Predetermined

Ninang Luz: Hello sweet. We're looking for a CPA. Permanent position, salary about P18K a month plus allowance and other benefits. Please apply.

Sweet: Good morning ninang. Thanks, but I don't think I can handle regular employment right now because I'm already in my 3rd year of law school. Actually, I have already resigned from audit. My schedule won't permit it.

x------------------x

The reply I gave to Ninang Luz is a predetermined answer that I've given not only to her but to other people who have generously offered me a job as an accountant. I'm not totally saying goodbye to accounting. But for now, I don't think my school life would survive if I confine myself to regular employment. Though the salary really tempts me to accept it, I would have to choose between school and career, and in the end, I would still choose school. The Nosebleed Fraternity would certainly lose a kikay member if I quit school. But kidding aside, I may not be earning much right now but I have the greatest consolation: bonus time for my studies.

  1. Predetermination. I admire the steadfast setting of priorities. Other people would have just whined. Sorry if I keep commenting here - it's a nice blog really and I can't write anything new on mine because my writing juices aren't flowing. Besides, I've been talking barok english with Koreans all month long and not getting 'the rainmaker deal'. It's very hard to think of something original to say if the situation isn't so bloody simple. I wish I could share my current legal predicaments - they're just dying to scream their way out. Hope you won't mind. I have a lot of repressed legalese floating about keeping me up until 2 am. The sad thing is I am thinking about them even if they do not concern me. Anyway, here's a gist of it: http://dannybuntu.i.ph

    writing juices aren't flowing? oh! i have those times.. hahaha! and when i force myself to write something, nothing would come out...

    hopefully, you'd find your way back into law school next year! =)

  3. The odds are against me - and there is a stigma that if you dropped out - it means you were either kicked out or failed. I didn't! Wala pa nga midterms when I dropped out. Pero sadly, that was my decision then and the stigma will remain. Well, ok lang, I want to go to law school to protect the families interests. Hirap kasi maloko ngayon.

  4. here in davao, dropping out doesn't matter! when somebody drops out of ateneo, they enrol in UM (my school, hehe), and when somebody drops out of UM, they enrol in Cor Jesu... OMG! Baka patayin ako ng mga students for posting this...

    I hope nobody misinterprets this comment.. I just want to share that dropping out, whether its because of grades or for any other reason, is not a bar that could stop you from fulfilling your dreams!
