This used to be a rather farfetched idea: me and law school.

The only way you could put me and law school in one coherent sentence is when I say “I don’t like law school” which is like saying 1 + 1 = 2; a hard and fast fact. But recently, thanks to my professor who has multiple degrees tucked under his belt, I’ve been contemplating on giving the said field a chance. The idea of having an “Atty.” before and an “M.D.” after my name sounds too ambitious but it doesn’t mean that it’s not possible, does it? Finances aside, I think I can take on the challenge, especially since I am actually a bit on the suicidal side (it is suicide, agree?). The story of how he ended up taking up law after snagging the M.D. was indeed inspiring and the hurdles he had to overcome made my med school problems look like David beside a Goliath. He was studying law, was serving as a physician at a nearby school and was teaching at another institution next door during his lunch break all at the freakin‘ same time. If he wasn’t actually good-looking and charming enough, I would have thought him to be neurotic. I see myself probably doing pretty much the same if only I had XY genes, but since time is of essence for us females who do not wish to be genetic dead ends, doing so would definitely shove my mommy-instincts at the backseat – probably for good.

I asked Bee if he thinks he (or his ego) could take a lawyer-doctor for a wife. He just let out a smile. I knew it. I’d probably just resort to selling life insurance quotes instead.
