Da Art of Storytellin'

Dear law school,

When I started I thought I knew you. Those first couple weeks was probably the most exhilerating learning experience of my life. And then after about two months of learning and getting a feeling of all the different subjects, it was contracts that caught my heart. And the more I got to know contracts, the more I liked it. And after first year, I had this feeling in my heart that I wanted to get involved with contract law.

And then year two started and my fondness for contracts morphed into corporate law, and I was pretty certain that corporate law was where I wanted to be. But then shortly after year two began, intellectual property came on the scene and caused my focus to waiver. But after trying ip for a while I knew it was something that I didn't see myself in, so I went back into focusing in corporate law. Unfortunatly ip never really left me alone and even though I thought corporate law was cool, the first signs of being a confused law student came to light around Feb. Corporate law which had transitioned to securities law ended up being more difficult then I had prepared for. And even though I studied as hard as I could and put forward my best effort, I had to question if securities law was really what I wanted to do.

So after my second year I decided to take a look at litigation and to my surprise it was something that I kind of liked. It offered new challeneges and experiences and even though I still liked corporate law I thought that I should at least give litigation a chance. But then just when I thought I had it all figured out, my new found love for litigation came to a halt, all while my previous confusion between ip and corporate law came back to light.

So then as law school was coming to an end and taking some days off to go skiing and play some hockey to see if I could figure it all out. I came to the conclusion that I pretty much hate IP, my heart was never really in litigation, and corporate law will always be cool, but that's about it.

In the end, it turns out that my heart was with international law all along.
