WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16

Today was not the most eventful of days, however, it was far different from most spent at Follmer Law Offices. On monday Kent had asked me if I would mind driving to Decatur to pick up a file from another lawyer that Kent was taking over a case for. I didn't mind at all so we planned for me to make the trip on tuesday. However, I completely forgot that I had a business club field trip to Chicago that day and so my trip was postponed until today. I arrived at my placement, spoke to Kent, and then left for Decatur right away. Follmer Law Offices paid me gas money for the trip but Kent said that they would just bill the client for the cost. It was a boring drive there, nothing to eventful. Of course as soon as I thought I knew where I was going I got lost. I wandered around the general area of the supposed law office for about 10 minutes until I found someone who looked intelligent and asked him where the office was. He pointed me in the right direction and I finally found it. Kent had given me a small box cart to carry the files on, because he said that there would be a lot and they would be too heavy for me to carry, but I forgot it in the car so the lawyer there let me use his for the trip back down to my car. There were two huge boxes of paperwork pertaining to the case, which had already been going on for over 5 years and had switched between several different lawyers. I returned to Follmer Law Offices where I unloaded the files and returned the box cart. By this time it was already 4:30 and everyone left for the day, including myself.
