Frustrations

Family reunions and get togethers with friends are undeniably fun. Unfortunately, they too can cause your deepest frustrations to surface.

I would always hear people complain about reunions. Most of the time, they dread comments and questions from relatives ranging from harmless ones as 'kailan ka ikakasal' to the tactless remarks Such as 'ang taba mo ngayon ah.'

I have always been grateful that I have never experienced frustrating comments like these. Oh well, except for the ang taba mo part. Haha. The fact that I am still in law school, with no decent job, spared me from questions like "kailan ka ikakasal?" Unfortunately, this past holiday season, I never thought I'd be ask with a similar question that undeniably caused my deepest frustrations to surface: "kailan ka ba gagraduate?"

I entered law school in 2009 which means that I should be graduating this year. As I have mentioned in an earlier post, I had to 'take it slow' as I work to send myself to school. It was not just a good decision, it was one that is necessary. Unfortunately, however, I cannot deny the fact that I truly, desperately want to leave school, get the job that I dreamt of and work towards the fulfillment of my dreams.
