I GOT ADMITTED TO THE ROLL OF LEGAL PRACTITIONERS!!!
On Monday I fronted up to the Supreme Court and sat patiently until my gorgeous friend D stood up to move my admission! Basically she had to stand up in front of the Chief Justice and 2 other Judges, plus about 30 other barristers/solicitors etc and tell the Court that I'm awesome and have done everything I need to do to be admitted onto the roll!
Lucky for me it all went smoothly and D did a fantastic job!!
After the Chief Justice accepted our application to be admitted, we had to swear ourselves in. After the 30 or so new lawyers had mumbled their way through the oath, we went outside to sign the roll!!
Dad took this photo of me whilst I was signing the roll! D was able to give us the heads up that the signing took place in a particular little room and that there were glass panels so Dad got in nice and early to make sure he captured the moment!!
After that we took some photos outside the Court room!!
It is obligatory to have a photo with the statue below when you become admitted! D told me that her and her boss took a photo with both their hands up in the air after her admission a few years back and that it is now hanging on their notice board at work!
After the ceremony, D and I went to lunch to celebrate. It was also a little way for me to say thank you to her for jumping up in front of the Court and applying for me!
That night Mum, Dad, my pseudo Mum Elaine and I went to Gambaros to celebrate my admission!
My pseudo Mum Elaine and my pseudo Dad Pete (whom you may have read about below) liked to impart knowledge, wisdom, experiences and habits on to my brother and I! One such habit is the calling of Crepes Suzette as Creepy Suzies!! We've been to Gambaros many times before and their creepy suzies are amazing!!
When the waitress asked what I wanted for desert I said "creepy suzies" not even thinking about the fact that that is not what they're actually called. She had no idea what I was talking about and I, for the life of me, could not remember what they're really called!! OOPS! How embarrassing!! Needless to say pseudo mummy thought it was HILARIOUSLY FUNNY!!
They certainly lived up to expectations!! I even took a photo and sent it to my brother who is currently on holidays in Canada!! He wasn't very impressed!! haha
This is the outfit I wore to dinner:
Please note the shoes!! They are the new loves of my life and that was their first outing!! A close up of my newly purchased DVF's:
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! CANNOT GET ENOUGH!! And they were sooooo cheap! So double score!!
I will do a follow up post at some point on these babies... after all shoes definitely fall into the category of "Things I Love". Stay tuned!
xx love Breanna
