One cannot deny the wisdom in that!
I remember how unsure I was as to whether I will continue with Law School and just plain stop and do the things I want to do with my life. I spent the last four years of college just doing things I never imagined to be remotely possible. I played basketball, I studied philosophy, I took up creative writing (as my minor), I auditioned and became culture editor of Sinag, I auditioned and became a staff writer of the Philippine Collegian, I went to rallies, I wrote a column to seek redress of my personal grievances against Arroyo, I voted for Roco, I climbed a mountain, I changed the tires of my car, I became an "assistant coach," I befriended strangers, I went into business, I will hopefully graduate cum laude, I passed UP Law, etc.
The thing is, when you've experienced the world, you find it rather difficult to go back inside, shut the doors, sit down and keep your nose inside the books. That was what I felt before I took the UP LAE three months ago and that's the way I feel now.
Sure, with my passing UP LAE and with just one interview in between me and Law school, I should probably be more excited. I would be if I had anything happy to look forward to there. I know there will be something good waiting for me at the end of my four-year stay in law school but I'm pretty sure that it will be a rough four years before I get there.
I know I want to become a lawyer. I want to go to the province and work for farmers and then buy a farm of my own. It's just that I'm pretty sure that in the next four years, I wouldn't have the chance to let go of myself and wear a sombrero to school.
