I have to make-up for lost grounds. It's my first time to join my friends in Araullo for the Bar Operation of 2007. Because of previous engagements, I have to beg-off from going to Manila on the first three Sundays. I promised our Dean that Batch 2006 Bar Passers will attend on the last Sunday. However, Atty Joan has Sore Eyes so I went alone to Manila where I met with Atty. Jenny and Atty Zea and then proceeded to the Bar Site.

Call us nostalgic but we really can't help reminiscing about what we went through last year. Today we can only smile and tell our parts of the story but we really feel how our Barristers are feeling right at this moment. My friend even quipped that even if you offer her one million pesos, she will not take the Bar exam again. I said make it 3 million and I may reconsider (Just kiddin').

The ambiance may be different, because of a Supreme Court Order, there are less activities in the morning. However, come 3 pm, the Festivities has begun: the drums and the cheers has started. Based on my personal experience, I prefer that drum beats be forever prohibited because it really distracted me last year. The room where I was assigned to last year was not totally soundproof and I can hear the beat of the drums as early as 3 pm. Just imagine the beat of the drums chorusing with the beat of your heart. There could be panic attack right there.

But hey, supporters are supporters no matter what. They really mean no harm but just wanna cheer you up after eight grueling exams.
.
So, after four years of law school, six months of review and a month of examination. It is now time for five to six months wait.
Been there. Done than. Now... it's time for the post-traumatic bar exam syndrome to begin.
To all my friends who took this year's exam, you can hold my hand anytime.
Good luck to your friends. I hope they pass like you did, sa course namin walang mga ganyan, so I have no idea of the stress and tension you guys went through
ReplyDeleteSayang! I would have met you last Sunday. Naging impromptu emcee kasi ako ng school program for the examinees kaya di na ako naka-ikot masyado. Well, some other time maybe.
