Now or Never

I can finally announce that I am officially going to Law school this November! Kfine, I know I've posted it on twitter already!☺ I'm very excited to go to school again!! Woooohooo!!

If you're reading my posts, then you should know that I resigned from my job to pursue my dream. I had no idea that I'll be going to law school this semester, but yes, I guess I am! haha. When I resigned, I kept on looking for a job connected with public relations, marketing, and research. I attended some interviews, but didnt submit the requirements. I have to decide what I want.

Last August 29th, I went to Lipa for my usual gala-day with friends, but to have an alibi, I told my dad that I'll be going to De La Salle Lipa to inquire for their Law course. Just to have something to show him when I get back, I really did inquire. Yes, I got interested since they're accepting students for the second semester, some schools in Manila don't. I asked some questions, but had no idea of enrolling. teehee :">

29 August 2012
After I inquired, I went to Manila the next day for some interviews, yes-- job interviews. Pero as a bratt, I only had one interview, but stayed there for three days. Hey, don't judge, I need money! haha. The longer I stay, the bigger the amount of allowance I get. HAHAHA! Sorry, I'm poor like that (yes, I didnt save from my previous job, sorry)

When I finally decided to take a job, I texted my dad saying that I'll sign the contract already. I'll be a legal assistant for a bank (I wont mention the name of the bank since I wasnt able to continue my application) When I texted him that I'll be having my medical already, he texted me saying, "Bakit ka ba apply pa ng apply e mag-aaral ka na sa November?" I was like "O_O what?" Sana sinabi agad dba para hindi na ako nageffort sa pagpunta ng Manila! hahaha. But then, I still continue with my application and did the medical. Yun lang, I didnt submit the requirements.

I went to Batangas after the medical, confused. After a couple of days, I was invited by my former professors to be one of the speakers in St. Scho's celebration of Social Science Week. I talked about life after graduation, and what are the things outside the school. Of course that deserve a separate post. In that event, I started asking the professors and some of the Alumni whether or not to take the entrance exam and study on November. As expected, I got mixed answers! haha. I also seek help from my FB friends, and the answer that made me take the exam was: "Strike while the iron is still hot." That was from my lawyer cousin. When I read that, I've decided to take the exam already. It's just the same as, "it's now or never" HAHA why would I stress myself looking for a job, when all along, all I want is to study? hmmm.

Yun lang, being a natural lazybee, I fixed my requirements a month ago! hahaha! I went to DLSL after my birthday, 25 September 2012, to ask for the requirements and schedule of exam! Surprisingly, exam was scheduled the next day! Oo, agad-agad! hahaha. Malay ko kung ready na ako, pero gora lang! hahaha The next day, I took the exam. If you ask me how it was, OMG! I dont know how to answer! hahaha. I was taking it alone, in a cold airconditioned room, all sets had time limit! kakaloka ng bongga! I took the exam from 1PM-4PM! WHAT.THE.HELL.HAPPENED.AFTER?! Nganga ako! Seryoso! hahaha My friends said there's no consti covered, THE HELL! meron!! hahaha. Anyway, I prayed hard na lang after the exam.

Application form
 I didnt know how to answer the essay question: HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AS A LASALLIAN LAWYER? *application form*

Exam day
I was wearing my sister's shirt that says "Big Future" so that I would feel that my exam is for my future. Pero that shirt means BIG you know! haha yes, THAT future in tagalog! hahaha :)))

Result of the exam will be released a week after. That was, so far, the longest week I have ever felt! HAHA. I cant even imagine how long those seven days were! I had a feeling that I will fail the exam since I found it hard!! My friends were there to cheer me up, thanks!

And today--- I got the result!!!!!!

YEHEY!
I felt that I was in cloud 9! hahaha. OA kala mo naman bar exam na yung pinasahan? haha Sorry, I was that happy! Bakit? Kasi I swear, sabi ko nga, I cant afford to fail this.. Kasi feel ko pag bumagsak ako dito, parang nawalan na ako ng karapatan ipagpatuloy yung pangarap ko! Chos! e totoo naman e, entrance exam pa lang waley na dba? Saklap! :/ Well, thankful naman ako that I passed!

Now I can say that I am a step closer to my dream of getting that ATTY.

The battle is yet to start. I have yet to experience the stress of being a law student. I'm scared, nervous, but definitely excited! Yay! Im excited to torture my brain cells, again! HAHA.

It's never to late to fulfill your dreams.
