Project Law School relaunched

Two years ago, I launched a project here called Project Law School. In that project, I plan to document my experience while studying law. Of course, it didn't materialize. Instead of proceeding to law, I went to teach at Stella Maris.

Now, since I have actually started my law studies in University of Mindanao, I'm relaunching the Project. I cannot assure, however, that blog posts will be more frequent, considering the tedious work in school and the equally stressful demands of law studies.

Almost all of my law professors warned us that Law is like a jealous mistress. It demands so much of your time, talent, and treasure. One week into law school, I know now whereof they speak. Indeed, it isn't easy. In one subject, as many as ten cases will be assigned for you to digest (make a brief). Every day is a recitation day. And sometimes, just when you thought a provision won't be discussed because it's insignificant, you are suddenly called by your teacher to recite in toto that insignificant article.

But why continue if we are not compelled to endure all those things?

I don't know about them, but for me, my only consolation is that I know this won't take long. As Ma'am G used to tell us, "Better suffer for four years than suffer for the rest of your life."

Project Law School (PLS), launched

I'm going to embark on a new project. I will call it Project Law School or PLS for short.

PLS will basically chronicle my adventures and misadventures as I take up law. In this project, I will write as much as possible about my life in law school (before, during, and maybe after if I'm still alive by that time).

I have actually started writing about law school. Here when I was still mulling over whether to take up law. Here when I was really having trouble deciding what to do after graduation. And here when I found out the result of the Law School Qualifying Test.

But it was only after watching Julie & Julia---in which Julie Powell put up a blog and documented her progress while cooking all the recipes in Julia Child's book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking---that I thought of giving this endeavor a name.

Join me now in this latest project of mine. I don't know how will this end. Nor do I know when will this end. But one thing I know, I will finish what I started.

I will be a lawyer. Soon.
