Ok so its almost April 1 and it is the day when I’ll find out If I passed Ateneo Law School or not.
So here’s the scenario:
What if I passed the exam?
txt message: “Floyd we passed the exam!”
me: “Pakshet! I did? meaning i have to spend a million and work my ass off going to Rockwell everyday and reading tons of books while looking for a higher source of income?!” WOW!
or
txt message: “Floyd, I passed the exam and you didn’t!”
me: “Whew! I’m an idiot and I could save a million peso in the span of 5 years…”
Thing is I really want to pass the exam provided that I have enough money to spend or even travel in going to Rockwell.
come to think of it when I went there I was the only person who commuted and I’m saying this because I really am the only person I notice to be walking to the jeepney stand.
which brings me to the conversation i had with a friend of mine who just recently pass the bar exams.
“Floyd, I am the latest example that you can do it, look I am just an average student and I was able to handle law school.”
To which I replied:
“Bro you studied in U.P. and I applied for Ateneo and that school is freaking rich and I know I can’t afford the tuition in it so uhmm…”
“why don’t you try taking again the exam in U.P. I know lots of people taking it again and again until they pass.”
“Yes thats’ a good idea! perhaps I’ll think about it!”
Then it dawned upon me the inevitability and the trauma of not passing the U.P. Law entrance exam in 2004.
“Gulp”
“What gulp?”
“I need beer.”
“Just try taking the exam again, it wouldn’t hurt.”
Now I really am in deeper shit than I’m supposed to.
Which brings me to thinking what really drove me to study law and take it in a University I can’t afford?
“Maybe I can find a scholarship”
Then I read a comment from one of my readers and fellow Ateneo entrance taker. And all was a dream to me after that.
Well, miracles do happen and maybe just maybe my lotto ticket would give me more than enough to finish in Ateneo.
Filipino psychologists say that the term “Bahala na” (Come what may) is a defense mechanism that filipinos subscribe to when they are faced with the inevitable, while ascribing to divine providence that which is left for fate.
In my case the inevitable has always been my dream of becoming a good lawyer.
But I ascribe to the belief that God has a plan for me, I just have to do something about it.
