When I first arrived at university, everything was surreal and crazy to me

The crazy thing now is how normal it all is.

I sometimes pause and consider how unlikely it is that I came from violence, addiction, crime and almost dying, to being a student in Oxford University.

3 years ago I was still using hard drugs and watching every shadow. Now it's formal dinners, eating stuff like octopus and guineafowl.

Anyhow, have a good day.

Law. More specifically jurisprudence

@Youwereexpectingajoke is jurisprudence the study of court decisions?

Current or past?

It is essentially the philosophy of law. That includes court decisions but also doctrines and general principles.

What I'm doing is pretty much a regular law degree but with a lot more work than in most institutions, and a bigger focus on the why as opposed to merely examing the what.
