firebunny is depressed. he hasn't began studying yet. 😢
------
i am so stupid for choosing law when the very reason why i chose this degree was because of my desire to serve the society. it was only last year when i discovered that my truest desire is to become an engineer! 😢
i couldn't begin studying now even though i wanted to. i still want to become a lawyer but i am often reminded of how lawyers only work for the best interests of their clients, and not of the society. 😢
if i could only turn back time, i will go back to high school and make a much better decision. 😢

thanks much, anjiepants. 🙂 i wish i find motivation to study now. it's hard whenever you think about wanting to work for the society but just couldn't because you have to protect the interests of your client/s. @_@
Stop it, GetMisted. Your opinion does not matter. I was a fool for choosing law... only to find out it's just a money-centric career/profession. I want to be productive to the society. I don't want money out of services to protect particular clients. I had been fooled by the facts I knew. I was wrong. I'm stupid. Now, stop making me feel worse... 😢

Do pro bono work then.
Doesn't make much of a difference. You are still serving the interests of your client and worse, you won't get anything in return... 😢
By the way, I'm in my final year in law school now... so there's no reason why I should back out. I just need motivation. @_@

Can you find something else to do that would make you feel happier ? 😢
I want to work for a research company doing research work, etc... but I might need to earn a master's degree for that. However, I couldn't back out from law because I only have 8 months left before finishing my degree...

You'll be helping those who can't afford the help.
My parents won't give me money anymore after I pass the bar... and I don't have investments either... so if I do it, I'll end up broke. 😢
Or were you running a fantasy of Firebunny vs The Corporations?
Lols. Where'd you get this idea from? My life has always been funny. I'm sorry if I post retarded threads. smh
You have a few months left of being a student. Go get drunk.

I can't. We have the bar months after, which is friggin harder than the bar exams in the US. Only 17-20% pass. I have to ace my classes so I could pass. I still get good grades though. My lowest is 86... but I just lost motivation... just now. @_@

Please explain that to me.
I'm pretty sure my opinion matters just as much as your attempt at attention, no?

Your opinion does not matter because it doesn't help. I already know what you are trying to point out. I needed motivation now. Does your opinion motivate me, directly or indirectly? Think about it.

Get your head back in the books! You don't want to be a pathetic nobody, do you?
Excel in the exam and you increase the likelihood of being headhunted by the top firms. Only way to do that is to be at the top. You're in competition with every one of your class mates. Beat them all.
I have to get this mood out first. I've done well the past four weeks. Classes had just begun this June so I'm fairly doing well this semester. I just don't feel it today because I remembered I just wanted to serve the society. The only reason why I was doing well the past four weeks is the mere realization that women like/want lawyers. It did help me. Lol. I was praised by my groupmates in the internship program for writing a good inter-office memo. But then I remembered that this is not what I wanted to work for. It is way too late now, I guess, because I am on my final year... so I am actually looking for something to change my mind and get me back to work.

Maybe it is you who should think about it.
If you are depressed now because of this realization.. What makes you think you won't be once you get 10 years down the road in that very profession?
My opinion doesn't matter, because a non-realist is the one it's directed to. It doesn't mean it doesn't matter. It just means it wasn't heard.
Open your eyes. Don't expect sympathy when you fail to follow your heart.

How do you know if I didn't read your posts when I clearly and categorically said your opinion doesn't matter, i.e., that it doesn't make any good addition to the discussion? It doesn't matter not because it wasn't heard but because it doesn't make any addition to the topic/discourse at all. How I was able to say that it doesn't matter at all should indicate to you that I have indeed read your points.
Anyway, it is way too late to cease my studies. I only have 8 months to suffer. If I stop, it's synonymous to wasting my first 4 years in law school! That's 4 years! If I stop, I won't get a degree at all even though I could finish it in only 8 months!
That is why I just wanted motivation. Whether I decide eventually to litigate or apply for a master's program is something that I still have to decide. For now, I just want to finish Law because I only have 8 months left! @_@

Okay Firebunny, what you do is this ~~~ you say *8 months out of my life is just a drop in the ocean*
When i think I cant get over or through something i measure it in time and to the relevance of my lifetime. So for example...going to the dentist, for someone who is scared of that..it is probably one hour out of your life etc. Time is speeding up now so that 8 months will fly by
Try that and it may help you to get through

Why, thank you, starlover! Now I have made up my mind to study... I just have to stay here for few more minutes and I will be off taking my dinner! Thank you so much, starlover! 🙂
Actually, I'm having problems striking a balance between and among studies, teaching load, workout and a job at the legislature. There are just so many to juggle! I hope I can make it! It's really a lot. I need to know how I could time-manage myself off of these! @_@

firebunny you are welcome!! it's all about MINDSET and in the grand scheme of things, it is a very small thingGo do that study now!! 😄
((hugs))
Thanks, starlover!
((hugs))
Take it from me.... the legal profession NEEDS lawyers that are willing and passionate about fighting the right fight.

Not the kinda single Mommy that's taking the ex for all he has, but the kind of single Mommy that is fighting for the right for her and her son to live a somewhat more peaceful, and less volatile, existence. Having the Law on your side sure helps with that.

Thanks for giving me another reason why I need to continue my degree. People like you are worth fighting for! 🙂
