I haven't slept well since last week. (Yes, it was due to work deadlines.) Then last weekend zoomed too quick with all the wedding preparations. Now I'm back to Thursday, still with pending deadlines, heart feeling burnt out, not talking with someone, and my body just dead tired.
Last night, my friends and I went back to Bikram Yoga. I felt bad because half way through, I became so dizzy I had to rest and miss a few poses. The good thing is, the work out left me so exhausted, I slept like a sack of potatoes when we got home. The bad thing is, I overslept this morning and almost didn't want to go to work.
Oh, life.
I know how to make things better, really. I just can't bring myself to do anything about it because I do not have the mental and emotional energy to deal with drama.
Well, the bar results came out last Tuesday, and............... I passed! I was so ecstatic when I got the news. I actually cried in public and did not care one bit. Hahaha. Thank goodness I didn't blog about it immediately after. I don't think I was sane at that time. I couldn't complete a sentence. I was just. oh. so. happy.
Everyone's starting to call me a-t-t-y, but we know that still doesn't hold any water until after
I thank the Lord for bring me to this point in my life. Contrary to popular opinion, my entire relationship with Him grew in leaps and bounds the moment that I entered law school. Finishing (and ultimately passing) the bar exams only made that stronger.
My parents don't (and hopefully, will never) read my blog. But I am so grateful for them as well. They encouraged me to take up law, and not only that, they supported me - financially, emotionally and mentally (basically, literally) - throughout the entire thing. I remember back in first year, I was crying because of my bad grades and I didn't think I would last through the first semester. They were there. They never doubted me for a second. And my sisters. My sisters let me get away with everything like giving me a pass at chores so I can finish my homework, or rubbing my back when I came home drunk from school! Geez!
Law school was crazy and the bar exams were like frosting. A friend of mine compared those four weeks as uber looooong quizzes. They kinda were, aren't they? But what about the waiting period after? Four and a half months of helplessness. Gahhhh!!!
I cannot write anymore. I am still so happy. Life isn't perfect, but everything is amazing! Thank you Abba!
Tuesday's dinner comprised of a can of light beer, some spicy chips, and five sticks of my favorite non-candy.
I am just feeling gloomy.
But work is great. I drafted three pleadings today and SA approved of my case strategy from last week. I feel a bit vindicated from all those feelings from last Friday. Of course, there is still the conference next week, and the report I need to make for that by Friday. But after my emergency leave tomorrow, I will be working on two other pleadings and one "major" pleading! I cannot wait! :)
Work doesn't stop. My sister and I had to run all over the place to make sure everything is ready for the Je Crois Boutique booth at De La Salle University next week.
If you're in the Taft area, please drop by and say hi to us. We'll be at the SJ Walk starting Monday until Thursday. See you! :)
