My polka-dot twin and IThere are so many things I love about law school. Like Cinco, when he referred to the state, I believe that the UP College of Law is a state per se. It has also the following elements such as people, territory, government and sovereignty. I call it elements of law school all of which one has to appreciate in order to have this fondness towards law school. :)
People = Blockmates, schoolmates, all people in itIn UP law school, you get to meet people who are so great and smart that instead of shying away into your own little shell, you get to be inspired. There are also those people who you'd think are intimidating because of their upbringing. But soon after that, you spend afternoons with them while eating isaw and kwek-kwek and realize how grounded they are. Yes, I do employ the "isaw-test" in determining this. hahaha :)
Territory = Malcolm Hall, UP DilimanI love our Malcolm Hall classrooms since they have these large wooden desks where you put the many readings that they give you. Hehehe. And also the wooden panels dividing the balcony and the room where it has this ACCRA logo which
Celeni Guinto considers as a sign. Hehe and I'm hoping she's right!!!
Government = Administration, professors, staff, guards, librarians, COLLEGE SECRETARYI really love my professors and I hope they love me too :)) But in case the feeling is not mutual... it's ok, I still love them. :) I also love the modified Socratic method.
Sovereignty = Freedom, the titleI divided sovereignty into two:
1. If you just woke-up one day and you feel like wearing this same polka-dot top with a friend, no one cares. I mean they care 'cause they think it's cute and they laugh with you but no one cares in the sense that you are critique-free. Hence, you can wear whatever you want even tsinelas.
2. It's actually a mentality that I really don't want to grow on me but Mama Myrna told us that it's not really important that you get good grades (though it's important you meet the QPI and do not fail). After all, we're in UP na. Waaaahh. I know, I know, I'm so baaaddd but I wasn't the one who came up with the idea. It gets you going though. :))
I know this is non sequitur but I hope UST wins this sunday. hehehe:)
