BF2S Forums 6th Anniversary of BF2 - What have you been doing all this time?

i don't really know how to list a life, let alone once since bf2, but

finished normal education (e.g. gcse's + a-levels)
still played quite a lot of video-games, e.g. tf2 competitively, final few days of very casual warcraft
moved away from home
began uni
didn't really play much except tf2 casually and dabbling in some new big games/mmo's - mostly all rubbish
moved in with girl
broke up with girl and moved out
did nothing except party and kill myself slowly for a year
drug problems
drama, eviction, breakdown, arrest
moved into other house
met a better, perfect girl
sorted myself out
finished uni top of class
offered scholarship and places to world top10 unis
accepted free scholarship
by this point hardly playing any games in the last 2 years, same as at start of uni - trying big titles e.g. bc2, starcraft 2, but not really hooking me

ta-da.

Last year of school, went to University, finished University, joined the army, travelled overseas, started second degree, wept.

Still waiting for the fucking camera.

where are you at? a&o? i've got a friend a year older than me that graduated from oxford with a double-first in jurisprudence and is now at the college of law and working for clifford chance. he's hating life but i'm pretty sure he's going to enjoy his well-earned asian romp soon, too. stick at it fella, you'll be smoking fine international bitches and driving ryan dunn's salvaged porsche in no time.

You can tell your friend my godfather just retired from Clifford Chance at 54 after being out in tax decent Singapore for the last 20 years. Is he doing his GDL at the College of law? I'll be doing my LPC at Holbourn and apparently it's a pile of poo.

Internship and hopefully job (touch wood) with DLA Piper (American). Not biggest by revenue but biggest by size (70 offices globally). http://www.dlapiper.com/

Definitely will be applying to Clifford Chance for a training contract.

You're at UCL uzi?

no i'm just about to defer entry from there because their 20th-21st century stuff is a bit poo.

good luck with LPC, stressful investment

My twin is there.

Cheers bud.

i really don't know wtf to make of league rankings or reputations anymore.

I take all those rankings with a pinch of salt after the head of my law school told our year to vote 'excellent' for every category of the national student survey. My brother loves UCL and the times I've been I've had a blast although it's very different from Exeter.

i'm in leafy surrey and it feels like shanghai at times. pretty sure that's something you're going to get at any prestigious uk uni now-- especially with the new fees / money-making treadmill. i forgot you were at exeter, thought you were at st.andrews for some reason (confusing with other scandinavian scum jensperm). s'all good, all 1994 grp.
