just had my first OLA duty. spent the morning reviewing my cases, texting my clients and revising my legal forms (didnt get to interview an applicant but i did have a few minutes of phone duty). in the afternoon, i went to the marikina RTC to confirm my hearing date. and then, by late afternoon, it rained, i didnt have change for a jeepney ride when i was heading home, was forced to buy merienda to get some loose change (which is really irritating since im on a very tight budget), and a bit earlier before that, had bad news from a client since the recommended action on the case didnt work. and right now, the neighbor on the other side of street is banging very loudly on what sounds like a gate for reasons i could only assume to be...well, unreasoble. the day started ok and then it became tiring, then a bit depressing. but i really dont feel that bad. i like OLA. now law school and all its difficult stuff have some sense to it.
