so, Chicago, Chicago...

it's been quite some time n things have been happening.

over here in this out-of-no-where neighborhood in windy Chicago, my thoughts fly up n my words retain below. i feel the pulse, the pulse, i just feel it, then that fate would summon me hither. So it's Chicago, now I know.

"I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano, a stage where every man must play a part, and mine a sad one." O Shakespear my dear Shakespear, shame on u.

Kiddo, listen to me, things will get so fucking fantastic, buckle up n just enjoy the journey.


P.S. on an unrelated note, i m in at Georgetown Law.

Things To Do B4 Law School

Just wanna create a to-do thread for myself, it will be constantly updated, as ideas arise.

1. by all means, even it means that i might resort to some archaic black magics eventually, i need to make my handwriting legible, period...

Law School, Surprise Me

I dare you

in a way, i feel like i v been in law school for a while already, at least the intensity level has been fairly comparable ever since I decided to endure two ongoing master degree plans and one 20 hr/w assistantship job.

Just as I thought I would once again come out unbruised, the finals have been hitting me hard.

That basically puts an end to this entry.


P.S.

For future law school Rui,

don't ever forget that health policy and biochemistry once made your life insane too

in the great memory of the legendary blood-stained semester of Spring 2009:
Seven 3-credit classes, one 20 hr/week TA job and one 20 hr/week RA job = a hell of a prep for law school

You Make Me Fly, Period.

Its a peculiar recognition that the hardest task in my application ordeal is to come up with a 250-words essay.

So far,

I got 785 words,

Way to go, Rui.

P.S. I just found out that The Gettysburg Address is only 272 words, now I have new appreciation for Lincoln...

Yet Another LSAT Test Day

One LSAT cycle later (which feels like eternity), well, i am still in the seemingly perpetual agony of customizing essays & quatriple checking apps. Procrastinators-r-us....

Life s been pretty simple for me lately. Balancing among classes, finals, assistantships and apps is one double-shot-full-time employment. I'v been averaging on one app per day lately and I am totally enamored of my schools. Yet they come individually to my life, sweep me off the floors n keep me infatuated for one day and one day only. I am insanely possessed till i pass out at 5 am in the morning.

N the cycle keeps going.
