frenzy used to be one of my most favorite words ever. because it seemed to sum up everything i was feeling at any given time. until the condom came. who names neon colored condoms frenzy anyway??? hmph. whatawaste of a truly great word.
this week, i have been frenzied. very much so. the readings are ganging up on me. and on top of that, my mother has decided to surprise me with a room renovation. so now, nothing is nowhere near its proper place, and my obsessive-compulsive little heart is palpitating more than usual. as if i didn't have enough problems already catching up with all of the crim readings. i now have the added excitement of a physical challenge: try to locate the correct law reading amidst a sea of mixed up law readings in the least time possible. i think, that shall be my cardio. hehehe.
this week has been full of social events. which would be just peachy had they not all been held on the same night. isn't life just a bitch? just when you think you have enough social events to carry you through the next harrowing sem of lawschool (ideally, 2 every weekend for your sanity's sake), your friends decide to throw them all in one night. so now, you spend most of a fabulous friday evening in the car trying to get from one event to another. i chose to spend my friday in front of my desk determined to at least half what's left of my criminal law readings. i did about 5% of what i was supposed to. skipped the pyfp videoke dinner they had planned and instead went to the lotus pavillion in my pseudo formal wear (crisp white top and orangey-gold raw silk pants) and hobnobbed with the fellas from updyfc. it felt weird. you fantasize about hanging out with people from a golden point in your college life, and realize how disorienting it is to hang out with them NOT as college idiots but, as dave put it, a more mature crowd. what's weirder is that it no longer felt like the hug that it used to. i was beyond shocked to discover that lawschool people had become more homey to me than i actually thought they were. but all the same, we sat on the hotel room floor chatting like nothing had changed. over chips and soda and smoked-scented curtains, we talked about career, and broken relationships, and prom dates that never materialized.
okay, so that was ONE conversation. but i suppose it was relevant. found out he had dated the entire female population except for me. it was a good thing i got over him when i did. that's about all i have to say about that.
saturday was, unfortunately spent preparing for, and being bored at a children's party. for the miracle baby of my cousin who turned one yesterday. my goddaughter katrina. i can't believe im nearing the age where the parties i'll be going to are birthday parties of people who i used to be young with. so this is what old feels like. sticking out like a sore thumb with your knees sticking out of a toddler table with balloons surrounding you thinking "what the hell happened?!" ah, how sweetened spaghetti and dirty ice cream affects me so.
the highlight of the weekend was a three-way conversation with joanne and kathy. just like we used to way back in high school. THAT, really did feel like home. even if it was just the 3 of us, id be happy as a bug. high school was fun because of them.
and so, here comes a new week. more palpitations and more readings i will not be able to read. isn't law school life just grand? i think, for now, the only high i get from law school is getting to tell people i know enough to attend it. hehehe. "so, san ka na ngayon?" answer: "oh me? im in law school." that's it. my entire life in a sentence. a sentence for my entire life. a life sentence. hehehe.
in the words of the fabulous tigger (lifted from the winnie the pooh puppet show at yesterday's children's party - - - TTFN. TA-TA for NOW!
