Mixed Emotions

There are only seven days in between this moment and our final exams. I couldn't feel any better for the summer break is really fast approaching, but then, I couldn't feel any worst because this school year has to end.

I still feel the same agony as I feel a year ago before I entered law school. I still feel unsure despite the fact that I am already a law student. It's like an unending decision making that I have to make every single time because my future lies on every second I stay as a law student. There's always two different paths that seduces me, making me confused all the time whether this career is really my destiny. Still, no matter how Lord God puts me to any situation, I have to keep moving, keep fighting, and search for my destiny. In the end, there are greater things out there other than my own happiness. Maybe I'm meant to become a lawyer because I have a mission to take, maybe not.

I am happy I entered law school. I am happy I went to San Beda College of Law. My first year in Law School is indeed a roller coaster ride. The saddest part of it was when one of our classmates died due to fraternal violence, Andre Marcos. I was so happy we had to go to the same class in Beda since he was my classmate back in college. He's the only person I know in class during that time. I could not bring back time and change what happened but I will always pray for him and for his family. That was the very first time I lost a friend, that it almost affected my perception in law. On the bright side of my law school life, I met new friends, and I learned a lot. Now, there's a part of me not wanting this school year to end because no matter how much I like it or not, I have to part with some of my law school friends because like me, they have to take their own paths too. Some might not pursue law anymore, some might transfer to other schools, some might stop schooling for a moment, and some might do something better than going to San Beda. They have been a part of my sleepless nights, mental anguish, besmirched reputation, extreme anxieties, bokya recitations, and a very fruitful year. There's a lot of new things I have experienced with them and I just couldn't accept the fact that we have to part ways. We could always meet again, but couldn't bond as often, we couldn't bond like now. Separation Anxiety.

Whatever happens in the next few weeks, THAT IN ALL THINGS, GOD MAY BE GLORIFIED.
