Playing Lawyer

So I started my internship on Monday, which means I have a month left before going back to the best city in the world. Within the first 5 minutes of getting there, I got assigned a presentation on American Labor Laws on the assumption that I am a law student. Guess Cornell didnt really explain that while I know labor and labor law, I am certainly NO lawyer. With the exception of this summer that is. Trying to tell them that I cant actually practice law didnt really get across, so with that, Im faking it till I make it and am pretty sure Ill pull it off. I mean, its not like theyll know more than what Wikipedia and old blackboard notes wont sell. And if theres anything I can do, its sell a delivery. 

Other than getting thrown into that, I was taken to court proceedings, brought into meetings with clients, and offered to learn how to drive manual in India. All the mean time, everything goes on in a language I dont understand (well, for the most part at least), but reading people never fails to help put together a conversation. The younger associates are really nice and friendly. Yay office friends! 

Ive also taken to going to get coffee at the one "european" coffee place in the city and surely enough, I am the only person there getting coffee. Granted, the price for a coffee at this place is way more than an average Indian can afford but sue me, I require caffeine to start my day.

And to mom & dad, no, there are no pictures of me at work because I am older than 5 and this is not like my first day of kindergarten. My apologies.
