Some Things to Say

There are a couple of things I want to write about in this post. Somehow I could not give a summary of the content in the title, as I usually do because of the randomness. So this post is just titled "something to say".

Tomorrow
I'm going to Toronto to watch adriana moot tomorrow. I'm quite excited about it as it'd be the first national moot competition that I would be watching and of course, I get to see adriana in action and give her my minimal support.
Somehow being some sort of privy to this competition has renewed my interest in moot. I have the urge to pick up mooting again. Being able to present an argument in a limited time, being able to master relevant authorities, being able to respond directly and accurately to questions, and above all being articulate are essential skills. I don't think I realised the importance of moot in first year and was so sloppy in my work. Stupid me.

Anyway, when she heard that I'll be going to Toronto tomorrow, Anne-sofie asked me to help her return her boots and get a refund. She started off by saying that I should not feel bad about saying no. Well, of course I'll feel bad if it is within my ability to help but I refuse to help because of the inherent trouble and inconvenience. I decided to help anyway as it means she can get back CAD 70 if I am willing to carry the boots and help her to return it. Since she has the courage to ask, I'll pick up the request. I don't think I'll be able to bring myself to do that if I were in her shoes.

CLS
Duty at the cls went fine. The life of the potential lady client is so dysfunctional that it is quite incredible. She was so candid and apparently non-chalant about the dysfunctionality of her children that at the back of my mind I was wondering if it bothers her at all.
Anyway, the interview and the discussion with deanna went fine and I'm starting to feel abit more confident about handling the file on my own. I felt much better about cls today.
