People say they attending law school – I say – I am surviving through it…..
The Author before being a NUALSian preferred talking about morals, values and mannerisms and was a religious person, – was a book worm – was a communist and had a scarce interest in what he was wearing or how he looked.
6 months later – His day starts at 9.00 – his breakfast misses him, goes to college – takes strategic naps during certain hourly horrors called “lectures” – fights with my besties, smokes daily, talks about licentious things …And the only book read in the last semester was… well er…
Lesson – NUALS for me is all about change. For instance, I wanna become a corporate Lawyer with panache ( and yes please forget about my communalistic intentions. It tends to make me utterly Hippocratic). Law School for me is not (only) about learning law but also to grow up. Its about me falling down, everyone does – but Its also about how fast I can dust myself and get up. Respect here in NUALS is not earned by being the person who never did, saw or heard wrong – its kept for those who can face adversities, deal with them and turn it in their favor.
Life here at NUALS can drag…..endlessly…..more than TV Serials…it can. Best Option- get a girl (lose your life), get addicted to something (ruin your life), or like the author – laze around and see life unfurling around you ;)
