The after class buzz that won't let me just go home and go to bed, even though I know I have to get up early for work, it's almost like an electric current running through me. That is a part of law school that I treasure. The intellectual stimulation, the challenge, the debate, the discussion of the case, the underlying law, the logic, or at least the search for it-all of it. Love it. And I'll miss it when it's done, I know. One of the reasons I should have gone to law school when I was a newly minted college graduate, and yet one of the reasons I am getting so much more out of law school now than I would have then.
There is a maturing of the intellect that while it may impede my ability to memorize and recite, it enhances and enriches the understanding, the adoption and assimilation of the new idea.
I will never get over this love of learning, and I am grateful for that.
