how come everyone seems to know me but i don't know them?!?!
anyway i think my mentor thinks i'm very lazy/dumb because i've not been seeing her at all, and i think i've been quite rude. she's an incredibly nice person though, and treated me to a huge japanese lunch (at a restaurant complete with japanese waitresses and hot towels, etc) which i barely touched. i felt so bad that i tried cramming sashimi in my mouth and all sorts of raw creatures so all the money wouldn't go to waste. i also kept giving her incredibly stupid answers; i think my iq has seriously fallen! i told her that yes i'm unmotivated and lazy and don't know what i want in life, etc. BAD, BAD MOVE. let's just say there were lots of awkward silences.
i've been working on another case with two other lawyers (one hilarious male deputy director, one female associate) and a guy who just graduated and is currently serving his pupillage here, and who has been really helpful so far. but then again, i've been assisting them a fair bit and i wish i could just join them and attend their court trials instead of waiting for my mentor to think of something for me to do.
i've come to the conclusion that what i want to be when i grow up is a MALE LAWYER. the nice, funny and witty ones who actually talked to me about fun things were the male ones. the female ones just stared at me and asked me why i was there. and gosh, they're vain and talk with accents! to be honest, it's been ages since i last spoke to a girl/woman properly, and i'm generally quite wary of women. my mum noticed that all the people i'm chummy with tend to be guys, but i really can't help it, i just feel most comfortable with them, and i'm the most honest with them. and i'm beginning to realise that it's not just at school, but basically everywhere else.
anyway the whole of today was spent sieving through 7 massive ring-binders' worth of paperwork, and facilitating the legal process of discovery.
typical line:
'Save as hereinbefore expressly admitted, the Plaintiffs deny each and every allegation in the Counterclaim as if the same were herein set out seriatim and specifically transversed'.
ok it's raining and i'm going to leave the office in a while.

i'm truly exhausted. what wouldn't i give to just collapse onto my bed, in my work clothes, and just fall asleep instantly? and
even better: have someone gently give me a shower, dress me in comfy clothes and brush my hair until i go to sleep purring, happy, content? my eyelids are trembling, my neck and shoulders hurt, and everything requires more effort.
you know what's really strange? ( ... )
