Super Exciting......

Today, aside from studying, I did something super exciting. I edited a letter that's been sitting in my documents folder for twenty days. I cleaned it up, and printed it out on nice, cream-colored linen paper. I printed a matching envelope out with my address on it. And after my name, I put "Attorney at Law."

Because today I mailed a letter to opposing counsel on behalf of my very first (albeit pro bono) client. I was nice. I was cordial. I was fair. But I was also firm. And I feel awesome. 

Let's not mention the fact that this is the very first time I'm practicing law on someone without any supervision. Or the fact that I am terrified of committing some sort of terrible instance of malpractice. Or the fact that SOMEONE'S LEGAL EXISTENCE IS IN MY HANDS.

Nope, I'm going to focus on the fact that until this letter hits and I get a response, I am the head motherfucker in charge. Then, we'll just have to see how it plays out. Besides, my client knows she's the first person I've represented...

GOD HELP ME 

(and my client)
