For those of you who don't already know, I work a lot. It is par for the course when you are an articling student I guess. I would rather be doing personal stuff instead of work, just like anyone else. Yet despite the typical groan when I realize that my weekend will be full of CPLED or some other form of legal drafting I become mentally engaged with my work and find myself enjoying all that I do.
One surprising side effect of articling is how my transformation into a full lawyer is affecting other areas of my life.
Thus, a top 10 list:
1. I asked my wedding reception venue whether or not my deposit was going to be held in trust, and said I would give authority to co-mingle.
2. I get really excited when talking about the British reality series, "Heir Hunter" that follows companies trying to find the rightful heir to small intestate fortunes.
3. I talk of agreements in my sleep.
4. I am currently trying to enter negotiations to reduce the price of my wedding dress.
5. Three words: Free Juice Fridge!
6. I speak of CPLED as if it is a disease I caught, and that with treatment it should go away in a few more months.
7. I am more excited to remain on "competency demonstrated" island, than I am about a clean house (the more competent I am, the more likely I can hire a cleaner).
8. I have lunch dates every day for the next two weeks.
9. I only log on to Facebook 3 times per day.
and finally, how you know I am continuing this legal transition...
10. I laughed my ass of at Matt and Angela's wedding, when Matt's lawyer parents gave the following speech:
"When Ingrid and I were in law school, we decided to open a file together. His name was Matt. Hopefully in a few years Matt and Angela will open up a few sub-folders."
