LOVE FOR ART
When I was in college, I had a friend who came from a family of attorneys. They had been hoping she would study law, but she had always had a love for art and she decided to go to art school instead. Which is where I met her. I had a bunch of painting classes with her, and even though she was clearly happy with her decision to pursue an art degree, she could not help but talk about any and all things law-related. Her father and grandmother practiced as personal injury attorneys in San Diego, so there was never a shortage of crazy stories she had to entertain us with. All she seemed to talk about was the bizarre things that people seemed to come up with to sue each other about. The vast majority of cases that her relatives were approached with were turned down right away for one reason or another. I think the funniest part of listening to her never-ending stories about clients and lawyers was the fact that I never grew tired of hearing them. Even though we both loved art and were happy painting our days away, having a distraction like that always helped.
