Just My Two Cents

I had my 1st semester in law school and i HATE it. . .i know first year is supposed to be bad, and part of me thinks it will be better once i start getting into my electives. Another part of me says i should bail while i can. i feel like it’s more some bizzarre hazing ritual than an education. my grades are average/mediocre, and i’m just wondering if this shit gets any better.hehe.

I’m thinking about going back to teaching. Something where I can use more of my knowledge base on a day to day basis, where I am not treated like an idiot every day, where I have the prospect of coworkers who might actually want to be friends with me rather than pick me apart for every misplaced comma, and where, I hope, I will be able to see a "light at the end of the tunnel," so to speak, in that even when things get hectic, I’m only a few weeks/months away from a several-day break.

On the other hand if someone will ask me if i regretted going to law school, i will proudly say ‘No way’.  I liked it, even when it sucked, and I liked doing it and doing it well.  I liked the kind of mental work I learned to do there, the language and vocabulary and precision of thought I got from it, and the introduction to the geography of the common law statutes.  I value the confidence I have and my general sense that nobody can bully me with the law.  I don’t regret law school, even if I never practice law a day in my life again.

But to realize a life-goal, i think i have no choice but to live a life that law school has to offer. And somehow I have already psyched myself that I can become a lawyer even without San Beda.

Well I think I will forever be a law school virgin..
