-=the daily grind=-

For a minute there my blog’s name was "The Daily Optimist". Under it I wrote…nothing. There seemed to be nothing to be optimistic about. I went home via Tokyo, Japan. So on the last leg of the trip I was literally surrounded by japayukis. The type who scurried to get their luggages as the plane was landing, with the seat belt sign still on. Welcome back, Marie.

Two Mondays ago I enrolled. The school was still the same, the people (I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing) were still the same. Last Wednesday we had our first meeting in Nego. It was the usual getting-to-know-you bit and so the teacher asked what our undergrad course was, what school and why law school. I was the last to be called. My answer — "Ateneo, I.S. so I had a bit of PolSci, a bit of Management and a little Lit." "So why law school?" "I have always wanted to be a lawyer…until I got here. So now I’m just trying to finish." Haha! What bitterness. What drama. This is my life.

As if the angst-ridden environment was not enough, there’s this guy in school who is "very friendly". Some days he serves a purpose — someone to laugh at, feel gross about, and well, sure, be thankful for. Thank god there are people like him to show us what not to look for in a partner. Now that’s something to be optimistic about. Yahoo.
