Animus Revertendi?

*dusting away some cobwebs*
It been eons since I last typed anything here! Ive got no excuse but the truth...I got bored with expressing my thoughts...having to type them all out...checking my spelling and grammar so that i wouldnt be picked up by the typo-gram police...so on and so forth...In short, I wasnt inspired to blog...And then there was the fact that I was a already a senior when I started this blog...so many things to do in such a short span of time...

After twidling my thumbs nervously to the point of wearing them out waiting for my grades to come in the mail, not to mention the mental anguish I had to go through asking myself the question "Will I graduate?" over and over again (hmmm...I think I may have stumbled upon something here....damage suit!), I breathed a sigh of relief when it did came in...missing one grade! (Oh boy, here we go down that loop again! Ahhhhh!) Good thing, good ol' Mang Fred came to the rescue and gave me Mam Pearl's direct line (Now, dont go telling everyone where I got Mam Pearl's direct line okay? Mang Fred will have my head!). A few minutes on the phone and all was calm again! I was going to march!

Did my marching last April 23 (will try to post my pictures soon) and to be honest, it didnt feel that monumental! Oh, it did feel special if that is what you are asking. I got a chance to dress up, had my hair and make up done but there wasnt that feeling of "this is it" throughout the ceremony. I'm guessing that its because that wasnt "it" exactly! Graduating from law school doesnt make you a lawyer. Its just one of the three things to becoming one. Unlike in college, when you graduate with your degree, you are that already (whatever is it that you took up in college). In law school, graduation is just a stepping stone to attain that ultimate goal---PASSING the BAR. I know I'm being "brutally and callously" realistic here, but a law school graduate is nothing until he passes the BAR. In this jurisdiction, there is no such thing as a para-legal (they are the has beens or woulda, coulda, shoulda beens!). Law has no grey area. Its either you are or you arent a lawyer.

And that is what is driving my parents (and corrorarily me!) nuts!

The P-units are pushing way to hard and I'm pushing back with reciprocal effort. They are giving me a pace that doesnt jive with mine and we're all getting tangled up. *SIGH* I just wish they'd let me be. I'm not saying they let go of me completely but just know when to lay the pressure on and when to lay it off. Putting so much pressure early on will just have me ending up ready to be flaked!

So what's with the title of this post? Well, I just had finished reading Article 5 of the Constitution, particularly on domicile and how it is established, and I thought it would be nice to use as a title for my come back post....after all it does mean 'intention to return'
