Law School Burnout

I know I am not allowed  to even think of the possibility of a burnout but admittedly, last week and then this week put me into some dumps.

All the readings,  late nights and overnights, and pressure from the home front just got into my nerves and I need an escape.  There is no doubt that I love my studies but then I am only human.

This semester I tried to let go of some work duties to concentrate on my studies but then it backfired. I guess I miss the craziness of having different schedules though it seem chaotic at the same time.  I miss a lot of things.

I guess it goes with the territory.  It can be fun living a 'solitary' life but there are just times that you feel so down and worn out.  An escape is a must!

Hi! I'm a law student from Manila, Philippines.  I did Political Science, then Industrial Relations major in H.R. (postgrad) studies from UP.  I vlog, weightlift, experiment with new makeup looks, try Bollywood and bellydance steps, and rant about my cray life in my YouTube channel.  Once in a blue moon, I create content for another YT channel,  10+ blogs,  20+ FB pages and in HubPages.  Check out my official site.  

Looking for a Travelling Lawyer Job

Travel bug.

One of my simplest wish is to find a job that would make me hop on a plane at least once a month.  No,  not domestic,  but international!  Don't get me wrong because I don't want to live in a suitcase,   I simply want to breathe different air and culture regularly.  (My ultimate dream job is one that allows me to jump off a plane in a sleek skydiving suit, but since there is no such thing as a Skydiving Lawyer,  I better stick to my front -- the Travelling Lawyer part.lol)  

They often say that if you want to live a happy life,  you have to find your passion.  After finding that passion,  find a way to make a living out of it, that is the only way to have a wonderful existence.   So all I could think about is to find a job that will allow me to travel.

I used to think that becoming a lawyer will bring me closer to that dream, oh-oh! Maybe... maybe not,  depending on how I look at it.   Is there even a Travelling Lawyer job?  What are the options?   How about being a lawyer for an airline, hmmn  maybe.   Perhaps a lawyer for a world wide hotel chain with presence in all continents?  How about being a Cyber Security Attorney (is there even one?). Yeah, I am making that last one up.

A few weeks back, I read about this woman who is a notorious plane stow away.  She manages to sneak on a plane without tickets,  can you imagine?!  She would sometimes get away with it but last time she was arrested however, this did not stop her from doing it over and over again.  I thought, cool that must have been her dream activity,  illegal, aye!

Someone said that your thoughts often become your reality...
My thoughts must have pissed off the universe and the heavens (btw, are they 2 different things?) because I have a feeling that my 'hopping on planes' dream job could happen sooner,  law degree or not!   I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

My MacBook Air Booboo

MacBook Air (right).  Just ignore the food, I cannot work without food. :)

My company was kind enough to provide me with a MacBook Air to be used for work-related things so I was able to get it a few weeks ago.  I was asked to chose a laptop and my main consideration is one with a long battery life.  After doing some research I found out that the MacBook Air (13inch) has 12 hours of battery life,  so why not,  coconut?  I was actually thinking that this same feature will be helpful when I'm in the school library which has limited plugging sockets.  So off I went and got the Macbook!

I admit I am really a Windows OS person so using the Mac is quite a challenge function-wise.  No, honestly,  it is a pain (to my bangs) to use it for encoding and creating documents.  Moreover,  I use a lot of programs in design, transcription, etc. and until today,  I still could not figure out how to put them all in the Mac!

Since my old laptop has been acting strange lately and my being Mac-challenged all the more added to my hair-pulling episodes whenever I am unable to do my planned tasks for the day, so I was forced to make an unplanned purchase of another laptop.  Oh dear, that cost me 3-days worth of hotel stay in Boracay!  I hate spending unnecessarily.

And the Macbook?  Well,  it is pretty with its elegant silver finish and slim design body makes it easy for me to slip it in my purse.  And yeah,  I still have to spend a lot of time with it to really maximize its functions -- time that I don't have much any way so the Macbook is now mainly for internet and blogging and backup.  I am not complaining but...
