okae. so, erm, yeah everyone knows i got into marketing NYP. so yeahs. my paternal grandma has been calling since yesterday to know what i got. I kinda like avoided calling her back until she caught up with me today. Ooops. hahah.
anyways, yesterday was PAY DAY! Wooo. so cashed in the check and now i'm $$$$$$ richer. the amount will not be specified. hahha. guess what i learned today? an average lawyer earns $500 bucks an hour. cool right? so ya imagine, you did 20 hours research, 20 hours of summat else and another coupla 20 hours doing this and that. and you get 50K made in one case. wowza! that sounds like sweeet money to me.
but no, dont get the wrong idea. law is tough. hell, any job is tough. =applauds to the working world= but seriously, working as a temp in my parents office is an eye opener. please, dont say you work like three days or so, that doesnt count. as in you seriously need to be from the bottom rung working your way up kind of experience. it's no easy feat. my boss can piss me off so much but i still need to hold my tongue and take all that sh*t, even if i do end up bursting up. >.<
but seriously, law students, take note, it's not an easy path. i used to think even with my strong background of english and a passion for history and literature, i weave up a fantastic, strong case for a client (this is my fantasy, bear with it) with my literature, story writing skills. history, to recall the diff laws and examples, tort and so on. english, to be in court, arguing and to persuade the judge in my favour, or rather my client's favor.
-poof- that's a dream. real life. you deal with difficult @ssh0les on a daily basis. my mom does mostly insurance and all and it's freaking annoying. you mail and call the debtors or gurantors for money they owe and they arent willing to shell out a damn cent! most of them wait til you bankrupt them so at least they can keep their nice large homes or whatever. my dad does construction law. that's even worse, the cases drag on and on and on. and it's tiring, there are days my dad doesnt get home past one and he's back at work by 7 the next day, i've heard about it from his secretary and my dad. even if i wont admit it to them, i think it's really awesome that they do this for a living.
moving on, had a pretty good day overall. went out for lunch with evelyn and christine (forgive my lack of manners but i find it diff to call them auntie). we ate at Ethan's place. hahha. it's really good. it's americanized or european-'lized'. lols. was handed this huge file around four. took me like 3 and 1/2 hours to complete. i was so frustrated. i kept on going back to the previous debtor (there was seven of them) just to add in or correct something. now i understand how my parents' secretaries feel.
later went home after stopping by the new kfc at east coast. coolness, it's next to the underpass from my house. =))) hahahha. went home and had dinner. as in cheese fries and steamed fish. weird combo, i know.
my sister is such an conniving little b1tch. she cant back down even when she's in the wrong. she carries this holier than thou attitude when clearly the only thing holy is the holy stinking gas she expels from her @ss. LOLS. just over a teeny tiny matter of a telly show and she's impelled to be the all-knowing one. -.- like anyone's impressed. typical prat.
she is such an attention seeker. she argues about everything between my siblings and her. one would think she would have learnt her lesson during her VERY public scolding in swenson's but noooo, apparently it has fallen on deaf ears. she likes to portray herself as Cinderella, the poor, underprivileged, 'abused' one in the family but during the other times she's either lording over someone else as she's obviously way 'cleverer' or 'wittier' or whatever she can come up with OR she's flouncing around with her ATTITUDE PROBLEM mood as she licks her wounds from a battle of words.
excuse me miss, thank you for letting us know that your math and science are adequate. but have you actually competed? on a national level? or even higher? please dont say those yearly academic exams they ask ppl to sit for, nearly everyone does. i did it too and i'm not ashamed to say that i routinely fail my maths and i still got my chance to take the maths test from wales.
have you achieved top student in ANY subject since you think you are better? for the record, i hold 3 years of top student but you, on the other hand, have none. i competed in competitions in my STRENGTHS or otherwise. i've got debate, writing and believe or not, science and technology under my belt to chalk up as experience.
popularity, you may retort. yes, i may have a much smaller circle of friends. but i believe in quality, not quantity. i have a more intimate relationship with them. at least i dont backstab them or gossip about them to someone else. talk about rumors, yes, i do. to ppl i hate, it's no hidden secret. i dont waste time in pretending to be your friend. you're fair game when it comes to gossip then.
please open your eyes before you mouth off. a minor matter should be rubbed off. do not blow it out of proportions. you can list 'making mountains out of molehills' under your list of talents and 'bitchy and irritating things i do'. maybe i did make a mistake, maybe i did not but i wasnt even making conversation to you, so what the hell do you want?
go ahead. comment more on your blog. i have you linked. it proves how much more immature you are to hold on to this pathetic grudge that occurred due to your own mistakes.
