Buhay Law Student
It’s Friday again. At this time last year, I would either be heading to a hole in the city to hang out with friends, or packing to leave early for another adventure trip the following day. Now I can’t do that anymore. There are hundreds of pages waiting to be read when I get home, and that’s just for one subject, just for one night.
I so miss traveling. I miss seeing the world outside. I miss taking photos and writing about my discoveries. I miss going home from work to just drop on the couch and watch TV, uncaring about what the time is already. I miss waking up after lunch hour on weekends. I miss the trips to the mall, the unlimited blogging, the lazy afternoons, the endless poker games. I miss the unlimited idle time with friends. I miss not having to watch the time.
These days free time is precious. Sleep is precious. Even the bandwidth of my brain is precious, because there’s just too much to remember! I know I am fairly mentally-endowed, but that doesn’t matter at all. Law is not about intelligence, it’s about discipline, and it’s the discipline that is required of us that is agonizing. People say law is prestigious, but right now, I do not see prestige at all.
Of course I am just whining. I know this is nothing compared to the bar. Maybe someday I will get used to this life and learn to get away with a movie before a big exam. Last night, thanks to a professor who didn’t show up again, my law buddy and I went to catch My Sister’s Keeper. Those rare times make me appreciate every second of the day now.

I used to see my friend who was taking up Law at UP Diliman na halos di na naliligo at kumakain sa dami ng binabasa. And he had all colors of markers. Grabe. Sana di ka naman ganyan. Good luck!

@Abaniko: naliligo pa naman ako araw-araw at kumakain more than three times a day, and i work full-time. but i do have all sorts (and colors) of markers, post-its, and index cards.
@Clado: Lagi. I’m looking forward to the laags someday.
you’re taking up law pala… good luck… kaya mo yan you’ll get used to the sked — eventually
bisan wala ko ga-law, feel ko ang preciousness of time, sleep and the bandwidth of my memory also! hahaha!
yep, first year pa lang. i went back to school this year after three years of working, and i think i’m starting to get used to it. disiplina lang talaga, although minsan i choose sleep over books.
how’s my sister’s keeper the movie? isa sa mga paborito kong buk yan.
don’t worry sabi nga e, kapag may tyaga may nilaga
basta wag mo kakalimutang umupo sa isang tabi, pikit ang mata at breathe in breathe out ng sampung beses 
..sabi nga ng isa mong commentor.. kaya nyo yan.
okay naman yung movie. touching pero medyo depressing. binago yung story from the book. iba ang namatay sa movie.
lami kaayo ang litson. gusto ka?
how on earth did you find my blog?!
