Today was my last tutorial of the autumn term and generally I'm happy its over. This term has been really good and I have enjoyed the teaching so much but I really hate the commute. Next year will be even better as the course looks at what I find interesting in EU law and so I guess I will be more eager to go to teach and possibly not mind the commute as much.
I also received my dissertation grade and final mark for the masters. I got an overall 2.1 for the masters but a 1st in the dissertation which I'm so happy about. I really didn't think that the masters would ever end but I think with the grade I received I can finally close the page on that era of my life. So whats next? I don't know. And this subject has been bugging me like hell. I can now officially apply to Helsinki which is good but the waiting will probably do my head in. Maybe I'll just have to try not to think about it.


I have also been reading a manuscript for someone at Helsinki which has been quite good (despite the moaning). It feels good that finally I am being rewarded for the work I have put into law and the masters. I am roughly half way through the work and I really have to get it done before next week.

Back to the teaching, its been such a learning curve... I have to know the subject so well and Its weird to go back and learn a subject so well. I have had to 'crack' certain cases and areas that I have always ignored or avoided so its refreshing to not be afraid and confident about the subject as a whole.
