Today’s the first of the following days that I will be writing a daily journal. I haven’t been doing this for quite some time now, but for the sake of complying with one of Prof. Tabang’s requirements, and maybe, of looking forward to reaping the benefits and joys of writing, notwithstanding my limited creativity (if ever I got a piece of it) and narrow flair for writing, I am scribbling with my pen now..
Well, we have elaborated in our Basic English class the usage and importance of keeping a journal. So, why not do this with gusto then? Here’s hoping I can keep it daily.
---ooOoo---
Baragatan ‘07 just came to a close. I didn’t witness any of its daytime-to-nighttime week-long spectacles. I have been pre-occupied with my reading assignments that I hardly had time to go out and see for myself the fun and colors of this year’s celebration. The celebrations in 2002 and 2003 were the only Baragatan’s I witnessed; but since then I have always looked forward to watching the street-dancing with the extravagant display of each participating town’s dances, motifs and heritage; the nightly concerts and entertainments; and dining and drinking at the capitol grounds.
More than two weeks into law schooling, I just suddenly find myself coping with a lifestyle I haven’t had for ages! Am back here in Palawan and I just missed the recent Baragatan. I also miss beer, watching movies in big screens and a 7-8 hours sleep, and a lot more things and those stuffs that singles at my age do. I gotta re-learn a scholar’s life and that includes disciplining myself and shunning gimmicks which I have become accustomed to. God, it’s going to be upsetting.
But hey, I want to be a lawyer. I need to be a real law student then. I hope though that, time permitting, I will still be able to see to it that I wont be a “dull John”. Let me put my version of that saying this way: All study without getting a break will make Eyom a dreary guy.
