Short of nothing.

I've finished packing to head back in an hour which is pretty amazing by my standards and at the end of it all, I'm nothing but thankful for these last few months. Or even better, I'm utterly thankful for these last 4 weeks. I very much think it was a nudge to push me in the right direction - i know now, I want to practice law. I know now too, that i want to be a good enough lawyer such that people will want to learn from me. Learn from my experiences, learn the way I speak to clients and handle matters. Learn that though my life surrounds the practice of law, it is not the be all and end all. There is still room for family, for drinks, for mulling sessions over kopi, for giving interns space to learn and experience new things. There is nothing else to say to Monty, Michael, Alfred and Nick but merci merci beaucoup.

I can't even come to express how much I admire them - though they are not famous lawyers, though they don't belong to the magic circle of law firms...they are very very good lawyers, unique and experienced in their very own way.

I've learnt more than I possibly have in the last 4 weeks than all 4 years of law school combined. I've been given the benefit of clarity as to the direction and where I want to go. I've been given the benefit of sound, wise advice. I've had so much laughter and there's nothing more really to say, but thank you very much.

I was actually really upset that I had to leave the firm, i felt as if I could be content there forever. Being a member of Clifford Law.

But now, as i head back to Civil Procedure - gah..i know it's for that greater goal in the end.

whee.

I'm a very lucky cow.
