Almost a year done!

My last post was last June! So much has happened. And I still couldn't believe that I am here right now. Filled with stress but with joy as well. Law school is one hell of a ride. I had always been preparing for the sacrifices, the horror stories, the sleepless nights. Fortunately, I really do enjoy it. There are moments that I doubt myself, but usually, I get over it the next day and just live life one class at a time.

Finished first semester last December, and we are now almost half way the second semester. I usually have my deserved breaks during Saturday afternoons. That's why I remembered writing today.


Out of the original 23 students of the Evening Block 2024, 19 of us survived the first sem. The 4 of us dropped early on because of other opportunities. We were able to pass the 5 subjects (or so I think). We had Mol/o, Rasu/l, Marcel/o, Tamas/e and Jimene/z as profs for first semester.

I was also able to find my close friends. During the finals week, we booked an Airbnb and studied there for 3 days. I guess it helped.



With them, I can share things I couldn't share with the entire block. It's good that you have a tighter support group than the whole block, because you can ask them anything!

Pictures above are from today when we had lunch at Samgyupsalamat at One Park Drive.

So far so good. Of course, the experience is very difficult. But I think once we are able to finish the first year, everything will make sense. And everything will be much easier. So many cases to read, so many concepts to grasp, so commentaries that we cannot finish to read. But everything will be worth it. Everything is for the duty to public service. Naks.

Of course, thanks to the support of my boyfriend who's been very understanding every single day. Who manages to make time late at night meeting me up and spending time with me studying or just rushing for dinner since it's too late already.

When we watched '1917' on Valentine's Day.

But even though everything is going well with me, there are bad news and unfortunate happenings that I will not delve into. I hope everything will be fine with my Mom. I just feel sad that at this stage of my life, I can't help her financially or emotionally. I'm sure everything will eventually be fine.
