I know I haven't written anything in two weeks. Between taking care of a puppy and starting a new internship I am le tired. But I took a nap, and now I'm ready to fire our....er....I'm ready to write a little bit.
So the internship is...interesting. I like the people I work with, and because it's a really small office I get to talk to all four people whenever I want. I've been learning data entry and how to write a proper letter to clients and colleagues. I'm really good at setting margins for letterhead. I'm also being trained to do intake interviews. The best question I got today was "Are there free lawyers for, like, copyright and stuff?" Uh...no. They get paid way too much to do that for free. Also, I don't know how many times I'm going to end up saying, "I'm not an attorney and there are no attorneys on our staff, so we're not equipped to answer legal questions..."
I think that this experience is going to be completely different from what a legal internship is supposed to be. I'm not in an office doing research. Instead I'm seeing the process of the law, starting at the intake, and ending at the guardianship hearing. Or mortgage foreclosure mediation. Or estate settlement.
I miss you much, Baby B, and I hope you're having fun in Chitown. Wish you were here!
Love,
Manda
