roma and awesome Vaticano
- Bewitiching Venizia and charming Firenze
- Spectacular Barcelona and intoxicating Granada
- Rustic Ronda and exotic Seville
--> Too lazy and busy to sort out the photos; suffice to say I have a lot.
Travelling with the gals was an experience. Never again. But in all fairness, it was fun.
Chockful of interesting happenings, like the night of sweaty knees, and clubbing in Barcelona.
Despite the whinning, the tension, the harrowing exprience of almost-missing the plane - all these added up really spiced up the trip.
The trip would have been simply "good" without these memories to spice it all up. Now it resides in my brain, immemorable and impactful. "Excellent".
Grazie, Sheryl, Gracie and Cara, travel companions extraordinaire. Wont trade you gals for any guys.
Tempers will still flare with male companions, but hey, with you gals I get free discounts!
the office.
I am the only one given an office. I think my mentor has a lot of clout to wield around to get me one. Mucho gracias.
