So I tagged along with a friend of mine to two of his law lectures this afternoon and it was AWESOME. He was warning me that they recently had a change in lecturers and that both were relatively monotonous/unengaging... but whoa, either he was totally wrong or his other lecturers are just beyond brilliant cos I found the two today great! I must have taken about four pages of notes for each lecture (active listening!). Both criminal law and public law were super interesting, and even though I didn't have any background or context, I could totally follow along and appreciate what they were talking about.
And when he started talking about how one of their assignments is to go to the High Court and argue a 'Plea of Mitigation'... oh man, seriously. *sigh*...
Granted, this is probably 80% Grass-Is-Greener-On-The-Other-Side Syndrome, but I really do miss law. My first love. Medicine is great, no regrets whatsoever, but you never forget your first love... No matter how hard you try. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. :)

ahh it's your first love, no wonder!
economics/commerce was my first love, and i still love it hehe.
I think the great thing about med is that we do what we love but we can also devote our time to other things that we love eg law, literature etc, whereas a lawyer who was interested in med probably won't be able to do the same?!
I dunno, maybe I'm just biased.
Oh my goodness, totally. Medicine keeps all these really cool options open if we really wanted to persue it later on in life.
When I was in Seattle I tagged along with a friend of mine to her Economics lecture at the University of Washington and I found it pretty darn interesting too!! It was about labour markets/work force.
... but it'll always be law for me. :) Can you imagine only have two days of lectures and then just reading the rest of the week? Nice! Well, I reckon it is... LoL.
