Yeah I have no idea. I'm pretty lucky to live in the centre of a big city, so I don't have big variable bills like petrol. Even yesterday, I noticed that in the bast three weeks the cost of an apple at the supermarket has risen from like, 13p to 35p. It's a bloody apple!!

Uhm well I have to complete my pupillage first, which involves working with senior barristers in quite a few (related) areas of the law. I imagine it'll be tax or trusts or possibly real property in the end, though. That is, unless I get monster scholarships to do my LLM.
And I've long since given up trying to understand Americans. :P I guess being a Canadian, I just take progressive taxation as a fact of life.
