For almost eight months, I evaded the ultimate question: "What's your plan for the next academic year?" I tried so hard to keep my face straight and my resolve unwavering. I refused to give any concrete answer to any person who asked me that question. I refused, because I honestly don't know how to answer them.
However, it seems inevitable, especially right now that most of the Gerls are in medical school (2 in UP, 2 in UST, 1 in UERM, and 2 in DLSU-Dasma--all of which are prominent medical schools in the country). I know that I should not feel pressured whatsoever, but I am a fairly competitive person. And it doesn't help that people around me including my mom keep asking, "Are you going back to law school?"
Here's the thing: I am sure of going back to law school. I just don't know when. I still want to go to law school despite my experience last year. I still want to have that blood rushing, heart thumping, and mind boggling recitation ordeal. I want it that bad, but only time will tell when I'd be back. Because as of this writing, I am waiting for some miracle to happen. I am waiting for the great come back, the defining moment. And when it comes (and I believe that it will), that'd be the time I will give an answer to the ultimate question.
For now, I will keep my fingers crossed as I wait for the best birthday gift ever. Till then, I will not entertain any question that has to do with law school.
