sem break starts... now!
actually, 2 days ago :P
at exactly 12 midnight last october 27 (technically, it was october 28 already), after 17 hours in school (yes, you read it right. 17. SEVENTEEN), my 1st sem in my 3rd year in law school has officially ended.
YEHEY!
not that there's a lot to rejoice about....
let me sum up my 1st semester in one word:
SUCKY.
so i guess having mock trials as my last finals was something to make such a bleak semester seem brighter.
a mock trial as a final exam was a pretty nice experience... i mean it was pretty nerve-wracking... i started law school with the idea of being more of a research-based lawyer.... meaning no litigation work, no "objection, your honor!" kinda thing... so i was pretty thrown off by an oral final examination that was all about litigating and "arguing" with the opposing counsel...
but it turned out okay... after 6 hours of waiting for our turn to come, more than 2 hours of moot court seemed pretty short... shout out to my team mates arianne, kaye, fifi and patch for doing a super job... and i'll forever be indebted to our two witnesses noel and rob for giving up their sunday night and whole monday just to be the two extremely handsome and tall witnesses our case required...
fun, fun october 27 day (except maybe for the 17hours in school thing. with 5 groups and more than 2 hours per group, it was a LONG day)...
anyway, my end of sem resolution is when i survive this first semester (nov4 is the judgment day), i promise to
1. buy a rules of court codal
2. study. as in STUDY.
hohoho, as usual pray for me guys.
