An Affair to Remember

This seems to be an extremely shady title for a post about a mere law school committee, but to me, the Cultural and Fine Arts Committee has always been more than that. While I wouldn't go as far as to say that it defined my identity in law school, it has become very much a part of my life. Apart from being the first place in law school where I felt I truly belonged, it has helped me develop an understanding of my own shortcomings and has surprised me by helping me bring out my strenghts and has stood by me as something I could always fall back on...the eternal thing that I was always good at. I have never had so much satisfaction and pure pleasure from working for anything else; undoubtedly there have been stressful periods, politics, tiring, mundane tasks and moments where I felt like giving it all up. But my basic love for what the committe did, and what a committee like it could do made me continue. I sincerely hope that at the end of my three years, especially last year, that the seeds have been sown to make law school a more wholesome and entertaining place.

Things I will not miss about CulComm:
1. Having to curse a fairly nice thing like rain all the time. I can finally appreciate rain again.
2. Running behind sponsors. I am an absolute child of the corporate world, but these companies should really be nicer to us!
3. Dealing with univ week politics across all batches - enough to drive anyone insane.

Things I will miss about CulComm:
1. Waiting for a Quad Party to take off and playing whatever music I like in the mean time on the speakers.
2. The sheer delight of watching a large scale event that you have organised come together.
3. Having the authority to make shady comments on the mike, for all events.

Through all the years in law school, CulComm has been a constant companion (I know this sounds ridiculous, but it is true). It is something I could put my heart and soul into when all other opportunities were bleak, something which constantly challenged me to expand my vision (promoting cultural awareness in a cynical place like law school is not easy) and something which allowed me to fully realise my creative potential. It is something I have loved and will greatly miss. Here's raising a toast to three of the best years of my life and all the laughter, tears and wonderful friends made.
