When I was in law school, it was said more than once that the experience was supposed to break you down and rebuild you in the image of a lawyer. Your thought process would change and you would view the world differently. I never bought into that theory. I thought it was just an excuse for professors to harangue their students with socratic nonsense and feel the better for it. I felt no more lawyery coming out than going in. With this job though, I can see it happening. Maybe I'm just a slow learner, perhaps I was supposed to have gone through this in law school. I'm parsing language for commas, trying to draft sentences with purposeful language. And in a brief shining moment on Friday, I actually believed I might know what I was doing. However, there was a big possibility it was combination of Mountain Dew and birthday cake that brought that on. I'm leaning towards that version. In the meantime, I'll keep slogging and hoping that the language is altering my brain for the good.
