ROAD TRIP! - 5/2/11

Today was not an ordinary day at all. Immediately when I arrived at the office, one of the law clerks told me that we need a few documents filed in the Piatt county's court system. I figured this was a normal task, just running to our court house and back, that is until she said she was going to print out google map instrustions of how to get to Monticello! I have never driven anywhere farther then the distance in Champaign-Urbana by myself before, so I was a little nervous. Luckily I had my own GPS system because I was driving my mom's car. The drive was super easy and went a lot quicker then I expected. I've driven longer distances then that before, but I have never traveled by myself so I was happy that I was able to get there so easily. Monticello is really small and old and their courthouse was tiny compared to ours! They have like 5 people working in their circuit clerk's office as compared to the many people working in Urbana's. I successful got the documents stamped, signed, and filed and was back in the office in just a little over an hour. I really enjoyed this task and I would be glad to travel for the office soon!
