Getting serious

Graduation has come and gone. My grandma has come and gone (back to Laoag, not to the hereafter). My cousins (both the pesky and the cuddly varieties) have come and gone. Moments of sleeping the heat away have come and gone. It's time to get serious about the bar exams. Really. That's what I'm telling myself. And today, after two weeks of trying to get into the game, I finally feel my inner warrior stepping to the fore. I'm ready for the books, the reviewers, the lectures, the endless hours and the early mornings. Bring it on.
