good news and bad news

the good news: one of my classes is already over, had the final exam last week
the bad news: don't feel like I did well in that exam

on the bright side, my schedule is considerably lighter without that subject.

received really good news yesterday, one that makes me want to study all the more...not! but it's nice to know that I'm not at the dregs of my class. hehe. now, if only I could just concentrate enough to finish my research.

spent sunday in tagaytay, food-tripping with college friends...there went my diet. whatever!

happy new year!!!

it's been quite a while since I last posted. had a great time with my two-week vacation and now in great denial over the start of classes. would love to stay in bed or at home, but have commitments...

cramming for an exam next week, and yes...I have another paper to finish...

but still happy new year everyone...35 weeks til my bar exam.

let's do it again

first week of the second semester. my last semester (hopefully, my last) started out ordinarily enough. had to spend the whole day enlisting for my desired electives. waited hours just to be able to pay my tuition. then, when I thought everything was finally over, I realized I had to change one of my electives.

already had classes, and already had my first duty day at ola. yep, nothing's changed, I can definitely live without it. changed teams though...I must now contend with entirely new cases and clients.

just a little bit excited over my classes. will probably spend a lot of time in the library because I only have 14 units, and I want to do really well.

cramming....again!

rushing to finish a take home exam due tomorrow. have no idea how I'm to go about it. have final exam on thursday...totally have not started studying for that one.

so looking forward to sem break but just realized that I will have no break because I have two papers to finish. plus the pleadings I have to do for ola. damn!

my schedule is shot to hell for next sem. I want to avoid some professors but cannot really decide because I still have to wait for one more class.

well, got to get back to work.

end of ola

finally! got through the legal clinic alive. had dinner with my teammates and sl last wednesday. and had 2 days vacation because of the typhoon. don't have that many regrets, just so glad that it's finally over...I know, I know... I still have another semester to get through and will probably have the same cases over again, but I can't help rejoicing over the fact that I survived without losing so much of myself.

hoping to get the same day for ola duty but still waiting on one of my back subjects. everything hinges on the schedule of my required classes...hope they won't conflict with my desired ola duty time. have only 14 units to go, I'm still considering whether I'll take extra units...don't know, I really want an easy life.

finals are just around the corner, anyway, I got a really low grade for the midterm exam I really studied for. got highest in the second quiz for another subject. oh well, win some lose some.

today is the last bar sunday...had very little sleep helping with the bar operations...can't believe that next year it would be me and my friends (God willing!) taking the bar.

have a finals exam this thursday...slightly worried about it but can't do anything about it either. have finished all my hearings and had the next ones scheduled for november. but still have pleadings to finish (hate this part, too)

I'm soooo looking forward to my vacation, but I know that until we turn over the cases to the next intern, I'm still responsible for them. trying to figure out if I want to come back to the same schedule...but I think it will all boil down to the other classes I want to take.

have grown fat the last couple of months...must be because of all the junk I'm eating to make myself happy...hahaha!!! that and the fact that there are a lot of good things to eat.

wake me up...you know the song

I've been busy the past weeks. suddenly my slow and lazy life is filled with deadlines and with the finals looming in the horizon...I find that I have not learned much during the semester.

one of my professors had to gall to appear only 4 times for the whole semester. sure he scheduled make-up classes but he was never there...in short, I'm going to have to study the subject on my own.

have hearings to attend and pleadings to finish...love my sl's system of work but find myself wishing that I won't ever have to go to court again or draft another pleading.

just one more semester until I graduate. I'm not exactly looking forward to it but have resigned myself to the thought...

you are the one

watched the movie you are the one...had a great time...cheesy romantic moves got to me...hahaha! course, it just might be that I'm really dying for a little romance in my own life.

"ber" months and christmas songs

it's september...and I already heard a christmas song over the radio. what is it with the "ber" months that get us automatically thinking of christmas anyway? I already have friends counting down the days until christmas... helloo!!! that's still a lifetime away. I have to get through the semester first, then the sem break, then part of 2nd semester, and of course my birthday! before it's christmas.

enough about that. have been busy doing mostly nothing the past week. don't know why, but I feel so tired lately...

remember the midterm exam I crammed for? well, I got a pretty good grade...almost made it to the top 5 of the class! have another quiz coming up in a couple of weeks. the other exam result will be released next saturday...that one, I'm really praying I did well.

anyway, it's september, and I can almost see the light...hahaha! at the end of this long dark tunnel. sometimes have an almost irresistible urge to scream and ask for mercy...but my more disciplined self always wins in the end. so I trudge back to my pc and get to work...

got plastered

was my brother's birthday, and of course, had a party. spent little time with friends over the weekend. and oh yeah! had my midterm exam last saturday. not sure if I did well on that one. felt a little easy but then again the last time I thought an exam was easy, got a really bad grade.

still in denial over the coming week...don't want to do anything. have decided to let god handle everything else. now doing minimal work on my requirements...am tired of running all over the city to get things done.

feel like being a loner for a while...and lately, I've been feeling very irritated at a friend of mine. must have reached my tolerance limit. hehehe. will probably be super bitchy in the next few weeks or so... am apologizing in advance to those who will get hurt.

I've been busy

started the week by not attending class last monday. no regrets on that one, I totally enjoyed vegetating in front of the television the whole day…I know I know, I have an exam on saturday…I’ve already started studying anyway. yehey for me!

tuesday, had a hearing which was reset…so I spent the whole morning battling traffic going to court and back to school. was scheduled to recite too, so I spent the afternoon studying for my class (therefore, too busy to study for my exam) made a friend, well sort of anyway…

today, got a new case assigned to me…uurgh!!! I really hate it and everything it entails (will probably hate everything connected to the legal clinic until I’m done with it – note that I didn’t say that I hated the people I work with) have a super soon deadline for which I did a few things tonight (therefore, still busy) but on the upside, got really good news today…the details I might share later.

I’ve been busy but I still have time to do this…heeheehee…nobody can say that I don’t have my priorities straightened out.

contemplating my circumstances

it's a holiday tomorrow but I have a make-up class. I have a hearing on tuesday for which I think I'm relatively prepared, but I'm still wishing that it won't push through. I'm already tired of all the things that I have to do for the legal clinic. I started the semester dreading it. now I really hate it. don't like working for these people. I'm not interested in their problems.

was talking to my friends last friday, and I told them that I am now ready to try another relationship...a real one with commitment and not just some random fling. hope that was true, because sometimes I can't help being afraid of trusting another person that much.

have midterms on the 26th, this time I've already started studying...don't want to be caught unprepared again. besides, I know I will need all the studying I can get for this subject.

it's almost the end of august, I don't feel like I've accomplished much...except for the legal clinic...I feel like everything I've done has been for that. well, we did manage to submit our slr topics on time. I guess we'll have to consult next week to find out which topics have been approved.

so looking forward to the end of the semester (but not the final exams). hope I survive the next months.
