today was day two of my a&g internship. and time just flew past me quickly again! i was reminded of the times when i was writing my memorial and time never seemed enough for me to complete it. and here it was yet again! except that now it was just a series of smaller points of law. but then it is equally frustrating when ur chasing down dead ends! looking up hansards which dun give what u want, searching for minor points which u know by common sense but which have no authorities to back up, and being unable to find old cases and legislation which u need..

but still the internship has been an exceptional experience these two days. my mentor and the lawyers i'm working under are extremely willing to teach, and i'm learning a lot from them. i sat in at my first client meeting today.. and honestly i'm a bit scared that i'll never be able to grasp the law so firmly to give advice off the top of my head, and that i'll never be able to speak well and build rapport with the clients. but i guess that is worry for later.. and it would probably come with experience. right now i'm pretty much enjoying myself, and i really want to excel in what i'm doing. haven't felt like this in a long time.
