Trying to get the feeling again.....

transcript of my post at www.attyatwork.com. the question posted by a member of the forum was ano ba yun'g feeling ng nakapasa sa Bar? read on.....

hi there! just one word to describe yung feeling na pumasa sa Bar exam: “Heaven”

i also slept before the day of the exams, but it was already in the wee hours of morning of the exam day (2nd, 3rd & 4th Sunday of September). during the 4th Sunday of the Bar exams, i had very little sleep ‘coz i felt i had very meager arsenal in my hands for the Legal Ethics exam in the afternoon. but i don’t really recommend staying awake and trying to study very late the night prior to the day of the exams ‘coz very little is absorbed by the brain, if at all. serious studying must be done during one’s study in law school and not during the review, much more on the day before the exams. in my case, i hardly remembered what i studied the night before the exams. Bar examinees must already be resting by then. it was really an exercise in futility on my part, even though i’ve heard that advice a hundred times before. the only redeeming value is that i still managed to pass the Bar despite that. Thanks God.

my unsolicited advice to you: just follow your dream, and don’t let negative experiences in law school affect you. i also flunked my labor standards subject way back in law school, but i never allowed it to bother me at all. as they say, normal lang daw yun’g me bagsak sa law school, pag wala ka’ng bagsak, di ka daw normal, hehehe….

and one more thing, study smartly. i say “smartly” ‘coz there’s no point in studying hard till you drop, if you don’t have a definite study plan. i mean you should have an organized plan on what and how to study, yun’g hindi bara-bara lang. think of studying in law school as if it were a military training ground in preparation you for one of your life’s greatest battle: THE BAR.

to end, i wish you all the best and don’t forget to pray for guidance from the Divine Providence who guides the destinies of men and nations and also the final arbiter of our all our plans and ambitions. to God be the Glory!!!

Godspeed!
