upcoming midterms

a little more than a week left to study for the midterms. start of puyatan and stuff. just last wednesday, we studied in the library until 9pm, went to starbucks until around 12 then headed to mcdo and studied until around 3am. got back at around 3:30am. good thing one of us had a car. then woke up at around 8am to head for school. and i wasn't even reviewing for the exam! what more when next week comes!!!

out at night

i studied at the library until around 8:30 last night because my dormmate/blockmate said that he would also study at the library. and so i thought that i would have a companion on the way back to dorm. well.. it pissed me off that he didn't show up at the library. i always want to study at the library after dinner, but i won't if i don't have a companion so i was always asking my dormmate/blockmate if he would study. this is because i really don't like going home/back alone, especially at night because i'm...well...paranoid. (so my friends who live near my home/dorm, now you know, that's why i'm always asking whether you will be going home already). this is one of the reasons why i don't like going out at night, especially if no one will give me a ride home, and so i have to go back alone or commute alone (commute is okay if i also have a companion with me). well.. it's a good thing that last night me and my classmate were studying together and on her way back to her dorm she will pass by mine. and so i had a companion on the way back to my dorm. thank goodness!

Start of another week

Yesterday was Monday, start of another week of dread and recits. actually, i felt prepared in my three subjects for that day, namely: Criminal Law, Persons and Family Relations Law, and Constitutional Law. I actually wanted to be called, in any of the subjects. i felt that i could answer the questions that were asked. but unfortunately, i wasn't called for any subject at all.
we ate at kenny's. and as usual, some of my blockmates were teasing me about my appetite. i shared with them a barkada meal or something, similar to that of KFC's bucket meal. and guess what? i shared it with three boys!!! (actually, can't really call them boys anymore) hmm.. the barkada meal includes a whole roast chicken, 4 rice, 4 muffins, 4 side dishes, and a pitcher of iced tea. well.. i admit i'm not that conscious of dieting. but hey! it's only right that i eat a lot. i already lost several pounds since the start of classes just a month ago, like maybe 6 or 7 pounds already. so isn't it right that i eat a lot? and anyway, i don't eat much rice. i'm more of takaw-ulam kaysa takaw-kanin.

one month of law school

it's been such a long time since i was able to put something here. quite a bit of time has passed. the reason for this is because of the new road that i have taken. i am now studying law at ateneo rockwell. some might wonder why i have chosen to take up law in ateneo and not UP. well.. to tell the truth, i didn't even take the UP LAE. for one, my mom insisted that i study in ateneo. i also felt that i needed a change of scenery. and indeed a change it was, as i had experienced this past month. i knew that law school would be difficult. i just didnt imagine that it would be THIS difficult. but im learning to enjoy and love it. if not, one would really have a hard time to get by day-to-day with the constant fear of being called for recitation, which is one thing that i really wasnt used to back in my undergrad days in UP Manila. some people even call their stay in ateneo law school as four years of hell. in some ways, it could be considered that way. but this is something that i have chosen for myself, and i must live with my decision, that is if i am able to survive my first year here. in ways, i am still adjusting to this new environment that i find myself in right now. good thing that i have found a group of friends who are also serious about our study of law. and a class that is still highly cooperative
for those who are able to read this, i seek your prayers.
