Through the Looking Glass

Too much rain, Too little of the weekend (although its been 4 days), and too late in the day (at 2AM) to really do anything worthwhile of my Monday…

Actually, I am a bit sleepy… I’ve been online for quite a while, looking at websites that have filled me with the possibilities of getting an internship abroad, for UN even! But then I would have to scrape up the money myself… Oh well. And I was relying on kind-hearted organizations like the Rotary Club but it turns out I’m not eligible. Bother. Maybe I can ask help from my mom’s company then? They can write it off as a tax deduction. Hmm. That’s wishful thinking right there.

I truly want to work for thte Hague or the UN. Maybe I’ll give it a shot, although it means I may not go to school for a whole sem. I can’t go on LOA, it’ll mean a whole year delayed and I won’t get to graduate with my batch. AGAIN. Argh.

Can I not volunteer for a mere 2 months during summer? I’ll see. But then offices like the ICC or UN Secretariat have minimum 3 month internships. At oo nga naman, nasa US ka na nga (or Europe) tapos sandali ka lang dun? Makes sense din that it should take longer. Hay. I dunno. I’m too sleepy to think properly. And who knows if it’ll push through? But this is something I really want. I want to travel, to make the most out of the fact I have the opportunity. If it means going around and missing  a month, why not? Yun nga lang kung 1 year it’s something to think about… Oh well. I’d be able to take the Bar with them pa din naman at any rate.

GMA’s SONA tomorrow and a big storm’s about. We have no class tomorrow. God bless this wonderful country. It can only take so much huffing and puffing.

… I happened to read a bit of poetry I wanted to share…

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven
from "The Wind Among the Reeds"

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

–W.B. Yeats, 1888

I love mush, don’t you? :>

I finally have my moot court speech tweaked to my satisfaction and hence I will just go and procrastinate until it’s time to study for Transpo, To my utter dismay I never really got the knack for liking Tax so that I put off til 30 mins. before the class. Heehee. I know, it’s absolutely horrid study habits that could bite me in the ass come Finals. Or if he calls me for a case tomorrow I am sooo dead.

For Moot Court I fervently wish that my 7 minute respondent spiel is enough and that I come off as having read the case. The Federal Republic of Germany will never forgive me if I manage to lose this for them (when they won in that case). Hahaha!

Notable this weekend was the fact that it rained pretty hard when it was merely drizzling during the weekday. Talk about unfair! We could have used some rain on Thurs. so there wouldn’t be any class!  As a result I was lazier than usual.

Earlier today I was browsing through Friendster and lo and behold, a baby picture! Veng had a baby! Oh my gosh, I remember we were all just hanging out making MTVs and commercials and whatnot in college and here she is with a baby and married! This is just a shocker, everyone around me is getting married and pregnant! (Roda by the way, texted that she is feeling the effects of morning sickness and cannot be forced into DVD shopping. And Ate Machie is giving birth any day now)  I dunno if I envy them or what. Maybe I do but then I wouldn’t be studying if I was married, would I? And here I am obsessing on who to ask to the WinLaw Ball! Hahaha! Makes you wonder how the Law makes you predisposed to staying single bec. of all the things one can do.

Yesterday I got into a discussion (well via text anyway) with Ryan on how having a girlfriend may help him cope with the mind-numbing stresses of practice and I got to thinking, so this is how it is even after Law School? He even missed school! Honestly, I don’t know why we do it… Graduating and then taking the Bar just so we can go and miss our professors? hah! That’ll be the day…
