Today we had the first of many trainings in the library. We were taken around in small groups by legal librarians and they began to teach us how to do legal research. We were then given a problem (mine was whether you can try a juvenile as an adult for burglary in Arizona) and let loose into the stacks to research the answer.
This is when I had what is possibly one of my biggest dork moments to date (though I guess that’s always debatable. I’ve got lots).
“Oh, it’s like a scavenger hunt!” I exclaimed.
It wasn’t until after the words came out of my mouth that I realized just how ridiculous that statement was. Even more ridiculous was the fact that this was exclaimed. Happily. Equating legal research with joy.
Maybe I’ve just been out of the library for too long or maybe this reveals that I honestly really like research. In any case, now it's out in the open. And while I could be embarrassed, I am going to choose to be proud. Proud if for no other reason than that I realize much of the next chapter of my life is going to be centered around this research, so I better learn to embrace the inner (and blatantly outer) dorkiness ☺
