Exhaustion but really quite contented.
Friday. friday. friday. It's been a long week since monday rolled around after that awesome concert with Jay and a long work day on Sunday. But i've learnt so much this week, that I feel it was all worth it. It's been only three weeks with the firm, but i feel as if, after this, or rather I am sure after this, this is where I want to be. This is what I want to do. This is what I want to feel. And i'm really quite sure - absolutely utterly sure now even before I finish this last year of law school.
I've seen much (though arguably not enough), I've seen the stuff learnt in school at work, I've been given knowledge that stems from countless years of legal experience, litigation and otherwise. I've had the opportunity to sit in during chambers to listen to learned judges of the High Court of Singapore speak. I've had the benefit of sitting through a High Court trial. I've had the opportunity to play an active role in soo many proceedings and trials. It's unbelievable just reminiscing about all those experiences. I've met people - lawyers who have been around, who have just started. Lawyers who are so talented and amazing BUT yet at the same time, humble without a hint of snoot in them. And its just so......well really, more than anything they astound me and inspire me.
This internship has been both an eye-opening yet humbling, challenging yet fun one for me. I'm rather sad that this has to end though because I know there's still so much in store. So many people to meet. This is the middle of the loop, or so as Monty says. I'm sure now what kind of lawyer I want to be.
Now, i just can't wait for Monday to go back to work. even though I've got a whole weekend of work to plough through and about 4 files of documents to wiggle my way through. That said, I'm ready for law school too and what lies beyond that!
'Cause you take me places that I've never been
I travel the world in your arms and back again
I have no need to wander or go chasing those four winds
'Cause you take me places I've never been
