working vs studying
strange man (think singlish). recently i've been feeling sleepier and sleepier. i'm not sure if it's the post-effects of work or the continuous attendance of lectures the past week that's causing it. but sometimes i get so tired that during the weekends, or every free hour i get for that matter, i just want to coop myself up at home, recuperate on my soft and lovely comforter and just drift off to dreamland where reality is what i make of it.heh, from what i gather from everyone, work seems to be one gigantic monster that messed up the routine and freedom we were so accustomed to. no more opportunities to skip lectures, no more free time to take long lunches and dinners or play pool whenever we want. bosses at our necks, secretaries fussing over us, legal associates pressuring us to produce quality work which we have no clue about... on a more positive note, almost all working adults agree that it takes at least 3 years to get the hang of things. THREE years, can you imagine that? and i am already struggling very hard with only one month! sigh. but it does give me the impetus to push on knowing that this part of my life, as hard as it may be, is only temporary.
so far, beginning classes all over again is fun! i think i will greatly appreciate studying from now on. the hours, the friends, the excessive freedom... my last 6 months of pure enjoyment before being sold as a slave permanently to the working world (unless, of course, my future husband is rich and is capable of keeping me as a well-groomed housewife, haha). but barring that ideal scenario, i better savour the following months as much as i can. wow, the luxury of reading books (and not legal documents) is immeasurable.
