Am I a bit peculiar?

This is only a very short post readers, but I think an important one. I arrived at the library on campus today at 09:30. I left for half and hour at lunch to have a coffee and meet my significant other, and had an hour lecture on EC law at 16:00. I did not return home until 19:15. Other than these times I was in the library. And what was I doing in the Library...?

Reading, studying, absolutely loving, and not noticing the time slip away, while immersed in the subject of Trust Law. Now surely this isn't normal behaviour for a law student. Which is why I put the question as the title.

I found my self becoming enthralled with the rights of trustee and beneficiary, the obligations and powers of the trustee, whether there was a fiduciary duty, how trusts are created in wills, and such forth. It hasn't all quite sunk in yet but with more study, I am sure it will. I feel as though it will be the same story as land law last year, gently swimming against the tide of public opinion on my course and being given funny glances when I declare my enjoyment of the subject.

Well to conclude on what has actually become quite a long post, I say this. I care not whether I am thought of as peculiar or not, surely a love for the subject is what drives us to be barristers. What other job are you able to study and apply a subject that utterly fascinates you. Must go, the three certainties await.

HAH!!! I was in the library until half past eleven at night!!!!! (but then I am a bit sad, very deranged and spot welded to my desk!!!!!)Shall we have a contest as to which of us is, in all frankness the most peculiar!??!?

With all respect I will concede to your sepreme peculiararityness (if there is such a word).

I loved Equity and Trusts - which I was totally not expecting as I deplored land law... so I don't think you are peculiar at all! (or logically also means that we are both odd... )

Its Trusts Law - so anytime spent in the library is well worth it. I've just started studying Trusts and I absolutely love it. So far I've only really looked at the Constitution of Trusts and I've read chapters on it in all the leading textbooks and have also read all the leading cases. This is not the case for other subjects I am studying. I hope it goes on!
