good God! my week has been so fast. i barely have enough time to remember and smile about it. Ilocos was wonderful. It really was! I screamed "Praise the Lord!" at the top of my lungs to random strangers on the road. I sang (and memorized) the words to BALA from manila to ilocos and back! i saw VIGAN and walked its cobbled streets...sat on the beach of pagudpud...photo shoot at patapat bridge! ate at the forever 50's resto in laoag...YOU TOUCH MY TRALALA!!! hihihi...sunbathed in la union!
i was so thankful. Grateful to God.
and buti na lang. God really fixes plans. He knew I would not be able to go to Lucena this weekend.
and this is where it gets even faster.
Rewind to friday morning. I am sitting in the Padilla Auditorium of the UP Law Center in my business attire and beach beads. Dazed, I hear the girl in front say that we have an mock recitation on Monday. I think...oh, a week away. And then, AND THEN, she says...you have a lot to read this weekend kasi its THIS COMING MONDAY. i gulp and hear lucena give its bye-byes to me.
Today, Sunday, I have yet to finish the first case...(all 150 pages of it) and make a digest. the second one awaits, but even now all the latin terms (sine qua non, funtus officio, quo warranto) are still swimming in my head. WHY DO THE JUDGES TALK THIS WAY?! my understanding has been so clouded over. last night, i was crying in front of my books kasi i was so scared i wouldn't be able to finish these two cases. these are just two cases! there will be days (and not just a few of them) that i will have 40 cases to read! and i cant get through these two blasted ones. i feel like crying all over again.
to those who are reading this, please pray that i survive. i am already feeling how inadequately prepared i am for the long haul. and the fear is getting to me. it really is.
