Firstly, I'd like to thank everyone who left me a message last time, especially those who came out of the woodwork to do it. I really miss you guys. Please tell me how you've been.
Secondly, I'd like to welcome someone:
Hello,
Welcome to LJ.
So, one more exam and this semester will officially be over. And I'll be another half a year closer to collecting my law degree and joining the rush of people who pack peak-hour trains and run on endless cups of coffee... oh wait, I already do that.
And I love it.
I really enjoyed this semester. I loved being at law school. I don't want to go back to main campus. I like being in the heart of the city, surrounded by shops and being never more than a 2 minute walk away from good coffee & good food. I like having class in basement classrooms with no reception, no wireless coverage and squeaky swivel chairs.
I like law school. I love law. Even while snowed under with assignments and exams, I knew I was exactly where I wanted to be. Making the switch 3 years ago is probably the best decision I've made to date. I know I dallied over whether I wanted to pursue commerce or law as a career for a while, but I've never been more certain that law is the path I want and will take. Graduating from commerce this year was my revelation. Walking up to the podium to collect my degree, the relief I felt of never having to take another commerce subject again - who was I kidding? It's been law since Year 5 and it will be law for the rest of my life, if I can help it.
So I've decided. Summer clerkship applications open next month, and I will be putting them in like a woman possessed! I'm into my penultimate year now; I can almost smell the pressed suits, hear the high heels and see the morning coffee queues.
I'm excited.
