First of Two Steps!

Hello everyone! New blog post? It means I am on "self-care" leave again!

It's just 6:35am and still early for my self-care shenanigans for today. And since I can't sleep anymore, I just figured I may have to update you for a minute. I have a big news, actually.

First, let us get it out of the way: I passed my UP LAE exam! Would you believe that!? I have been doubting myself since February, not really knowing if I really did well or I did not really do well at all. I just can't gauge it. 2 and a half months is fast and I am thankful for that.

So, we are all schedule for admission interview on the week of May 27. 2 weeks is such a long time, compared to 2 and a half months. As much as I want to celebrate now and tell my relatives about passing the exam, I still need to prepare for the interview. Everything is not yet sure!

All the partners at the firm know this already, I think. And I guess I have already decided to take night classes at the BGC campuses. I was convinced by an associate that it's not really practical to not work (meaning no salary) for almost 5 years. I know it's gonna be hard, with all the stress of law school and the lack of time, spending the entire day at work and then studying at night. But challenge accepted! I mean I am ready for the gruelling nights ahead!

WISH ME LUCK, WHOEVER IS READING THIS!

OK, let me just say it again: I couldn't believe I passed the hardest entrance exam for arguably the best law school in the Philippines. I---
