NMLB!!!!!!

It's the second day of school today, well second day for me..and second day of the second week for everyone else. Haven't seen many others in school yet, but I'm sure I would in time to come:) Can't believe how quickly time flew through summer - it's been three weeks since I last got back to Melbourne for exams and I've already three weeks at drew, now I'm here. Sitting this apartment of mine that my cousin and I call home for the better part of the year. 

Summer was truly a blast and though i could possibly go on and on about how much I miss work now, how much I wonder the stuff I'm doing is going to be relevant to practice in the future..I can it's better to tell you about the experience.

I spent the last three weeks in Drew getting one of those once in a lifetime experiences that I swear changed my life forever. I spent the first 2 days learning and the 13 days after just doing. This is what I've learnt though:

1. I do not mind the amounts of paperwork that come with construction claims
   
2. I very much enjoy the challenges of going through numbers and the technicalities that come with construction
   
3. I appreciate the intricacies of litigation and am quite certain that it is what I want to do
   
4. I know what kind of work environment that I would love to work in - the work your ass off but play like crazy kind.
   
5. I want to do B & C and I have to start off at a medium to large firm to get decent exposure
   
6. The importance of being patient and be willing to teach

And out of all these things, perhaps the most important thing is that I've found friends or mentors rather. Friends who have gone through and are very much willing to help me out - go out of their way to help me. There's really nothing else to say but thank you to D&N's B&C team.

So to say that I'm blessed is an understatement, fortunate and truly blessed would be a better way to describe it. And of course, having spent the last few days of summer getting to know one of the few people whom I'm starting to come to appreciate more and more has truly been one of those "I can't believe that I can be that lucky" things.

So that said.. I'm still settling in, but I've got all my books, reading guides, tutorial booklets and the fridge is stacked with food except my suitcase is still half unpacked. I've got permission from my housemate (ala my cousin) to leave it out for awhile (I've got too many things, that I admit!). I'm pretty much ready to begin working hard for the next two weeks at least till my ass gets itself to gold coast for the easter weekend!

Time for admin. and i just joined a "I heart Kwame" group on Facebook. ha. Career hazard.

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.
