Our Condolences

The husband of our Criminal Law professor died. That means our midterm exam was effectively postponed for a week. Notwithstanding this good news-bad news thing, our class went to Sacred Heart to offer our condolences to Judge Yap.



There were lots of people at the wake. I even saw two lawyers I know personally. But we, the students, were reluctant to be part of the crowd. We were not yet family.

* [02-JAN-2009 0845H] That night I was able to observe what it would be like to be a lawyer even if measured only in terms of Judge Yap's (or her husband's) circle of friends and acquaintances. It's something to ponder.

Anyway, I have to go. Shitsurei. Shinakereba-naranai desû. Kuji ni tabetai desû. At nine o'clock, I want to eat.
