the law school diaries

Dear God,

I'm throwing my (white) hat in. This is it. I'm ready to lose sight of the shore. This is the all or nothing part. I submit myself to your jurisdiction. Your will be done.

I don't know what sort of satisfaction you get from seeing me fail and fall. But i suppose if it makes you happier this way, so be it.

Now I'm in the race. Whatever the reason, the purpose or motivation...so be it. Perhaps it was your will that that happened last Saturday.

This is the moment. You know very well that when I say all or nothing, nothing means failure. and with failure comes extinguish-ment  of (my) life with the speediest most humane way possible.

If this is my purpose, if this should be my goal...whatever it is that you will...no more questions.

Please guide me, please give me the focus that so eludes me, please give me happiness. please give me love. please give me peace...

Thank you.

xo,
L

i'd tell myself to study well, not make a habit of being mediocre, not be afraid of being successful, not be afraid of winning, not to rush things, believe in myself, trust my instincts, and save myself for the one.

from a text message

1. SUGGESTED readings are MANDATORY
2. You can know everything yet still fail an exam or recitation
3. All your classmates are brilliant. Others just aren't studying.
4. Teachers are impressed with no one.
5. Your best efforts could still get a 5.0.
6. Every class is like a thesis defense: its not enough that you understand; you have to know how to explain it as well.
7. Your humility is inversely proportional to your year level.


--- i just wanna add something:

Law students have no time for LOVE. especially the guys. sosyal ka pag nakapanligaw ka pa, when all your money goes to photocopies and books, how in the world can you save enough money for dates? gifts? flowers?

:)

got home at 6:00am...
slept till 10am...

read property...

went to school, briefly attended the law review meeting to redistribute the edited cases...

thank you karen for allowing me to tambay at the sc office. was joined later by albie. i was not going to attend the moot court meeting. but i learned from mico we will be given our assessment that day...so, albie and i attended na din, while reading the civil code.

tied up with albie for best position paper...hahum...(in fairness, i really don't know how to make a position paper--the form, i do not know)...placed third in over-all applicant ranking and got a cadbury candy. yippee...

5:00pm exam at property...

extremely relieved at the brevity of the exam, but quite annoyed that i didn't prepare that much for the cases tudies. damn. they had more credit than the objective ones...

please, let me pass....

finished after an hour. went to the sc office...had a great time chillaxing with sis kat, sis marj and her classmates, eric, sarah and matt...dumating din si charlie...

taz, sabay sabay na kami lumabas ng school...

then off to savory for me, sis kat, bro dante and his classmates.

got home at about 2:30am.
