First Day High

June 16, 2009

So that’s how my first day gonna be.

Yesterday was my first day back to school. Unlike my first days in elementary, high school, and college, this one was filled both with excitement and anxiety. The other levels were easy, relatively. From elementary to college, there was continuity. No 5-year break. I had to study, just that. I was excited to finally be in law school again, and this may be one step forward, hoping I would not step back. I felt anxiety that I have already  lost the ability to think critically. And more anxiety that I cannot manage my time.

Our block met one of our professors, when we all think it was just going to be a classroom orientation. She decided to stay for more than an hour, spending time discouraging us all. Isn’t that nice? haha. She reiterated several times that you must not be in law school just because someone wants you to be in law school or because you are there in a whim. She has a point that whatever career we pursue should be the one that we really want. Then again, there are really good lawyers who didn’t want to be lawyers, initially or perpetually. But this is what I want. Many said that it was their childhood dream. It was mine, too. She said that those dreams were based on trivial things. But where do dreams begin really? Some said they wanted to be in politics (I want to be in public service). She asked, why not be a moviestar instead? It seems to me as well that that is a good idea. But it is harder to become a moviestar. You have to have the looks, the charisma, and the connection. It’s easier to learn from law than to be ridiculously beautiful. haha. Even applying a face moisturizer at night is quite bothersome to me. She said that we would experience emotional trauma, anxiety attacks, nevous breakdown. I’ve had enough of that. And she said, we’re going to lose around 20 pounds in our first semester. Great. No need to find the best diet pills, not that I care.

So my first day was supposed to be a day of discouragement. From the professor, no. The traffic and 2-hour travel time did a better job than she did. That and the lack of sleep. To someone who values sleep more than eating or going out, it’s terrible. Better adjust my body clock soon.

And that’s how my first day went.

wow! you’re so generous in compliments, though unrealistic at times. haha. salamat, eks! napagkakamalan ka tuloy na ex (hindi eks) ko. haha. :)

Sounds like you had a good time. Hope you find a new place too. Look around the Sta. Mesa area, malapit lang yun sa school mo, or maybe dun sa likod ng school mo para lakarin mo na lang.

They still have the same methodology during the orientation (no, I didn’t try law school, just someone I know from the same school you’re in). With your drive, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the ‘run’ a lot. =)

i also attended law school in baguio. hindi ko rin tinapos. but at my lola age of 31, i guess it’s too late to go back and finish it. :)

despite the lack of sleep and long commute, you must be enjoying it, huh? :)

(by the way, akala ko nga kayo ni eks, eh) :)

first day of post-grad school is always exciting and nerve-wracking! parang ang tanda mo na. pero it turns out that studying is soooo much fun!

Posted by kg at June 16, 2009, 7:57 pm

Your professor made a lot of sense. I know two batch mates who proceeded to take law, one is now a chef and the other a nurse. LOL!

Posted by mordsith at June 18, 2009, 8:53 am

that’s about the same stuffs they tell you when you’re in law school, go for it, dear, it’s a challenge, and one challenge i know you will survive, ikaw pa, eh sisiw lang yan sa logic mo… hehe…I’m glad you pursue your dreams.

It’s known that money makes us free. But what to do if one has no cash? The only one way is to get the home loans or just small business loan.

There’s not a big problem to see some informal essay writing service, just because there’re lots of them online. Nevertheless, college students should opt for an experienced service to purchase perfect argumentative term paper.
