My last entry was posted on June 4th? Time indeed passes by quickly and the seasons change in the blink of an eye...
As much as I strive to achieve originality in my writings I feel this update cannot escape the confines of familiar platitudes, since I'm to write about the most universal subject ever embellished by the pen...
Speaking of eyes, one pair has come to mesmerize me as of late, and the attraction goes far beyond their outward beauty. A fiery yet gentle brilliance shines through those eyes, and I find the personality exuding it utterly fascinating. As I sit in class each passing day, especially during a lull, my wandering gaze invariably becomes affixed on her, observing even the most subtle of her movements: the tilting of her head, the brushing of a lock of hair behind her ear, the gesturing of her hands, and of course the curving of her lips as she flashes that luminous smile.
Even during those first few minutes I spent in her presence, as we were meeting for the first time, I instantly sensed a unique quality about her, perhaps best described as an air of intelligence entwined with a feel of kindness. Of course I noticed that she possessed outward beauty, but equally palpable was her captivating aura, which I have since found more and more alluring. I don’t know if anyone else senses these qualities in her; I know simply this: I had never before encountered such a distinctly engrossing character in anyone.
It is quiet evident, and has been for a quiet sometime now, that I have developed a fairly big crush on this girl.
Thus is the state of my heart 2/3 the way into my first semester as a 1L. As for the state of my general affairs, it has been more or less what I had expected before coming in: lots of work, busy almost all the time, and learning interesting class material. There is always more to learn, and I have much to improve to reach where I would ideally like to be.
The ordinary observer, guided by common conventions of wisdom, may surmise that my crush on this girl, whom I’ll henceforth refer to as “Claire,” is creating an undesirous distraction at a time I can ill afford it. Such an inference would only be partially correct. While it is true that at times my attention is inconveniently diverted away from the rigorous study of law, harboring this crush, as I shall explain next time, is propelling me to greater achievements.
