Pride and Prejudice (Mainly Prejudice): A Reflection
I really am not suited to write blogs, I almost forgot my blog's existence, haha! While I still remember that this exists, I want to share a couple of realizations after enrolling in law school.
Enrollment
A few days ago, I enrolled in the law school of my choice. I arrived ten minutes earlier than the starting time, but there were already many incoming freshmen there. Being the INFJ that I am, I did not bother to socialize with the other people present in the waiting room (the ones I know have not arrived yet); it was however inevitable to hear other people's dialogues since they had loud voices.
I heard somebody complain about something being "too much". That something was not actually "too much", considering that this is law school we're talking about. The funny things is that it is not "too much" for a high school student, nor to an elementary pupil. She was just whiny. Afterwards, somebody raised a question regarding the existence of "terror profs". I was taken aback. The normal question should be: "Are there lenient profs?" We are entering law school. LAW SCHOOL. Another person asked whether or not professors curve grades. If we were in a cartoon or anime, I would have been depicted as a person falling from her seat.
Pride and Prejudice (Mainly Prejudice)
Before anything else, I want to say that Pride and Prejudice is one of the best novels ever written and that Jane Austen is the greatest!
Now on Pride. (That was quick, haha!) I realized that I had been proud. I was proud because I was not whiny (But it turns out I am whiny on the inside LOL). I was proud because I did not want to be spoon-fed. Most of all, I realized that I was a judgmental biatch.
You see when it comes to pet peeves I have lots, especially regarding language. I don't like hearing two languages being mixed and butchered at the same time. All my language pet peeves were present at that time. That mainly triggered my negative attitude towards everything. I have to overcome my pet peeves fast!
Also, there is no such thing as spoon-feeding in the university I will be graduating from. There is no spoon to begin with, we have to look for it by ourselves... or make one for ourselves. I like this "laissez faire" treatment. That is why I am not okay with people wanting to be spoon-fed.
In my university, we have been taught not "what to think" but rather "how to think critically". Most professors I had go by Socrates' line: "I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." I like that about them, and I also like how passionate they are. The passion for learning can go a long way. I tried to look for this passion in the people I saw and heard, but I found none. That was wrong of me. I did not talk to them long enough to begin with. I was just being a judgmental bastard, especially when I heard them ask which blocks are easy and which are not. Human beings are rational creatures to begin with. They will always do cost-benefit analysis. At the very least they are satisficers. I was just being Elizabeth Bennet when she tried to make out Mr. Darcy's character! I was a prejudiced biatch. And I am sorry to have thought of such ill opinions of others.
Now I just realized the this post is long enough and that I am sleepy, haha. Good night. ( I said that, but I am just mainly lazy to write a conclusion so I will just sleep haha)
P.S. I am excited to enter law school. <3 Sweet dreams, everyone.

Ateneo Law Entrance Exam Results
The Ateneo Law School entrance exam results were released last April 1st. Seeing my name on that list gave me a fleeting sensation that put me in cloud nine! If you've seen Legally Blonde: The Musical (highly recommended!), imagine the scene where Elle saw her name on Callahan's list of accepted interns! I was that happy xD
Oh, speaking of Legally Blonde, I really like the song Blood in the Water. :3

San Beda Exam Results
When I saw the UP LAE results, my confidence vanished into thin air. All I knew was that I wasn't good enough and I didn't like myself for that. Entering THE Malcolm Hall has always been my goal; I look at it everyday when I pass by (Malcolm Hall is adjacent to my college). That's why when it was released on the night of my birthday, it was inevitable for me to cry. I looked pathetic, haha.
A few days ago, I found out that I passed the San Beda entrance exam, and it made me inextricably happy! I was pleased with my exam results. Perhaps I was not good enough when I took the UP LAE, but I was good enough to pass a top law school so I'm satisfied. :D The person in the Law Guidance Office who gave me my exam results said that the Critical Thinking score is vital in law, so this inevitably made my day!
